HALLWYL MUSEUM

The entrance

In may we visited the Hallwylska Museum in Stockholm. In the middle of the big and busy town of Stockholm you can find a little paradise on his own. This original and fascinating house brings you back 100 years.  A family that buildet and furnished the house with the idea of making it a museum already at that time. Original old telephones, a luxyry bathroom, kitchen, and one of the first elevators of the town. This and more you can find at the museum. You can join a tour, that I hardly recommend to get the insider informations. We had a marvellous guide that really was keen on telling us some funny details of the family.

FJÄDERHOLM ISLAND , STOCKHOLM MAJ 2011

During a short visit in Stockholm last may I visited for the firt time the little island of  Stora Fjäderholmen, about 20 minutes with the boat out on the archipelago. On the island there are several cafés/restaurant. During the spring time birds nest here and wherever you go you see seagulls or gooses. REally cute to see how to take care of their eggs, among all the toursit having picnic and sunbathing.

Handycraft shops and exhibition are part of the attractions on the island. Even a whisky distillery  (Mackmyra Swedish Whishy) can be found there.

ELVIRA BIRA

Förra veckan så blev det en lång helg i Stockholm. Bland allt i mitt programm så hade jag inbokat en fotografering med Punk-Ukulele-Matilda som spelar tillsammans med sin pappa i bandet ELVIRA BIRA. Anledning att jag ville fota Matilda var att hon är så ganska unik i sin genre vad det gäller att spela PUNK musik med en ukulele. Jopp, sådant finns också! Jätteläkert sound som ger en sådan el-ukulele och tillsammans med Matildas personlighet (go, trevlig, unik, stark, enveten, medveten, rebellisk) blev möte med henne en underbar upplevelse. Efter fotograferingen blev det också några bilder under spelning på Leffeys i Gamla Staden i Stockholm.

Elvira Biras video finns på You Tube hur många som helst. Det är bara att Googla!
