This is Emmy Thelberg. I spotted her in Handen on Saturday and decided that it was time for an impromptu photo shoot. Emmy used to be a world class MTB racer but decided to change to road bicycle racing this year. And in her first season as a road racing cyclist she has already made it to the Swedish national team! She has had a great season and is now getting ready for the next one. Emmy is planning to join a Belgian team to achieve her next big goal which is to be a world class cyclist two years from now. Emmy is also a student who sometime next year will be a licensed dentist.

This is Elin Ulfsdotter. She runs a business called Matriarkattens Hantverk. A play with words that would be tricky to translate. Elin makes hand woven ribbons. I met her at the Viking festival in Handen over the weekend.

This is Miss Marla Kay. She was NOT part of the Pin-up girl contest at the Classic Cars and Customs meet at Sundby Gård. And why is that I hear you ask? Because she organized the contest, and to be true had she entered she would probably have won the thing hands down. She looked a bit different from last year and I noticed that she had a new tattoo so I had to zoom in on that with the canon. Oh, and funny story here. The day after the event I was sipping coffee at my favorite cafe Malmens konditori in Handen when Miss marla Kay and her boyfriend walked in, small world as she put it!

Just like last year there was a pin-up girl contest at the Classic Car and Customs event at Sundby Gård. The girls looked very good, fitting in perfectly with the many cars from that bygone era. This is Miss Susan. She was the winner of the peoples choice award.

Summer returned and with it my lust for street portraits. I was enjoying a light lunch (two hot dogs), when a girl walked past where I was sitting. A couple of minutes later I spotted her from the bike and decided to ask her for a portrait. This is Jonna. Originally from up North, she grew up in Sundsvall Jonna lives in Haninge these days. She works at an insurance company. One of her big hobbies is music. She enjoyes Indie Rock and tries to go to as many festivals as she can.

Funny story here. I noticed this girl all dressed in white as she disappeared into a grocery store in Handen and figured I needed to take her photo. So I approach her when she comes out from the store. First thing she says to me is that she doesn't like having her photo taken. Second thing that she never looks good when photographed. So I obviously had to prove her wrong! After the photos I ask her a few questions (she works as an electrician, family business), and when the tells me that her name is Catlin I recognize her from when we met five years ago! You can see her on the second photo of that post if you press here.
