A very special picture for me – to Ola

I guess this blog post is as personal as it gets, but at the same time this blog is about “life in general” so I’ve decided to share some thoughts around a personal subject.

Since I’m going to Piteå in a short period of time; a trip that I’m really looking forward to, this will be the first time in winter since last christmas and I guess there will be memories from last years visit. Last christmas was a really odd one. My foster-brother, Ola, that lived with our family during my whole up-bringing passed away on the evening of the 23:rd of December.

Jul i Piteå

This picture was taken the next morning, in the morning of Christmas eve. At that moment, when the picture was taken, we still hadn’t got the message.

The morning was really chilly and calm, and in many ways respectful of what we didn’t know at that stage. Now, 10 months later I guess this picture means a lot more than just trying out a new camera that was the main purpose for this picture.

My brother lived in the southern parts of Sweden, and I guess we hadn’t spoken nearly as much as we should’ve done, but last year (in 2010) that changed, and we had started to make some plans together. Not big plans, but nice small ones. Ola had been ill in the winter/spring of 2010, but we all thought that he now would fully recover. Our plans came to a sudden end during the christmas Holliday… Will never forget when my father answered the phone and I instantly could feel what’ve happened.

I’m really proud of my brother. He made a remarkable life journey both in his private life as in his carrier and in many ways he could be a role model for many others. When Ola was in the middle of “högstadiet” (between middle school and high school in US) his grades were really poor (around 1 in Swedish terms) and he struggled in many parts of life, and the future, to be honest didn’t look that great but one day my mother and Ola made a deal.

My mom asked

– Ola, do you want to stay home from school for two days?

and you can guess what the instant answer was? 🙂

– Of course!!”, he said with a big smile!

My mother replied:

– Ok, you can call in sick but you have to do one thing during the days you stay at home, and that is to study for the test that you will have a few days from now.

Ola thought that this deal was great! And I can imagine that it was a great feeling that a parent told you to call in sick… so he stayed home, listened to his KISS-albums, but he kept his promise, he studied!

When the test results came back Ola had the best score in his whole class, and he was proud, he suddenly felt as if he was as good as anyone else, and this wasn’t so hard! This was a big day of change for him in his school work, and I guess in his overall life. When he left high school he had 11 (I think it was out of 13 or 14) 5:s (grade A+ internationally) and the rest was 4:s (like grade A:s).

I have so many stories about Ola; like the first time when he was baby sitting for me and my sister and mixed cinnamon with cocoa and made us, in a strong bossy style, drink half a litre of that brew, not listening to our loud childish complaints. A horrifying moment at that time but afterwards a great laugh, and all about young minds.

After finishing school and he had left his national services behind, he then after a few years of work in the paving industry, started his own firm in the same branch. A firm that got really successful.

After some time he also met his wife and started a family. A family that I know he loved above all.

With love and respect

Winter is arriving

For the last few days I’ve been staying at home with a terrible cold (second in a month time – guess I’ll better start putting clothes on when I’m going out). Here in Sweden the winter is slowly arriving and in the northern part it’s already there.

On the “other side” of winter you have; spring.

This photo was taken during a short vacation in Spain with some friends. We had played golf in the morning and having lunch before our next round in the afternoon. Suddenly a bird landed on our table and starting eating bread, and since the table was sharp as a mirror I thought it could be a nice photo if I could grab the bird when it flew away.

So I put my camera on “speed-shooting”, set my focus on the table and waited just a few seconds. …And I got him!

Trolleri på Magic Bar

Förra veckan var det dags för konferens med ena delen av firman. Efter att ha svettats i ett konferensrum hela dagen avslutade vi med middag på Magic Bar som är ett riktigt skönt koncept som går ut på att en illusionist / trollkarl går runt och showar vid borden. Att se trolleri / illusioner på så nära håll gör en bitvis rejält irriterad.. “DET DÄR GÅR JU INTE!”… “HUR I H-VETE GÖR HAN?!”!!?!

Klippet längst ner är från första gången som “magikern” kom till bordet… och bilden här under är från det avslutande tricket där trollkarlen blåser upp en ballong, tar min telefon, lägger den mot ballongen, och en sekund senare såg det ut så här! Allt mitt framför ögonen på oss. Om ni inte provat Magic Bar tidigare och letar efter ett bra event till daten, firmafesten osv är det en riktig höjdare (…och nej, jag har ingen deal med, och känner ingen personligen på Magic Bar 🙂 ).

