What is this?

Has this happened to you too? Just found some old, not used in a long time, USB memory sticks. This is a series of images that was hidden on one of them. Was, they are not hidden any longer.

The stick is named Malmö_Cph 2015-12-13 jpeg. I assume it is images photographed in Malmö and in Copenhagen in 2015. Not too complicated to understand. About 10 years ago. What was I doing there? Visiting my wife who used to work there for some time. Could be, but I really don´t remember. Looks like I was looking down most of the time. Viewing streets through my camera..

Looks like I was doing some street photography. And was having great fun.

It was ages since I wrote in my blog, but I hope I can do that more often, much more often, this year. It is fun!

Greetings from Pelle 😊

Perpignan in fond memory.

I have attended the press photo festival several years. Always in fond memory for the exhibitions, workshops, colleagues and the city. A special theme for my own photography has been “door art”. You will understand when you see my pictures. Always lively in color and graffiti. The door knobs not to forget. Photographers tend to like the small things that will catch the eye, but perhaps not what everybody can see.

When ever I go on a journey and bring my camera, I am looking for a theme to explore. In Perpignan it wasn´t difficult to find one.

A promise for the new year?

Could it be? I miss writing and posting here on my blog, so I should try to better myself during this new year. Posting new and old photographs. And writing about photography. Mine and others. I am today a pensionist, but still active and I really love my profession. So here to start this new year is another look in the rear view mirror. Some photographs for Bågar & Glas here in Stockholm. I brought them out from my archive and updated them with some new color. Bågar & Glas is a well established optician in Stockholm.

😊 Wishing you all a fine 2025, Pelle

This was The Image Bank version at the time.

Alphabet city

Perhaps you thought that is only a part of New York City, but it is everywhere. You don´t believe me? I will show you. This is an exercise I did in art school, but I also did it not so long ago. Back then it was in b/w but now it is in color. I didn´t go far to get all the letters. It is great fun and you can do it in many different ways. Like every season. In sunny or cloudy weather.

I made it in English and stopped short of Å, Ä and Ö, but I found them too. A good exercise on your next stroll in the city. Wherever you are. This is Stockholm.

A long and dear cooperation

2017. Used gloves. I found them on the streets mostly.

It started in 1998. I had met Peter Schäublin at a Sinar workshop in Schaffhaussen, Switzerland. At the time he worked at the company as head of prints, brochures etc. We became friends and started to share ideas. We came up with the idea of a calendar and made the first one in 1998, together with the local Swiss printer Stamm. We kept it up until 2019, with only two years that we missed. Time and economics change so it is no more. It was a dear challenge to me to come up with new ideas for images every year. The very first images were produced with my Dicomed Digital 4×5″ scanner camera.

Peter, a very talented photographer and graphic designer, developed a design that complimented my images. Over the years it became more and more playful.

Here is a small selection of images. I used flowers, toys, food, used gloves, vegetables, old tools, ice, instruments, spoons, watches etc. for props. It is all very much “Pelle Style”.

If you would like to see more images from our cooperation , have a look at my homepage: https://www.znapshot.se/kalendrar-2002-2019

I really love being a photographer!

An early selection. 1999 was not a calendar together with Peter.

Perhaps to be included in the 2019 calendar

These images could be selected for the 2019 calender. A project I have made for about 20 years together with my dear friend Peter Schaeublin in Schaffhaussen, Switzerland. And the Stamm printers. The calendar has always been a giveaway and is not for sale.

For a start…

Horses and jockeys, off course. But there would be no races without starters. They assist the jockeys in loading the horses into the boxes and they help calming some nervous horses. Here are e few images from yesterdays races, and some of the starters at Bro Park. It is always such an inspiration to go there.

First, the races.
