I often shoot candid portraits. Either at events, or from a cafe table. Here are three recent ones that I like. The first one was funny. I noticed the smoking babe walking past the cafe, so I lifted the camera and started shooting. When she saw me I waved to her. She responded like a true celebrity and gave me the finger! You can see that photo if you press here. If you know anything about football you will recognise the guy on the second photo, although he is doing his best to stay incognito. It is Anders Limpar, one of Sweden's best ever players. I spotted him at a classic car meet earlier this summer. The third photo has a but if an illusion in it as it looks like the girl with the dog is about to collide with the cyclist, luckily that never happened. Oh, and before you say something, these are poladroids and not polaroids.

The first time I saw Annette was last summer. I was enjoying coffee and cake at Malmens cafe in Handen when I noticed her blue earrings and lifted the camera for a quick candid portrait. These days I see her a couple of times every week as she is now working at the cafe! She is mad about hats. She told me that she started wearing hats at the age of two. After I took this photo of her leaving the cafe yesterday afternoon she turned around and asked me if I would be interested in a hat photoshoot, sounds like an idea!

Walking down the path to the old tree yesterday I met Åke from Västerhaninge. He is into model planes and as we talked about this hobby of his he got the rc airplane up in the air in no time. I know nothing about this sport so it was interesting to hear some facts from Åke who had no problem manoeuvring the plane in all sorts of ways while explaining the facts to me.
Two Poladroid photos from two art exhibitions held at the Haninge Cultural Centre in Handen this spring. Back in March Fredrik Hofwander showed some of his art. Including this great pencil drawing of a doll house-sized Ultrahuset, a legendary punk music scene in Haninge back in the 1980s.
At the moment they are showing an installation by the Norwegian artist Tori Wrånes. It's all about The Belief of Human Electricity whatever that means. The installation includes the hammer hanging from the roof in front of these paintings/photographs and also a projection of photos showing the artist as she is working on the installation, and also this,(you will have to follow the link).

That old Suede song will work fine for today's poladroid photo as I attended a fashion show at the Haninge mall yesterday. All the models that participated were locals that had auditioned for their chance to appear on the catwalk. It was a crowded affair and impossible to get close enough for any really good photos of all the different models. The fun thing was that we saw both men and women and also one or two older models.
