Golden Age issue 12

I love how internet has opened up a hole new world of opportunity to find inspiration, artists and to do networking all over the world. Now and then I look at who's reading my blog and I'm amazed that people from so many places have found it. My top 7 countries are Sweden (first of course) and then USA, Germany, Great Britain, Russia (!), Italy and France. I think writing in English helps a lot even if I know my English is far from perfect. Since I was a little girl I have had problems with spelling and reading and I had a strong need to express myself through images. I saw myself more as a painter until the age of 16 when I took my first class in photography. I loved how instant it was and since I'm an impatient person it suited me well. But it wasn't until I went to photography school at the age of 22 I started doing digital photography. I know that it's cool to do analogue but I just love working with digital, It's the closest I have ever come to combine my passion for photography with my love for painting.
In the beginning I wrote that you can find so much inspiration on the web. Some month ago I stumbled upon Golden Age, a photo magazine that promotes photographers who would like to get their name out there. I really liked it and decided to try to get some of my own published. The other day issue 12 was released with my picture on the cover (!) and also a spread inside the magazine. It made me so happy and I would like to share it with you. If you want to have a look at the issue and all the photographers featured go to http://issuu.com/goldenage/docs/issue12 I really recommend that you do!

Special thanks to the models Sarah, Ina, Marika, Bella and Ida, the make-up & hair artists Jenny Beckman and Camilla Jönsson who helped me to created some of following images.

Endorphins

There are many things happening at the moment that gives me a rush of endorphins. There are things I wish I could share now but I just have to keep them to myself for a little bit longer. But one thing that I can share is that today the Swedish band Calaisa released a single with my picture on it. I just adore these women and I love their cover of Fairytale of New York. I took this picture already 09 in NY but just recently discovered it. As a Swede I have been taught to be modest but I just have to say that I love this image. I can't beleive that I took it...

London!

I had not been to London in 13 years when I last week arrived in the city. I was there to visit one of my closest friend Madde and through her I also got to know some new great people. Time passed so quickly as I experienced the city. During my long weekend I went to three different flee markets (Portobello, Bricklane and Camden) and of-course I bought rings. If you know me you know that where ever I go in the world I buy at least one ring as a memory of my visit. Besides flee markets I did the tourist sightseeing, ate to much, saw inspiring exhibitions at National portrait gallery and V&A, danced to 80s and 90 s music at Jazz, celebrated a birthday, had the traditional fish and chips at a cosy pub but most of all I tried to relax after a hectic summer and fall. London was all I expected and more...
Speciall thanks to Madde for just being you, to Tina for enriching my stay, to Delia, Line, Danilo and Stefania for having me in your home...mi casa es su casa!