P.S Notera min livrädda röst när magikern frågar om jag filmar. 😉 D.S

New menu

As this blog continue to grow it get’s harder to find all the material so I’ve started a little reorganisation that I hope can help. I’ve added some new categories like Photography -> tips & tricks, to keep all those links together. At some points I also post in Swedish and that material is found under, exactly, Swedish 🙂

I will be all set with the new system later on tonight.

I hope you’ll have a great start of the week!

This is one of the coolest flying machines I’ve ever seen. Can think of so many situations when this could be helpful, but I guess the military will be first in using it, as always.

Looks amazing!

Piteå

In a few weeks time I will visit my home town, Piteå for a family visit. These occasions are always a great get away from my daily business. In Piteå everything goes in half the pace and you take more time to think and reflect while you’re there.

This visit I will also do a photo project with a time lapse of Piteå river. Keep your fingers crossed for great weather.

This is a pic I took in Piteå during my summer holiday.

Hope you have a great finish of your weekend

iPhone used at some parts of the movie “The Avengers”!

As some of you have found out I’m a quite heavy user of using my phone as a camera, but this was a true surprise. Seamus McGarvey, the man behind the movie “The Avengers” now reveals that some shots in the movie actually was made with… an Iphone!

När elden känns som en befriare…

Sorry for writing this in Swedish. Auto-translated version at the end of the post…

När självmord är en bättre väg än att följa en myndighets beslut måste vi erkänna att Sverige misslyckats.

Den här veckan har för mig präglats av händelserna kring Ganna, den gamla kvinnan som Migrationsverket inte ville tillåta att stanna kvar här i Sverige utan skickas tillbaka till sitt hemland; trots hennes ålder och tillstånd. Händelsen har under veckan påmint mig om en av mina starkare upplevelser i livet, en händelse som jag aldrig kommer glömma.

Det här hände för cirka sex år sedan. Jag och min dåvarande sambo hade varit på bio och satt i bilen på väg hem när hon, precis när jag svängde in på Råsundavägen i Solna, frågade mig om det inte brann nere i en byggnad i industriområdet (i samma område där nya nationalarenan kommer att ligga). Jag sa “nej, det gjorde det väl inte?”, hon sa “Jooo, jag lovar det brann därnere!”.

Vi gjorde en u-sväng och åkte nerför backen mot byggnaden som var/är Migrationsverkets lokaler i Solna.

Intill byggnaden satt det en man i rullstol som hade tänt en brasa (en mindre version av maj-brasa om den ska liknas vid något) i närheten av väggen/byggnaden.

Vi stannar bilen en bit bort och jag börjar ropa till mannen, som just nu sitter där och försöker göra elden större “Vad håller du på med?”, ropar jag. Mannen svarar inte utan fortsätter lugnt att göra brasan större.

Jag ropar igen.. “VAD HÅLLER DU PÅ MED?”.

Inget svar. Situationen känns mycket märklig. Bredvid allt detta åker bilar och cyklister förbi i en inte alltför strid, men ändå hygglig ström. Ingen stannar. ALLA tittar, men ingen stannar.

I det här läget, just då, tänker jag nog mest på huset och all den skada som kan uppstå. Vi har naturligtvis ringt brandkåren under tiden, men hela situationen känns ändå mer märklig än så.

När vi stått där i cirka en minut, och jag helt har misslyckats med att få kontakt med mannen, beslutar jag mig för att ta hjälp av någon fler, så jag går helt enkelt ut på vägen och stoppar en cyklist. Jag och tjejen försöker snabbt berätta vad som hänt. Samtalet är lugnt för vi är fortfarande frågande, och med tanke på att brandkåren är på väg så blir det ett ganska lugnt samtal, men en bit in i samtalet så rullar mannen plötsligt IN I ELDEN!

Cyklisten kastar cykeln och vi springer bägge fram till elden för att försöka få ut mannen därifrån. Lågorna var inte jättehöga, men tillräckligt stora för att det nu hade hunnit börja brinna i hans kläder och däcken explodera / smälta. Vi drar snabbt ur han därifrån och gör allt för att få stopp på elden, som tacksamt nog ändå inte hunnit få så mycket fäste, så det går förhållandevis lätt.

