KUL HAR MAN I ALLA FALL

som fotograf. Idag var en av de dagar där man verkligen får uppleva det annorlunda och sticka ut på uppdrag.  Jag skulle porträttera Eva som har Evas Ullkläder. Jag tänkte att det hade varit kul att få med på bild lite får då hennes kläder är gjorda av 100% ull. Eva ringde en granne och vi fick åka dit. Fåren fick färsk mat och vi hade himla kul att fotografera bland de och riktig tur med vädret. Det var så skönt!
Tack Eva för en trevlig stund och alla fåren med!























Jag passade på att köpa lite goa underkläder och är ni sugen på riktig bra kvalité som inte bara slängs efter några månader gå in på http://www.ullklader.se/.

YOUNG SHEPHARDS

Sicily, Province of Trapani

Shephard Vito and his companion came across my view while driving through the beautiful landscape of the province Trapani on the west coast of Sicily.
"750 sheeps and 13 dogs we have" - tells me Vito (on the left) proudly when I ask him. We produce Ricotta (fresh cheese) and sheep cheese as well. Our farm is a few kilometers from here.
I can't stop thinking that I have hardly seen a shephard in Sweden, who does this job anymore?

Vito has his co-worker from north Africa, he hardly speaks any italian. A lot of young sicilian leave their country because they can't find job and to continue the family farm people have to get cheap working labour.
A few days later we see on tv the news of several boats that arrived in Lampedusa island full of emigrant from Tunisia. Where will all those young people go and work and find their happiness.



But today, in this little piece of Sicily everything isso magic, almost romantic, peacefull beside the 750 sheeps bleating.

COUNTRY LIFE







Swedish countrylife. 25 degrees warm, then it's summer, a good swedish summer.



I have been invited to spend a night in a cozy summer house 1 hour from Gothenburg. The weater couldn't have been better. Good food, lovely company and a magnificent contry place.



I felt like a child, back in Switzerland. The only difference is that the houses are red in Sweden while we have cottages in Switzerland.
