somewhere...
Somewhere between here and there, somewhere between now and then...Not much of an image...rather a sense of an image. Like something you just catch a glimpse of...like seeing something in the corner of the eye...
and try catching it.

Can't stop won't stop
Just want to put in a plug for a great book I'm reading right now...
Can't Stop Won't Stop - A history of the Hip Hop Generation, a must-read for all of us (youngsters?), whether we listen to Hip hop or not. An interesting perspective on the period from the the 70s up until commercial Hip hop of the 2000+.
The Swedish translation is not the best, but it is interesting reading and some good photos in there as well. Currently I'm visiting Jamaica in the early prehistoric roots to the scratching.

Guest: Lina "Umma Liten" Nääs
The act of love
The fiddler
Cry me a riverFirst known to me as Umma Liten, I immediately liked the photographic expression of her. Line Nääs, as her real name is, has a special feeling to her photos. She is a favourite photographer of mine. I'm happy to present her here at the F blogg. Take a look at her further photos here or at her homepage.

Super 8 mm: "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated"
I was watching the telly the other night and was informed that Super 8 mm film is all gone in Europe. Really? When I checked this out a bit more, it all came down that Kodachrome is not processed anymore in Switzerland. From now on you need to send the Kodachrome film to the US. So the Super-8 is not dead after all: To be more precise: The amateur film has gone professional. The special look is highly sought by commercial makers but also by directors that strive to evoke a period or to give a different look to scenes.
I was brought up with 8 mm films and when I heard the sound of the projector, I knew there was some quality time ahead, three minutes 
of fun (that's one cartridge of film). That was before the two-hour video films replaced the well directed three-minute stories. Today, I use a digital video camera to cover some of the family events. Despite the digital convenience, I bring out the Super 8 camera and capture some events once in a while. Because that special atmosphere it captures is something I want to pass on to the next generation in my family. Kodachrome may be gone but the Big Yellow has more on the shelf.

Taking care of the plants
photo: Hans Åström / abekuTalking about family photography: I was lucky having an uncle who was fond of taking pictures. Nothing fancy about his equipment, a Zeiss Contina, a light bulb flash and a Kodak Carousel slide projector, simple and reliable gear. I'm very fond of the casual situations he captured once in a while among all the other traditional birthday and christmas photos. Here's my grandfather taking care of the plants. A photo from the late 50's.
Too emotional?
But isn't the problem to separate your own emotions from the subject? Is this a good photo, I haven't got a clue. It means a lot to me personally, but is this just in my own perspective?
How to know whether 'you succeed in creating a photo that transcends the circumstances of its origin' is difficult when the photo touches your self. On the other hand, if the photo doesn't mean anything to you, how can it be a good photo then?
