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.

New York, Manhattan

Hi,

In my aim to get this blog up and running again I have decided to start with this image. A well known landmark from New York. The Empire State Building. During frequent visits many years ago that was my main subject for my photography. This is one of the images I like the most. It was not made in an ordinary way, let me tell you. It is no secret. I tripped my small camera, a Minox 35, on my foot. Like this illustration below. It was late afternoon and I needed to steady my camera. People passing by was looking at me wondering what I was doing, though this was NY. Nothing surprises. This was the result from four exposures, I think. I think I could not have made it better aiming with my hands and eyes. Or, what do you think? Without metadata on my film I think it was during the late 70´ or early 80´s.

: ) greetings Pelle

I Love Paris in The Springtime

Well, who does n´t? I have just spent a few in the city attending the Gourmand World Cookbook Summit. Spring happened to be there too. Always inspiring. Of course I managed to get some pictures from the Eiffel Tower.  Here is a small selection for you.

Only one image is made with my phone…

It has been too long since I last wrote here and showed some images. It will not take that long before next time. More from Paris coming up.

Perhaps it keeps the doctor away. His wife will know.

“a man with the camera of an artist, the pen of a poet and a genius for the impossible”

Said by Harrison Salisbury about David Douglas Duncan. A life in photography. This is fantastic reading from Washington Post with many great links for more interesting material.

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.
