Previous entries from Malexander In Memory of Robert and Olle Photos: Malexander Cats, Bugs, and Flowers We’ll start with the foul picture. Just wanted to show you how my legs (in macro) looked after walking around waist deep for 20 minutes in the “non-swimming” area of Lillsjön in Malexander. But it was worth it, getting close to those wonderful water-lilies. And some more flowers from Birgittas backyard… #waterlilies #photo #water #flowers #roses

Have a great weekend! #fotosidan #photo #photos

I have been wanting to for a long time, but that time has just not allowed me yet – until now. Last weekend I went on my first photo meet, or gathering, or whatever you call it in English (fototräff in Swedish). I am a part of a photo communion called Fotosidan, and a dussin of us members got together to talk, take pictures, show photos, and share ideas about life in general. The gathering was arranged by myself and Lysa Öster, at who’s work place, the beautiful Biskops Arnö,

Family Column for Länstidningen, Södertälje, Sweden, 11 Feb 2009. Automatic translation of text SNACKA OM LADDAD! Att känna av effekten av positivt laddade protoner som möter en obalanserad dos av negativt laddade elektroner, det vet vi nog alla hur obehagligt det kan kännas. Att bli offer för statisk elektricitet är en minst sagt intressant erfarenhet. De senaste veckorna har jag gått och grubblat på vad det är för fel på mig, för överallt jag går så sprakar det loss ordentl

Family Column for Länstidningen, Södertälje, Sweden, 10 Dec 2008. Automatic translation of text TILLBAKS TILL ARLANDA Nyligen skrev jag om min resa till Arlanda tillsammans med äldste sonen, om hur vi tog lite bilder, och hur jag två gånger ”åkte fast” av samma väktare för att ha ställt bilen på olovlig plats. Jag hade inte föreställt mig att jag snart skulle återkomma till Arlanda för en fotosession, men omedelbart efter det att min krönika hade publicerats, så hörde några i

We have not had good summer weather in Sweden this year. So I tried to catch a warm, summer spirit by looking at some photos from when it was really nice and hot. I found these ones. They are actually from the end of May – so far the nicest part of the whole “summer”. One Saturday we took a walk in a huge park, kind of like a nature reserve, called Hjorthagen (The Deer Haven). It’s in Mariefred, close to where we live. A beautiful place. Have you thought about how clouds ofte

Det här inlägget är främst gjort för det underbara brudparet Elisabeth Angel och Erik Bruse och deras lika trevliga familj och vänner. Ett stort tack till er alla för en härlig dag, samt att jag fick vara med och ta lite bilder. Hoppas ni tycker om dem. De foton ni ser nu är i webformat, men skulle ni vilja ha högupplösta kopior så har Elisabeth och Erik fått dessa. Här följer några av mina egna favoriter. Samtliga bilder finner ni här nedan. Klicka bara på önskad länk. Stud

I wish it would have happened a bit later… in about… oh, I don’t know… 16, 17 years perhaps. But now it’s clear to me: Clara is in love. The recipient of her affection is a neighboring boy, Johan. As seen in the photos, Clara only has eyes for Johan. No matter how nice brother Isak tries to be to her, he just can’t seem to get her attention like he used to. The other day when Isak asked for a hug, she went straight to Johan instead. But I must say, Johan is really a good-hear

I’m trying to put together a folder of studio photos. Working in the studio is great fun, but unfortunately it’s a bit of a time consumer – and I don’t have much time. But here’s a start anyhow. Hopefully I’ll have a change to add some more photos… in the future. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge. #photo #Photography #studiophoto #portraits #photos

Dear friends! This is something new I want to try out: a monthly overview. The main objective of this “wrap-up” is to allow myself the chance to point out what posts have been most important to me, or most amusing, etc. Remember, however, this will be based on my personal opinion. (You might have another feel for the matter.) In addition I have added a few blog statistics. To me, these are unimportant, but I know some folks who just love them – especially the Americans 🙂 H

Our baby girl just turned two. As you can see, she’s had fun this year. 🙂 I’m just trying out this new gallery. Click on any thumbnail to make the image larger. You can even comment on each image (in the reply box). By the way, which is the cutest photo? I’ve got my own favorite. Let’s see if you feel the same. #gallery-405-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-405-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; }

Do you ever seize to be amazed? In India a baby girl, Lali, was born with two faces, a very rare condition knowns as craniofacial duplication. When I saw this photo I thought, “Oh no! Poor child. Poor family. How will they ever survive this enormous trail?” But then I read the article in the Chicago Tribune. I was simply awestruck. Instead of feeling “cursed” by God (or the gods), this family actually feels blessed, even believing the child to be the reincarnation of a Hindu

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

We came home to Södertälje today. It’s a five hour drive from the hospital in Göteborg. It was really good to walk through that front door again. We have been gone for exactly two weeks. Every bone in my body ached for my bed, feeling tired after the drive. I am used to driving for hours on end, but today I was worn out. And I know my wife felt the same. Physically, as well as mentally, it has been a non-stop roller coaster ride. Naturally, Johannes has been the one in the to

Get ready for lots of photos! Angelica and I have both asked Johannes and he thinks it’s okay to post these photos. We have a large family circle, and this is an easy way to let everyone see and know what’s been happening. I also know that Johannes’ friends and school mates would like to see some photos, since they have been thinking a lot about him. So here are some more images from last week. This is Wednesday Morning. At this ultrasound examination of Johannes’ heart, the

Continuation of Take Control (1): Be a Captain and Take Control (2): Be Good Today I just want to summarize my thoughts with two connecting ideas. When followed, I think they will be a huge factor of our progress, helping us get real control in life. Surround yourself with people that lift you up You need friends in life, friends who can support your dreams, friends who will love you and stick by you, despite your faults. We have to choose these friends carefully. Sometimes

Continuation of Take Control (1): Be a Captain So in which end do we start if we want to take control of our lives? How about with the following truth: We reap what we sow. I believe most people, deep down inside, want a life filled with goodness. Doing good, then, has to be our first task. Because when we strive to do good, good will be our reward. No matter what faith or conviction we might have in life, this is universally true: The first step in gaining control of our liv
