RAMBOLINE IN DENMARK

Summer 2011, the island of Farsö on Jyilland in Denmark. We just went off a little ferry and what do we see...an elefant...in the middle of Denmark...an elefant...my eyes plopped out just to see if it was really and elefant. Yes yes, it was. Stop the car. Take out the 70-200 mm, 2.8 and shoot! Ramboline is the name of this cute elefant that spent time eating along the road. Cirkus Dannebrogs just on the other side of the bushes where Ramboline had a good time with herself.

CASTLE MANDAWA

Today while cleaning my desk I found a brochure of the Castle Mandawa, a hotel we stayed in the heart of Rajasthan. Rajasthan is really colourful and is the reagion of the Rajputs. The little town of Mandawas is knows for it's mural frescoes in the havelis and temples.  I have to admit that normally I would not have the possibility to sleep in such a luxury place but due to the fact that I was travelling as a press photographer I had the great chance to try this kind of life as well.  Our room was amazing with high beds and a marvellous bathroom. Halv of the castle was turned into hotel while the other one was falling apart. Owned by two brothers where the one really cared about the tradition of the maharajas and the other just left it over. It was intresting to see the clear differences between the two parts.

This is one of the guards that you will meet at the entrance of the Castle Mandawa with this traditional clothes.


One evening we went upstairs and have a look of the surroundings. We felt someone was following us.
This mother with her 2 daughters catched us up on the top of one of the towers and asked us if we wanted to take a picture of her. I started to talk with her. She explained us that she had to take care of ther 2 daughters by herself. Her husband died a few years ago and the castle hired her to clean the rooms. So I thought, sure I can take a few picture of you. While travelling in India you have to be prepared that people don't do things without wanting money. In the beginning I got upset about it, but at the end I thought: "It's a job", of course they try to get the best out of it and especially here, in a luxury residence. She left with a big smile and this will always remain in my heart.


One of the tower of the Hotel. There are rooms everywhere.


Evening with buffe and music. The musicians were about 80 years old I guess, but played really good.


Our bedroom....or suite ....

HARRY OLIVER

And suddenly one day I got a phone call from Norrland. "We would like to take pictures of one of our actors in Gothenburg" said the gentle voice on the other side of Sweden. "Sure, no problem". "We need a picture of him that we can put together as a collage with the pictures of the other actors".
A few days later actor Joakim Hedman from Gothenburg, that also played at Sunset Boulevard at the Gothenburg Opera came smiling to my humble studio with a bag full of clothes and hats.
We tried out a few poses and after one hour I had enough material to send to my customer.
And here is the result! Joakim is the guy with the blue hat.


And here you can find information on the musical  http://www.harryoliver.se/

AMANDA GOES CURIOUS

A wonderful little girl with plenty of energy and curiousity. She loves flowers. So her great parents took some yellow flowers to the studio for the shoot. We played as usually and then suddenly she put the flowers on the little chair and disappeared behind. And up she came and framed herself with the chair. I got in love in this picture, so spontaneous, so real. No fake, no do this, do that. She just did.

BRÖDER





Here we have two cool boys, brothers. I like the fact of equal clothes coz the focus runs on their faces and personality instead. We had really a lot of fun together!
