If there was no nature, the earth would stop existing.

I have always been drawn to nature, regardless if it is a deep forest or just a tree in the yard. I am convinced that nature speaks to us, if only we choose to listen. My interest in photos started when I was a child, a photo from passed times puts us in that moment, in that spot, right then.

I believe that pictures can wake up memories but also create memories.

My own photography has evolved over the years. From the beginning as I borrowed my parents camera with a film roll and development at the store down-town until today when I enjoy all the possibilities offered by a digital camera. I am mainly self-taught, but have taken a shorter class in picture composition that gave me some aha moments. I have been learning by doing and reading of the functionality of the camera.

I always try to bring my camera on trips, and I love taking small trips in my garden using my macro objective that opens up a brand new world.

My pictures are often packed with color and I love it when they are a bit mystic.

I was born and raised in beautiful Skellefteå, Västerbotten, and moved at 21 to live in Europe for a few years before I settled in the Småland soil. Now I live in Diö with its beautiful beech woods and wonderful surroundings. A beautiful part of the world.
