Little Boxes. I really liked the mix of architecture in houses in Stockholm. It ranged greatly but my favorites where all the boxy ones. I spotted this group of boxes from the Tunnelbana. When I saw them I was really into how every home was the same box one after the other. Later when I was setting up to take another photo up the street a bit, the owner of the home I was framing up came out and talked to me and asked me if I’d be interested in buying their home. It was such a surprise.
Night Colors. Another thing I really love about night photography is the color of the sky. I can never guess what it’s color will be. It seems that film picks up a lot more color my eye can’t see over the length of a long night exposure. It always makes it that much more interesting to pick up my negatives from the lab. I would have never guessed that I’d get a lavender sky when I took this shot. Walking at night in Stockholm.
Light Colors. I really like night photography because of the color cast from lights and how those colors change the surroundings. I thought this place was really interesting because of the mix of light colors on the building and the perfect alignment of the windows. Walking at night in Stockholm.
Always on Foot. For the last 12 years now I’ve not had a car and either use public transportation, carpool, ride my skateboard, bike or just walk. I tend to walk the most though. Because of this I find it really fun to ride public transportation in places I visit. I also find it really interesting to pass gas stations and see how similar or different they might be to ones I see at home. I took this photo because I really liked the red in the gas station and the yellow car and how they stood out in the scene. Also, I really loved the viking ship logo too.
Under Construction. I thought this images was fitting for a first posting of the year as I have a lot of projects underway and look forward to posting about them in the coming days, weeks and rest of the year. I took this photo on one of my ‘ride the train as far out as I can and get off in a random place’ outings in Stockholm. I really liked all the different colors set against the snow and how brightly the yellows stood out too.
