>Back in September I spent an afternoon documenting the Farmers Market (Bondensmarknad) on Södermalm as part of a 4 man team of photographers from my photo club (stockholmsbild). The job was part of a project in collaboration with Stockholms City Museum (stadsmuseet) to update the documentary picture archives. There were 5 other teams documenting different markets across the city at exactly the same time. Together we had an exhibition at the annual Fotomässan and next week our group will present a larger collection of photos at the Farmers market Annual Meeting. We also have a local exhibition coming up soon at Medborgarsplatsen library. Since I haven’t published any of these shots before I have created a couple of collages to share now. My responsibility in the team was to focus on portraits of the shoppers and stall holders as well as products. Others focussed on the stalls, overviews and transactions.
(For those who can’t read Swedish the sign in the first collage says pick your own bouquets!)

>Busy at the computer this evening I edited a couple of shots I took in Norway last Summer. It made me remember how completely stunnning the Nærøyfjord Fjord was. It is actually the worlds most narrow fjord and is a Unesco World herritage site! This first shot was taken on our first evening on an exploratory walk from our camp site, camera and tripod in hand of course! It was the start location of our 3 day kayak trip.

This shot was taken from the openeing of our tent on day 3 as the first sunshine entered the Fjord. It was such a magical sight.

>A little ice-skating on lake Tullinge this afernoon as the sun went down made a perfect opportunity for us both to get some training in, physical training for Olof and photography training for me! Here’s my favourite shot…

>I took these shots over the Christmas holidays. The first was taken on the beach at Kattvik (outside Båstad) and the second is taken at Falsterbo.

Testing new techniques in PS this morning, I focussed on some shots I took of my husband over the christmas holiday and I’m very pleased with the outcome! I can’t decide if I prefer the colour or B/W version of the first shot though…hmm..
