Most off the guys is there or in Malaga, so I might go for a quick few days to Malaga to.
Once again I´m sorry for the lack of post lately, just been swamped with work and have't had the energy to post anything for a while.

I'll post more stuff now, since more fun stuff will happend.

Shot some snowboard

2011-04-03T09:51:00.000-07:00

Went down to Ulricehamn to shoot next years Burton collection for the Burton store at Junkyard.se a few days ago.
The slope was closed, rain was pooring down and most of the models couldn't show up.
So it was me, Fredrik (my assistant), Chris Sörman (Burton rider) and his girlfriend.
The shoot went well and the photos will be shown in the beginning of the next snow season.

Chris Sörman

A moose ran into our car!

2011-03-26T09:50:00.000-07:00

On our way back to Stockholm last night we crashed into a moose, or should I say the moose crashed into us.
We were really lucky that the moose just hit our rear view mirror. If we would of hit the moose straight on it would of been a big crash since we were going at around 120 km/h.

Knock on wood!!!!

Grand opening of the new Junkyard store

2011-03-26T09:27:00.000-07:00

I have been in Trollhättan the last couple of days for the opening of Junkyards new store.

Had a few big prints in the store and I was happy to see them up finally.

After the opening we went bowling and drinking and ended up at the house for a ping pong tournament untill 5 in the morning after.

Prints!

More prints!

A big print!

Koffe next to a even bigger print of him self!

I will post the AD photo as soon as it get published in a week or two.

Fransson manage to get a snapshot of me shooting the photo below this one.

Finished photo...

Get your lenscap OFF!!!

2011-03-14T04:45:00.000-07:00

Ha ha, it's hard to shoot rangefinder as you don´t look thru your lens and can't see if the lenscap is on.

New build

2011-03-10T12:16:00.000-08:00

Finished this one off today, or almost anyway. Still sharing the rear wheel with another bike and I ned a riser with higher riser to put down the stem a bit.
Took a testride on it today and I must say it was really fun to ride, felt kind of like a toy somehow...

Blast from the Past!!!

2011-03-09T06:13:00.000-08:00

Phottix Atlas - First impressions

2011-01-12T08:04:00.000-08:00

Since my Pocket Wizards started living their own life I decided to get a set of new ones.

Tried a set of Phottix Atlas out this weekend and orderd a set that arrived today.
The feel of them is basicly the same as Pocket Wizards, same quality feel.
Probably made at the same factory, he he.
Also you get two cords one mini-plug to mini-plug and one mini-plug to PC with a screw ring, batterys, thing for hanging them on tripods/lenses etc.

The reasons I chose these over Pocket Wizards are as follows:

These are about half the price of the Pocket wizard.

Same range as Pocket Wizards.

They have the same frequency as the Pocket Wizard, and also work fine with them.
Same 4 channels.

They shoot 10 fps.

They sync on a 1/500 sec with leafshutter lenses, 1/250 on dslr cameras.

They have a hot-shoe on top of them so you don´t need any extra colshoes to connect you standard flash to your tripod.
This also makes it possible to shot with a Phottix Atlas on your camera and a Skyport connected to that.
(if you are shooting with Elinchrome rangers that have built in Skyport recevers and some other flashes)

I´ll try them out during the next trip to Barcelona and Malaga to see how they work out on the field.
More on that later.

Video days - 20 years later

Back from the holidays

2010-12-27T02:55:00.000-08:00

During the holidays I have been moving into my old appartment.
While looking throu everything I had to see what to get rid of, I saw this old record with Skelett (a classic Swedish skatepunk band) with me on the cover and back.
The photos were taken ca. -98-99 in my gandmothers appartment witch I rented at the time.
Funny thing is that on the cover you can see a peice of a portrait of Martin Karlsson who is the guy who took the photo.

Had alot of fun in that appartment, but I´m happy those days are in the past...

Barca Polaroids

2010-12-21T04:12:00.000-08:00

Not too expensive trick

2010-12-09T12:15:00.000-08:00

Today we ended up at the olympia stadium to get a shot at Anton, as we are going home tomorrow.
Luckily for us we had just got the trick done when the police came.
One ticket for Anton and one ticket for Björn. But it was only 15€ each and because I paid it with my creditcard straight away at the spot. So they got to keep their boards.

Now we are going down to Larsa for pancakes...

Anton with his ticket...

WTF!!!

Today Barcelona was warm

2010-12-06T11:55:00.000-08:00

Last couple of days have been cold and yesterday it was rain almost all day.
But today the sun was out and it was warmer, so we went to go to a spot this morning but ended up on the wrong train and started to walk to another spot.
On our way there we found a cool bank/manual to some weird wallride down (hard to explain) where Erik did a manual to bs ollie down the wallride.
Later when we got to the spot we got a nice photo of Koffe doing a fs nosebluntslide.

Erik looking for a lighter...
