Västra Spöland

November 20, 2016

I’ve developed yet another new routine. I hope this one will work out well. To spend half an hour a day on photography. Considering my current situation this should be realistic. This year has been heavily dominated by theology studies and family life, and a struggle has been to regularly find time for photography in-between all the other everyday tasks.

Having a goal which I will measure in time spent instead of completed tasks should work out better than previous goals.

One of those photos I think will mean a lot to me in 10 years. Even more in 20 years. And so on.

Keep taking pictures [Bjarte]. Not so much for the sake of the present, but for the sake of the future.

This is a photo which is very special to me on several levels.

The person through that opening was at the time my girlfriend whom I had known for some months. Now my wife.

The river you’re looking at was at the time just some river. Now the main view from where I’m sitting right now.

The village you see there a bit hidden in the background was an unexplored place to me. Now my home.

So, this photo illustrates the starting point for the biggest change in my life. The year after this photo was taken I moved from Norway to Sweden for the sake of love. Pretty much everything which has happened after this moment I can relate back to this photo. It’s where my new life started.

December 25, 2015

When the baby is asleep it’s possible to find time for some photography work, which is the case right now. I’m slowly starting to dig into the 2015 archive since it’s soon time for the annual the year in photos. This recent winter view from our kitchen window is one of the current candidates. I think it will be a collection dominated by “silent photos” with reflections and shapes such as this one. I think this year I’ve settled with the style I have. I’ve had to tell myself a photo doesn’t necessarily have to have a person in it to be interesting. And I think it’s when you’re able to settle with the style you have that you will start making good photographs, because they will be interesting to you and you will be motivated to continue. Why am I writing this? Because for some years I’ve searched and struggled with my photography because I took photographs in a certain way and published certain photos on this website because I was trying to please others in order to get work from them. This may have resulted in some good shots for sure, but since the motivation for taking the photographs was all wrong in the first place I didn’t find much joy in my photography. And when the joy disappears I think it will eventually show itself in most of the work. This year I’ve been able to break this trend and feel more free when choosing what and how to take photos. Therefore I’m looking forward to publish my favorites from 2015.

Northern Lights – Vindelälven

October 9, 2015

Finally I got to see the northern lights for myself. The shifting green shapes against the dark backdrop were spectacular. I believe it was God saying “hey, look what I can do!” to us.

As a photographer I often find it hard to really experience an experience, because I’m so eager to photograph it. This was definitely the case here. Since I’ve never experienced northern lights before I had no idea how long it would last and so I was very focused on getting good photos. Next time I’ll try to remember to take a deep breath and just enjoy the sight for a moment inbetween the shooting as well.

Det bästa med Linnévägen mellan Västra Spöland och Jämteböle är de fina grillstugorna.

Att blanda bilder från olika sammanhang är en svår konst eftersom de har så lite med varandra att göra. Däremot kan det vara bra att publicera en aktuell portfolio för att det kan vara lämpligt att presentera favoriterna och vad som kännetecknar bildspråket. Jag vet att du gärna vill få en snabb överblick över mitt arbete. Det ska du få.

The year in photos

2014

January 9, 2015

Ännu ett bildår är förbi och jag dyker in i mitt skattkammare fylld av ögonblick och vyer för att hitta mina favoriter. Vad har präglat mina 365 fotografiska dagar? Västra Spöland utan tvekan. Det är inte onaturligt, eftersom jag bor här. Det är samtidigt också svårt, för man ser sina hemtrakter så ofta att det blir en utmaning att verkligen «se», i fotografisk mening. Det är en utmaning jag gillar och som jag tänker fortsätta ställa mig inför.

Västra Spöland

November 28, 2014

Ibland när jag vandrar runt bland dessa vackra landskap i Västra Spöland kan jag inte låta bli att tänka att det är som att gå runt i en Sune Jonsson-värld. När man bor på landet är det en kort väg från det nya till det förflutna. Byn med alla människor, djur, gårdar och hus representerar det nya. De gamla ladorna i landskapen representerar det förflutna. Det viktigaste är att fotografera det nya för att bevara det för framtiden, men när det är så dimmigt och vackert som i förmiddags tar förtjusningen för kulturlandskapen och naturen överhand. Ingen anledning till att kämpa emot. Continue Reading…

October 14, 2014

Som en del av ett pågående dokumentärprojekt om Västra Spöland följde jag med i en av traktorerna som transporterade stutarna till naturbetesmarkerna Vännässjön. Trevligt att få exklusiv tillgång till det här betessläppet som lockade väldigt många människor. Continue Reading…

Linnévägen

October 1, 2014

Till minne av botanikern Carl von Linné arrangerades en vandring på Linnévägen från Västra Spöland till Jämteböle. Vandringen var väldigt rolig och innehöll både häst-och-vagn-skjuts, en dansföreställning i skogen, fika, musik och en föreställning om Carl von Linné. Continue Reading…
