Something that I don´t often do. However, with my dear friend Knut, his brother Asle and their wonderful friends in Norway it all went well. We caught lots of fish. Fishing is very relaxing. Also taking care of the net after is contemplative. We had so much of everything and nothing to talk about. First time I managed to photograph fishing as well.
Thanks Knut for letting me borrow your camera!

I missed them all yesterday. Almost… 😊🏇😊 Pelle
When I go to a horse race to photograph I make no promises. Not to me or anyone else. No promises that my images should be sharp, show what horse or jockey, or anything. I go there with total freedom for creating and I don´t listen to nobody. Surprise me! That is all that I say to myself. Because of that I don´t really know until afterwards in the studio what I brought back. Is it useful and did I surprise myself. Do I like it? At the bottom I have included two of my friends and colleagues. Wolfram and Elina.See you on Sunday again.
Only two images are cropped…
This is a small selection from yesterdays 979 exposures. The one at the top is my favorite.

Great to see these images from a young Bod Dylan! I was happy to attend his first concert here in Stockholm last Saturday after that he received The Nobel price. A great concert by a great artist. He has changd his hat. 😊 Pelle
As Bob Dylan accepts his Nobel prize for literature this weekend, an exhibition of photographs of him on the cusp of international fame is planned to open in New York. The photographer Ted Russell first met Dylan in 1961 and his intimate pictures of Dylan performing, and at home, are the subject of a show at the Steven Kasher Gallery featuring dozens of images never before seen in the city. Bob Dylan NYC 1961–1964 opens on 20 April and will run until 3 June.

You have seen some of these earlier in my blog. Many great images. The opportunity comes slow like a snail and disappears like a lightning. You better be prepared!

I picked it up in The Washington Post.
High and low, from near and far, colorful and SO much more. Some of the amazing wild life images that are produced by talented photographers.

The project is organised by Cafe Art, a social enterprise that hosts exhibitions of artwork by homeless people. Their first calendar was created back in 2012
Each photographer was first given training by the Royal Photographic Society, who have since been mentoring the photographers every two weeks to continue to develop their skills
Cafe Art says its aims are to empower homeless people, allow them to tell their stories and raise awareness of their plight
The images selected for the calendar were picked via a public vote in August
‘Painting, drawing, sketching, photography, sculpturing and craft making are some of the many activities that homeless people or those who are socially excluded are encouraged to do to help boost self-esteem, confidence and self-worth,’ Cafe Art say. ‘It is also therapeutic in that it acts as an outlet to channel their feelings, frustrations, anger, but also hope and optimism for the future’
A great idea with some great photos.
I found the article in The Guardian.

A young boy is injured during a Russian airstrike that targeted the Qaterji neighborhood at sunset. An hour after he and his family were rescued, the whole building collapsed. His parents and 3 siblings were injured in the attack as well. (Photo by Mahmoud Rslan)
This photograph kicked me in my stomach and it hit my heart. Like the one with the child drowned on the beach. Or too many others of the same subject. I feel ill and helpless. Why do people have to fight over land, race, religion. Or other stupid things? I have just sent a small donation to Doctors Without Borders. Can you? Or any other organization that you think can help.
