Ladies with skull-balloons

Joannas ballons made me think of this photo from the opening of the new exhibition of pre-history at Historiska museet in Stockholm

Conversation with lady in leopard

Just like a runaway with no esace zone.You'd think i'd find a way you'd think i'd fake one.But all my life's been filled with wanton tragedy.So just for heaven's sake i'll try to face this.It's just a chance you take to get a last kiss.So sexy, sexy babe you know i need some.To pass the time away to get relief from.All this life that's filled with wanton tragedy.Where's my angels i'm a naked soul...
"angels" - the tea party
i believe there are no angels to photograph. around us are just a tiny, happy and absurd things to save :)

Betty wasn't an angel.

A love story, maybe.

invited guest: Andrzej Jakubowski

Several years ago, when I started my adventure with photography on of Polish portals I met a group of people who's work went straight to my heart. Andrzej "Frog" Jakubowski was one of them. My personal approach and reception of photograpy have changed, Andrzej's photography has changed, but what he made and what his making now still makes me think, that is what is really about (for me) in photography.

You can understand better what I mean thanks to Andrzej's words about his philosophy of photographing:
The biggest prize is when someone comes back some time later to see your photograph, when someone looks at it over and over again, when your snaps makes someone stop for a moment. I want to show everyday life, I want to show things I can see around me. People and the world around them. A little bit of form and a little bit of emotions. A simple story.

It's worth to mention that Andrzej is one of the pillars of "już późno" group with Joanna Kinowska, Artur Allan Willmann and Michał Macioszczyk.

From the zoo in Berlin

I saw Jonas' and Markus' pictures from the Berlin zoo and I felt I wanted to show you what I saw there aswell. Here is my elephant and my giraffe

the existence of angels

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true

The Embrace

Where looking through some old negatives and found this image. A friend from Spain wanted me to perpetuate her tattoo as i did in a little series. Here is one, taken 1998 in Barcelona.

Rest your wings

I'm staying with the angels for a little longer

Invited guest: Jonas Andersson

Jonas and I went to the Berlin Zoo one day. While I was looking for Lutz Heck, Jonas made some lovely photographs. I tried too but all I got was some lousy photos from a zoo but Jonas managed to get something more out of it. Enjoy!

It happens quite often that I fall in love with a moment or a person or
a form or whatever in a photograph. In this case it is the person and
the moment. Marion Greenwood is leading me back to Mexico once
more. See postings about "the man from Szeged" "Manuel Bravo" or
have a look at pictures by our guest Cristina Kahlo Alcal.
Read also this interview with Marion Greenwood.

Now I am only waiting for Anders to post his series from Mexico.
