Swedish spring is amazing. It starts somewhere in March if we’re lucky and goes all the way until the end of May if summer isn’t early… Every week there are some new spring flowers popping up through the ground, making me smile.

Taking photos is a big part of a creative life, as it can be used both as documenting, finding inspiration, memory keeping and an art form within itself.
Photography has been a constant in my life for a long, long time. I love to document what I see and feel, how I look and what I create. I also enjoy sharing my photography efforts here on my blog, and via the photo site Flickr and Instagram.
My camera is a Nikon d5200. I also use an Ixus & my smart phone (android at the moment).
Dear Photo Diary | Another Year has gone by
Dear Photo Diary, I have been making videos at my desk, for my YouTube channel, but I have not been taking a lot of photos. It’s just been that kind of year I guess. Who else feels that it’s been a bad year for photography? I think it’s time to restart the habit of taking […]
Idea: Create a Video Journal with One Second a day
The app One Second Everyday is a free app that you download to your smart phone and use to document your days in video format. Since all you’ve got to do is film one second it isn’t’ too hard to get started and remember to press record. At the end of the month (or year) […]
Dear Photo Diary | Our Magnolia Tree
If people did not love one another, I really don’t see what use there would be in having any spring.Victor Hugo Dear Photo Diary, sorry it’s been a while. I haven’t taken a lot of photos with my big camera lately. Life is at a stand still, not just for me, but for much of […]

You get better. Steve Southerland Dear Photo Diary, I am sorry that I have ignored you for so long. It […]
My First Art Vlog: Yayoi Kusama in Stockholm

But first a little bit about the artist Yayoi Kusama… Yayoi Kusama and her polka dots Yayoi Kusama is a internationally well-known and very much […]
Dear Photo Diary | Summer Reading & Groot
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. Henry Ford Dear Photo Diary I am not taking as many photos with my big girl camera anymore, because of phone. It feels sad looking back, so sometimes I pull myself together and take some […]
Dear Photo Diary | Newness in the air
The month of May has been divided into two very intense parts: beautiful weather that draws me outdoors, away from the computer and blogging, and heavy computer work time that also has drawn me away from social media and writing blog posts. But today I (almost) finished one of my articles, and while the sun […]
Dear Photo Diary | Pink Polka Dots
Since I’m still not one hundred percent well after the flu, I haven’t made any new collages and feel way behind. I think I’m the only one not posting to the hashtag #365somethings2018 on Instagram, and I invented the thing! Gah! But I digress. I’m trying to go through older photos on the computer, and […]
A Box of Papers and autumn in Sweden
It’s autumn in Sweden. Well actually, today we are going into Winter Time, setting our clocks back an hour to get more lights in the mornings… But where I am we haven’t had any snow yet, so I’m enjoying the autumn still, as best I can. I do not like how early it gets dark […]
Summer is my favorite season
I haven’t been blogging much lately, and I’d like to (at least partly) blame the Swedish Summer for that… I love that Sweden has four glorious and specific seasons. I love all these different seasons, because they signify change and movement. But I must say I think that Swedish Summer is my favorite season. And […]
