Photo Exploration Of Mali… Continued
TweetThe photographic exploration of the West Africa nation of Mali continues with today's selection of nine images.

But beyond its wonderful music, it [...]
Colors Of Assam

An ongoing insurgency and under-development might be reasons enough to keep the less adventurous at bay, however the beauty of rural Assam is undeniable.

Sights of Udaipur, Rajasthan, India
Tweet As is the case in many parts of Rajasthan, brightly colored homes are common in Udaipur, a city of just over half a million inhabitants. Everywhere I looked, residential areas were densely packed. Great for that sense of community. Tweet
Daily Life On Mali’s Dogon Plateau
TweetIn the matrilineal society of the Dogon people - one of Mali's ethnic groups - the role of women is wide, varied and very busy: they harvest, care for children, weave and carry heavy loads. As I entered the village of Tireli in the heart of Dogon country, I came across a group of girls balancing heavy vessels [...]
The Endangered Mountain Gorillas
TweetThe mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) found in Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic republic of Congo are some of our closest cousins. Only about 2% of our genetic code is different than that of our peaceful, folivore relatives. I was fortunate to spend some time on the slopes of Mount Sabinyo, inside Rwanda's Volcanoes National [...]

Back from Africa
TweetMy two-month photographic exploration of eastern and western Africa has come to an end. As I reminisce and browse the many images, the feeling of incompleteness is great. Not so much because of a lack of worthy images but more with the realization that a proper exploration could take a lifetime, even when narrowing down [...]
Photos for Samoa
TweetThe heavy loss of life and a devastated tourism industry are the immediate consequences of the massive earthquake and tsunami which hit the Pacific island nation of Samoa on September 30, 2009. Samoa's recovery will be long and costly. To help, I am donating 100% of photographic prints sales proceeds of a selection of Samoa images, [...]
Back to blog!

The story goes like this: A paraplegic ex-marine war veteran is unwillingly sent to establish a human settlement [...]
Goodbye Snow, Hello Tui!
TweetAn overdue update. The last few days have been quintessential travel photography. Checking gear, packing gear, shooting, driving, two train rides and a series of long flights to the South Pacific. Following my last post, I spent a few days exploring Värmland, a swedish province known for its many lakes. Most of them are vast snow-covered, frozen [...]
Back In Sweden
TweetHej! I’m now back in Sundsvall (Medelpad, Sweden), a 1300 Km drive from where I last posted: Tromsø (Troms, Norway). See map below. It’s been a few days since the last blog post as internet access was sporadic and when available, a bit slow. This update will be a bit shorter than I anticpated as [...]
Driving Through An Arctic Storm
TweetStrong winds, lots of snow, severely reduced visibility, sinuous roads perched on fjords’ tops and two ferries. This was the program for today’s drive on the E6 from Øksfjord (Finnmark county) to the city of Tromsø (Troms county) in Norway. I had never driven in such conditions before. At times, visibility went from about 1.5km [...]
New Year Wishes From The Arctic Circle
Tweet2008 ended “in the dark”. The darkness of the arctic that is. The Finnmark region of northern Norway gets very little light at this time of the year. Despite the darkness, there is a magic feeling here. Everything is bathed by a surreal blue light; the result of a distant sun which always hides below [...]
