The BBQ Chef

During the Hanami festivities we enjoyed many different kinds of Japanese street food. This BBQ chef let me take his picture. Well, I didn't actually ask his permission, but he didn't seem to mind...

Going to the market

A colleague and I were on a road trip in Japan a decade and a half ago. One of the stops were in Takayama, a city in Gifu. One morning we took a stroll to the market and I found these really nice handmade wooden cufflinks. I'm not sure if I asked her if I could take her picture, but she didn't seem to mind.

In the Treetops

This shot is from a visit to Sri Lanka more than a decade ago. As you probably can tell from the angle, this guy is pretty high up in the treetops. I really hope he has a safety line! But I doubt it...

Fisherman at work

This photo is from long ago when I visited Sri Lanka. When traveling along the coast we saw fishermen sitting on poles a few meters out in the water. It didn't look very comfy if you ask me...

Fishermen at work

This shot is taken with a little pocket camera a few years before I bought my first DSLR. When we traveled along the coast on Sri Lanka we saw these fishermen sitting on these poles a few meters out in the water. It didn't look comfortable at all...

Evening bath

It was a sunny early summer evening. The air was warm and the water was... well, the water was quite cold actually. That didn't stop my little girl though. She wanted an evening bath before sunset. Luckily I didn't need to join her in the water. I mean, I couldn't. I was holding the camera... :)

Colorful Couple

It was a hot day in the middle of the summer. Me and a friend of mine were on a photowalk in Stockholm. It felt like we went all over town that day. At least we walked over 20 000 steps that day. At one point we saw this colorful couple. They looked so cool, so we just had to take their picture in the shade of an alley.

Those Shades!

I try to improve my street photo skills whenever I get the opportunity. On this summer day I was on a photowalk with a good friend in the capital. I saw this cool girl with a pair of really cool shades. I'm not sure, but it looks like she saw me taking her picture. She doesn't seem to mind though.

Going somewhere?

Commuting is sometimes like a reflection of life. Sometimes it's tedious and slow. Sometimes it goes so fast that you cannot keep up. It has its ups and its downs. Sometimes it's colorful and sometimes just in different shades of gray...

Colorful chopsticks

It was very hot and humid when we visited Chinatown in Singapore. But it was worth a visit. On a sidestreet we found this little shop, among other things. It was quite colorful and when our kids saw the vibrant chopsticks right there in the middle we just had to take a step inside. :)

The Taxi Driver

In Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, it was not very expensive to book a taxi for a few hours. It makes the sightseeing quite easy and it gives you the opportunity to meet interesting people. This is our taxi driver and I just love how colorful he is. He was a nice guy too.

Kid on fire!

On Koh Lanta we were lucky to enjoy this fire show. One of the performers was this kid. Ok, he looks a bit like a blurry ghost now, but that's just due to the long exposure. I can assure you that he was very much alive. And very talented!

Spin the Fire!

I found it mesmerizing to watch this blazing show. Their burning sticks were spinning around, around, around and the only thing that kept me from being totally hypnotized was my fear that one of them would get burned by the fire.

Crowded

To me it seems a bit crowded, but I guess it's all right. I wouldn't wanna be one of the guys on the back row though...

Crowded

How many people can you fit on a scooter before it's too crowded? I guess that depends on the scooter... and the people too I suppose.

High Tech Toy

My kids often want to play with my iPhone or iPad. And they use them as if it was the most natural thing in the world. And perhaps it is for the kids of today. This is one of the many quick photos I took when traveling in Thailand. I just thought he looked cool when he was so focused on his high tech toy.

Cool Mom!

In the beginning of summer, I had the privilege to visit a private music festival. The music was great, the beer delicious and the people were awesome. I saw this mom and thought she looked cool.
