The photographers dilemma

I have started to defeat the fact that I never am visible in photos since I always am the one carrying the camera. But it isn´t easy.

It gets too small ....

Luxoury days at a SPA

For the first time I ever we went for a conference - my team at work and the new boss 8my organization is pretty anorectic). We had two lovely days at a SPA at the coastline. Lots of fun & giving tasks to do, white wine in the bubble pool looking out over the sea and marvellous food. There was autumn in the air but never the less very joyful & relaxing.

Judge Persson in the Judgemental Circle - a walk at Pilane burial grounds

The art was there...

The sheep was there...

The kids was there...posing as beautiful as ever....

And the judge was there...

Among the sheeps - a walk at Pilane Burial gounds

I move this posts over from an old blog. To celebrate it is spring here. Once it is started it gets quick. Soon it is summer.

At the ancient meadows - at a burial ground 1500 years old - world art is exhibited. Visited by thousands of people and some "native" sheeps. Bring your own coffee, some sandwiches and take a walk and enjoy something amazing. It will at least take you half a day. Walk with me and enjoy some pictures. First some facts though.

"There is a large number of stone formations still visible at Pilane burial ground at Tjörn in the county of Bohuslän, including fifteen majestic judgement circles with raised stones within a circle of round stones. These stone formations have been dated to the middle Iron Age, 0-600 A.D. [Source Riksantikvarieämbetet]

Weeping girls

And laughing boys.

The kids enjoyed interacting with art.

And so did  I :-)

Looking up I found this.

And down...

From this point there is a grandiose viewover the coastline. Impossible to take a picture of. It is too majestic and too overwhelming

Same motive as last year. Just less water, a totally different light and another perspective and context

There will be more pictures from this years exhibition. But not today - I have a special idea for those.

2009
Here comes some of my favourites from last year.
 

 

The great sphinx, my absolute fav. I miss that big white landmark. It was like a lighthouse in the countryside

The man of letters - shining bright in the sunshine. Hollow and shallow but still a man.

I hope you get an idea why you should visit Pilane burialgrounds at Tjörn summer 2010.

A failure or "Impressionism" - trying to shoot a great picture

I have always wanted a red dress and just a few days before the bachatafestival I finally got THE dress. I wanted a picture and we tried just a few minutes before taking off into the snowstorm.

It didn´t turn out exactly as I had thought ...all pictures reminds me of something else than a Bachata party ...

Like the Danish impressionists - The Skagen Painters - and their portraits & interiors.

Like Anna Ancher's painting above or P.S  Krøyer

Or a painting made by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
but I cannot find exactly that one intended.
You know like the ones showing motion as well as a portrait.

(It looks just like the photographer was in a hurry too :)

Or like Luis Amer - a Spanish Artist

And here comes Shakespear´s "Taming of the shrew" (Så tuktas en arbigga)
or Scarlett O´Hara in "Gone with the wind"

No it wasn´t Krøyer, Toulouse-Lautrec or Anna Ancher.

It wasn´t even a photoshop filter.

Just my iPhone and poor light

And lack of time
