Take Control (1): Be the Captain

These are some thoughts I wrote down in September, but have not posted here until today: I never thought I’d say it: RIX FM (a commercial hit radio station) has given me inspiration! I was listening to the radio the other week, and I heard one of the DJ’s say that she neither smoked nor drank because this gave her the greatest sense of control. Then she challenged her listeners: “I want to tell everyone out there: Take control of your life!” Wow. How simple, yet profound. I l

Work, Patience, and Play-Doh

Louis: “Okay, Clara, are you ready to be creative? Clara: “You know it, dad!” Louis: “Alright, start by picking up that yellow knife.” Clara: “Are you sure, dad? You told me never to play with knives.” Louis: “Thanks, sweety, for listening to dad, but this one is made of plastic.” Clara: “Oh, fun! Then I can go like this!” Louis: “Well, I think it’s more useful in other ways…” Clara: “Ah, I see! Like this, perhaps?” Louis: “Uh…well.. maybe?” Johan

All These Artists

It took some time but I finally got around to completing the sets of photos I took at the Christmas Concert in Karlstad where I performed together with my brothers, and with all these artists seen below. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you, to have 3-4 different parts in the show, and then in between try to capture the rest of the crew on film. But I hope there are a few photos in here, at least, that you will enjoy. If you want to see some of my personal favorites from the show,

Good Days or Great Days?

The thought of the day comes from Lance Armstrong: “I take nothing for granted. I now have only good days or great days.” I like that approach. Perhaps the choices we have are not between good or bad, but between good and great. In other words, with a positive outlook my life will always be good, and with some extra effort it can even be great. I took this photo an early autumn morning. The sun is just rising, casting its rays on the water and the birch trees. I remember this

Young Photographer

Found this picture in my files. I had myself a great laugh. It comes from an old music and teen magazine, OKEJ. I had forgotten that this shot was taken, so it was a positive surprise. I was seventeen at the time and had just won the Eurovision Song Contest with my brothers in 1984. I was young and cute then. Now I am just cute… The picture is meant to show one of my hobbies back then. Who could think photography would still be such a big part of my life. The camera wasn’t m

A Real Christmas Card

I know I posted a different Christmas card earlier, but I (and the family) can’t help sending this second one (with a photo by courtesy of the Nativity Story, a motion picture from 2006). To me this photo is amazing. I am filled with so many thoughts and emotions when looking at it. I don’t even know where to start – so just feast your eyes on it and let yourself go. In the past weeks I have met many people in different circumstances. Most of them are more or less stressed by

A Different Christmas Card

Just want to send to all my friends a different Christmas card this year. We decided to have some fun in the studio (and in Photoshop). Hope you enjoy it! But most importantly, I hope you enjoy your Holiday Season. And please, don’t forget to do some good out there. There may be someone just around the corner who stand in need of your love and service – today! God bless you!

Loosing Agnes, Gaining Love

A week ago we lost one of our oldest, but dearest members of our congregation, Agnes Traviss. Yesterday her funeral was held. Until my release two months ago, I had been her bishop for several years. I had truly enjoyed her company. She always wore that gleaming smile on her face that would make you forget your own worries for a moment. Often when I looked at her from the stand I thought about her life as a single woman, struggling to get by. She had had many reason to compla

For the Endowments of Life

Last week I attended a CES Conference. At one point a friend and colleague gave all the participants a few minutes to write a personal psalm. I’m not a poet, I know, but I was still glad to have a few solitary moments to clear the world from my mind and write these words of gratitude. For the wonders of the earth, I adore Thee For the light in heaven, I see Thee For the glories of thy creations, I admire Thee For the blessing of family, I honor Thee For the companionship

Big Pictures and Sacrifices

I had a tricky lesson recently. The text was taken from the first half of Leviticus (Old Testament), and dealt a great deal with the sacrificial offerings the Israelites were commanded to perform. Understandably, some of the students were… how shall we put it… a bit nauseated by the description of these offerings; blood sprinkled on the altar and intestines being cleaned, etc, didn’t appeal to all students. For these reasons I tried to minimize those part, so as not to gear o

Repairing My Son’s Heart (2): Hospital Queen

When our oldest son was in the hospital for his heart surgery (see Repairing My Son’s Heart), my wife and I took turns looking after our baby girl. It turned out, however, that she was looking out for herself most of the time, prancing around the place as if she owned it. First thing she grabbed the stroller and ran, yes ran with it across the hallways. Then she grabbed a nurse and forced her onto the floor to play. I actually think the nurse was happy to have a little break.

Giving is Better than Receiving

Giving is better than receiving. That’s at least what my daughter thought when we tried to take her picture, luring her with some candy from the side lines. You see what her eyes are saying, don’t you? If you just GIVE me some of that candy YOU will feel a lot better… and I will scream a lot less! And so it was. Just think of all the wonderful things life teaches you. Louis #Giving #babies #Inspiration #christianity #hands #photo #Truthfindingthe #sayings #Photography #christ

How Is Your Conscience Today?

Recently I was out walking with my baby girl. When we entered our favorite forest path, she rapidly nodded off to sleep as the carriage softly swayed back and forth. Lucky me, I thought, time for a photo shoot. It was a beautiful day and I had my camera ready with a 100mm macro lens. I enjoy the forest immensely. There is a special feeling there that I can’t put my finger on. This is the first image a took (arranged a little in Lightroom) At the edge of the forest we reached

Show Your True Colors

I was captured by some autumn motives today. This is one of them. When I saw this yellow tree I got what may seem to be a silly thought, but nonetheless… How does that birch tree feel? I mean, she stands there showing her bright colors, in the middle of everything, sticking out from the rest? Does she feel out of place? No. It can’t be. Just look at her! See how she stretches towards the sky, how she waves to us with her beautiful color, projecting her branches for all to see

Have I Messed Up My Kids?

“Dad, do you always have to bring that camera?” Haven’t I heard those words a thousand times? “Yes, my son, I do!” I said patronisingly, “and one day you’ll thank me for doing you this favor! Just get up there and enjoy yourself!” Both of my sons knew the drill. When dad takes up that big lens, that’s the signal. We were at Church, with all of the Primary (“Sunday school”) children practicing for their annual presentation at worship service. My boys got up on the stand with t
