GOTHENBURG - GÖTEBORG ....

and I still love this town.

After almost 11 years in Sweden, I still know why I love to be here!

THE SKY, the swedish sky.

Look at this blue colour...I am sold again.... dear Göteborg.

The new skylight down at the harbour, with the lipstick on the left and the new panorama wheel with heated cabins where you have a great view of town. A must even for those who live in town. Just be tourist for ONE day in your own town.



VARBERG - THE BATHHOUSE

When I moved to Sweden in 2000 I visited many places around Gothenburg and south of my new hometown.
Varberg, is a sea town and has a remarkable fortress just on the coastside. The whole city has a special touch of history and water has and does still play a big role for the town. Here you can find different kind of hotels with Spa and just in front of the fortress a wooden construction rises from the water. The bathing house. When I first saw it, I thought I was somehow on the wrong side of the world. The maroccan/arab details mixed with the northen sky light hits one. Admiration, astonishment, curiosity.

Many visits have I done to Varberg in these last ten years; it's just one hour drive away from Gothenburg and well worth several visits, even if it's just to walk on the seaside, take a cup of tea in one of the cozy cafés, or visit the museum in the fortress, or why not, book a spa for a week-end.

The pictures shown here are taking winter 2010, an amazing sunday afternoon.

LAMIN x 2

Model Lamin came for the second time to my studio today, this time for a more serious shoot.
I loved to work with Lamin. He listens and acts freely, which I like very much. More sessions to come later this year.

You will also find a bigger kind of citrus called CEDRO. Normally this fruit has a rougher skin and a sweet white meat. You can make a sallad only with this fruits, some olive oil, peppar and salt. Just delicious.

FRENCH WINDOW - picture of the week no. 3

A wonderful winterday in southern France, very close to Marseille in a little village I was strolling around with the camera and found this beautiful old window and the light that matched like a couple. It seems like the light is waiting for the window to open and say "Hi, how are you? wanna have a coffee?"

PICTURE OF THE WEEK - no. 2

Copenhagen at the restaurant Peder Oxe I was having lunch in a room filled of violins on the wall.

Though I can't play the violin, I think it's one of the most lovely instrument that exist, an instrument that can speak, that is sensual and has a story to tell.
