This morning I was awaken by my long gone room mate who has been living out in the archipelago all summer. He was riding a pickup and was coming by to start cleaning and moving his bed. So now it´s on, goodbye Skanstull. I have no idea where I am going. Stockholm is not made for me, but it´ll work out. These are more pictures from the strange place I have staying at since april.

Autumn came yesterday, It´s all right now I can bury myself at home with my computer and work with my pictures. Autumn seems nice, except well I don´t have a home. Started looking at ads yesterday because the only way to get a home is by borrowing millions. In the meantime I'll just live in my brothers kitchen. Beeing homeless get´s in the way of everything. It's a frustration you can't do anything romantic about, you end up dreaming about everyday luxurys and becoming an adult.

This is sort of a goodbye to my contemporary home in Skanstull. I have no idea of what I think about that place. It was a bit scary and rather disgusting. Decadence had grown into the walls. But living in the middle of the city is worth it, all the spontanious partys and skateboarding. More pictures will be added as i fix my external harddrive.

It is now august and I am actually feeling very positive to the coming fall. The summer vibes never came so the best thing to do is to start rounding up this summer. As photos and all cultures are products of what experienced and said and therefore changeable to moods different to each day this contribution will be positive. This day is a good day so I went through some pictures from the partying in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago. There are more from that weekend to come! this is just a tidbit.

I think my whole life this summer has revolved around Trädgården, and I like it. This a bike me and Johan pimped. Robert made the cloth flowers. Ths bike is from SSON and a lucky winner this thursday when Trädgården hosts a party for Sharp will get the bike.

I still haven't gone through all my pictures but I have been out taking lots of them. Last weekend i was the house photographer at Trädgården. The photography business that I have with the barmanager there have during the whole summer been testing new photographers and presenting two pictures each week. Pictures from all summer will be presented at an exhibition at the end of the Trädgården season. So much great stuff and I am so happy that the photographers have really been treating it as an art project. Well it was my turn last Saturday and this is what i got. All of the pictures can be seen at tradgarden.com.

After that weekend I fled the city and me and my sister went to our country house. It was needed, and I managed to take some pictures also. I usually go around in the forest with my tripod taking pictures of myself but that is another story I will share soon.

Since my last update I have finished the last issue och the Trädgården paper that is to be seen here: http://www.vidvinkel.net/tradgarden3_webb.pdf

I've also had two crazy weeks, one i Copenhagen spent on bikes and in Bars with my friend Robert, and one in the archepelago of Stockholm with most of the staff from Trädgården. This has resulted in hundreds of pictures wich will require that I lock myself in for weeks. But it´s summer so I try to spend as mant hours as possible on my skateboard.

Well i don´t like to apologize, or have a reason to. Heres two pictures in the meantime, first one is Jacob having some folköl by his apartment six in the morning after we finished working on Trädgården. The next one is an ad we posted in our magazine for Trädgården, all for free of course. It´s alright, we managed not to end up in debts, but without salary.

Yesterday was an eventfull day. We had an intense photosession with almost the whole vidvinkel.net crew, taking pictures for the August issue of the Trädgården paper. A club magazine we produce for Stockholms largest out door club. Written in Swedish, you can check out the pdfs of the two latest issues here:

Yesterday was also the day I intervued the former host of the swedish film review television show Filmkrönikan Orvar Säfström for the same magazine. I usually record my interviews on my cell phone because you can easily move the file to your computer and switch between programs while writing the intrerview down. While retrieving this file i rediscovered an old love. The cell phone camera is the new nostalgic retro but in the same time delightfully contemporary. It's so easy to capture special moments and you don't have to carry the whole photographer role.

These are some randome pictures from this spring, all in black and white because the noise in the pictures work better that way and i can't manage to make my camera take pictures that aren´t all grey already. When i first got the phone they were all right. But i actually like black and white pictures more and more since I started using my dads old analog camera. The lack of color inhances the documentary feel of there spontanious pictures.
