Here is a photo story from the other week. Johannes loves anything that’s got to do with airplanes and airports. Knowing that, I have suggested a few times that we go to Arlanda airport, north of Stockholm, just to stroll around and maybe take some photos. (I also knew he needed some time away from home, so he could train more on his injured foot.) He loved that idea. So, one late afternoon we finally went ahead with our plans. It was a strange weather day. When we drove to t

I know that Easter is over, but I just have on last thought about these past days. Whenever Christmas or Easter comes around there is always so much going on… but so little pointing to Jesus Christ, who is (believe it or not) the main reason for these celebrations. I always say that there is so little Christ in Christmas. I’m starting to feel the same way about Easter. For example, when I searched through the TV guide for programs of Jesus, religion or spirituality, I think

Couldn’t let they day go by without publicly congratulating my wife, Angelica, who turned 35 today. She doesn’t like publicity (and that’s putting it mildly) so I’ll just summarize and say that she is without a doubt a remarkable woman, and I thank God for letting me experience life at here side. But in this picture, it’s not me at her side, but Johannes. I thought it was fitting, seeing how much love and support he has received from her lately. #birthday #mother #photo #moth

Clara fell asleep on the cough today, something she seldom does. I just had to take out the camera. What a beauty. Just hold it still for a second… Click! Oops, she turned. The shutter is making too much noice in this quiet room. Just one more shot… CLICK! Ooops! Again. #photo #cute #sleep #mormon #Photography #lds #Children #images

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,

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!

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

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

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

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. 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

Took this shot in August, but wanted to share it today. The recemblance was just great, I thought. But I can’t decide… who has the best hair style? Have a great day!

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

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
