• Spring winter in Norrbotten

  

  Paper mills and snow mobiles. I’m trying to present a more correct image of the north of Sweden which is not only about nature. It’s about the natural resources of Norrbotten and what we do with them.

  My meeting with the Icelandic horses during my visit in January and a reflection about using a camera versus using the camera that’s in my phone. Also a bit about the benefits of entering photo contests and the iPhone Photography Awards.

• Gran Canaria, you surprised me!

  

  My travels along the winding roads in the mountains of Gran Canaria. A bit about landscape photography too and why not a mobile phone is the best option to capture the scenery.

• Sámi National Day

  

  A wish for a Happy Sámi National day, and many more to come. With a photo I took above the arctic circle just after the midnight sun had disappeared for a short while during one of my road trips during one very special summer.

• Winter at the Arctic Circle

  

  A short “Hello” from me about my recent travels to Iceland and New York, but mostly about how life is up in the north of Sweden in the wintertime, especially Kalix where I’m based. And what you can do up here during the winter.

• Sony World Photography Awards

  

  My view about entering photography awards, this time it was the Sony World Photography Awards. And is it really possible to compete in photography. Also, what does I as a photographer learn from entering photo contests.
