let's splash some paint

Long time no see

Is there anybody in there?

geranium

that big!

she's defenitely showing some kind of size. but any idea of what and which?

Stepping out of the looking glass

It looks like we haven't been anywhere at all!

Not only from a geological point of view...

The absence has been just a flicker, not only from a geological point of view but also from an archaeological. By the way, you can follow the excavation of the city "Nya Lödöse" through my photos on their flickrpage.

Or lay down again?

The post would not appear on its own, they need Fbloggers to put them there. Courage! 

Let's greet Mr Vermeer!

Let's greet Mr Vermeer! The irresistible light, you simply can't miss, right?

The Magpie Depicts the Crow

During the last two years I've started experimenting with Wet Plate Collodion photography together with the photographers Anna Edlund and Henning Klasen. 

For about a year Anna and I have been taking portraits of people living and working in an area of Mölndal known as "the Crow" where we have a studio called Studio Skatan (Skata is swedish for Magpie), hence the name "The Magpie Depicts the Crow". All the photos are made together as a joint effort between Anna and me, one handling the camera and one the darkroom and vice versa.

If you're in Mölndal you can see the photos until sun 24 june at an exhibition in Galleri Forscaféet at Mölndals Museum. If not, you can see some of them here on the FBlog 

don't mess with texas

Series "Don't mess with Texas" by two Polish photographers Michał Jędrzejowski and Tomasz Liboska touches almost unknown and almost forgotten part of Polish history, well, specificly Silesian history, showing to the daylight descendads of Silesian emigrants living today in Texas in cities with Polish names, like Panna Maria (Virgin Mary). 

We set off to Texas in 2009, 155 years after the first wave of the Silesian exile. We came to the Panna Maria – the first Polish parish on the American mainland. We visited homes, schools, churches and bars. We were looking for Moczygęba, Labus, and Janysk. We found Texans: jeans, cowboy boots, Republican views and the all-pervasive “Don’t Mess with Texas”. We learned their stories, and heard tales ancient and modern of the homeland. Each one is a multigenerational saga interwoven with sorrow, but also a sense of joy and fulfillment. Among our heroes there are farmers, businessmen, clergymen, musicians, and writers. Who are the descendants of the Silesian pioneers today? We couldn’t find an answer. We don’t need one.

Michał Jędrzejowski, Tomasz Liboska
