Last Saturday it was party time – with the theme “burlesque”. A while ago I had taken pictures for the invitation, and the lengths to which the party guests went to live up to the theme were amazing. Still, they were just about able to match the decoration of the rooms. So all of you who were present at the party, thanks for being such amazing models. I hope you like the pictures!
Recently I crossed the 800-pictures threshold at Maskot – currently I have 801 photos for sale with them, and soon there will be more. It only took a few days for one of the latest newcomers to get sold for the first time – it was the one in the lower right hand corner of this screenshot.
Here is also a selection of pictures that will appear within the next few weeks – illustrating the fast transition from winter to spring that we experienced in the last few days. Given that there are so many more people out running and exercising now since it became a bit warmer, I also included a few pix of a kettlebell.
Also, the annual report of the health care provider was published – look here and check out pages 6 and 7 – this time I took the portraits with the available light and a reflector. The nice bookshelves in the background were cut out to make room for the text here, but I hope there will be an opportunity at some other time to include them as well. And in about 2 or 3 weeks’ time the next “Hälsotecken” will appear.
It’s a favourite Swedish pastime to look for spring signs, so that’s what we did as well. This year the spring is slower than usual, temperature-wise, but in terms of hours of sunshine March was just amazing. Maybe that’s why the snowdrops found their way out of the still frozen ground anyway. An unmistakable sign of spring is when the roads get cleared from grit, and of course when we buy a new set of daffodils that will be planted into the garden later on.
Recently I was lucky enough to be asked to take portraits of two little sisters, and they were really incredibly cute. We went from jumping in the bed over a princess throne to a more studio-like setup, and we had fun throughout the session.
Gullisar!!
Over the Easter holidays I ran around town to take a few new traffic pictures – both trucks, tactile guidelines for blind people, and generally mixed traffic were on demand. In the end I especially liked those two pictures.
But not enough with traffic on land; we took a hike from the locks in Berg over to the “Dubbelgångare” – or “Doppelgänger” in good English? It is a 9 m high work of art, made of iron, and it weighs four tons. Seen from the locks (or from the opposite side) it looks like a walking man, but it really is two walking men, intersecting each other at an angle of 90 degrees. It is possible to climb up, even though I am not sure whether that really was the artist’s intention, so I only went as far as to reach his crotch