Situationen känns verkligen helt absurd, för 10 minuter sen var den enda frågan man hade i huvudet vilket tv-program man skulle slötitta på när man kom hem, och här står vi nu tillsammans med en annan anonym man som vi dragit ut från en eld.

Det är nu situationen blir än mer sorglig. Vi har precis släckt elden i hans kläder och det enda den här mannen vill är, att åka in i igen. Han tar tag i hjulen som fortfarande är mycket varma. Det låter om händerna när han tar tag om metallen på fälgarna, men han ska bara tillbaka. Vi håller fast honom och säger lugnt, no, no you can’t go back in again, och situationen lugnar alltefterhand ner sig. Han ger upp, både fysiskt och känslomässigt och inser nog att vi kommer inte låta han åka in där igen.

Vi hör nu brandbilarna och ambulansen komma närmare och för första gången sen vi kommit fram till platsen känner jag hur känslorna griper tag i mig och jag börjar förstå vad som verkligen hänt framför oss, den här mannen hade velat ta sitt liv på ett sätt som jag bara sett på tv. Jag känner hur tårarna rinner, och jag kan inte göra något för att stoppa dom. Vi har precis sett på när en man vill ta sitt eget liv.

Jag känner också en annan känsla.. som är hela anledningen till att det här antagligen hänt. Hur kan vi svenskar forma lagar och regler på ett sånt sätt att en människa är beredd att dö, för att den är utformad som den gör? Hur kan det inte vara humanitära skäl, när en person hellre brinner upp än att vi tillsammans ska ta hand om han/henne? För mig, som människa, är det helt obegripligt.

Att myndigheterna behöver lagar och regler att rätta sig efter förstår jag, men borde det inte finnas utrymme för någon form av empati och medkänsla här, eller gör det kanske redan det och det används inte? Jag vet ärligt talat inte.

En sak vet jag dock, och det är att vi som fötts i det här landet har haft tur. Få av oss känner någon som dött i krig, ännu färre har torterats eller förföljts för sina åsikter. Vi har ett ansvar att ta hand om de som inte haft samma tur.

Jag var inte stolt och glad över att vara svensk när jag ibörjan av veckan följde historien kring Ganna, men jag är desto mer stolt att vara svensk idag när så många människor engagerat sig i hennes öde, och också sett till att hon förhoppningsvis får plats.

… och om någon undrar hur det gick för mannen i rullstolen så fick jag senare samma kväll veta att han hade klarat sig och skulle bli bra igen. Håller tummarna för att allt gått bra för honom.

——————– AUTO-TRANSLATED TEXT————————

This week for me was marked by events of Ganna, the old woman that we would not allow to stay here in Sweden but returned to his homeland, despite her age and condition. The event is this week reminded me of one of my strongest experiences in life, an event that I will never forget.

This happened for about six years ago. Me and my then partner had been to the movies and sat in the car on the way home when she, like when I turned onto Råsundavägen in Solna, asked me if it did not burn down a building in the industrial area (in the same area where the new national stadium will be lie). I said “no, it did it’s not?”, She said “Jooo, I promise it was burning down there”.

We made a u-turn and drove down the hill towards the building that was / is the Migration Board’s premises in Solna.

Adjacent to the building sat a man in a wheelchair who had lit a fire (a smaller version of the May-fire if it is to be compared to anything) near the wall / building.

We stop the car some distance away and I start to cry out to the man who currently sits there and tries to make the fire bigger “What are you doing?”, I cry. The man does not answer but continued quietly to make the fire bigger.

I cried again .. “What are you doing?”.

No reply. The situation is very strange. Beside all this going cars and riders pass in the not too contrary, but still decent power. No one stops. Everybody looks, but no one stops.

In this mode, just then, I think probably most of the house and all the damage that may occur. Of course we have called the fire department during the time, but the whole situation seems even more remarkable than that.

As we stood there for about a minute, and I have completely failed to make contact with the man, I decide to get help from someone more, so I simply go out on the road and stops a cyclist. Me and my girl are trying to quickly explain what happened. The conversation is quiet because we are still puzzled, and given that the fire department is on its way, it becomes a pretty easy call, but a bit into the roll call as the man suddenly into the fire!

Rider throws the bike and we both ran up to the fire to try to get the man away. The flames were not very high, but large enough that it now had time to catch fire in his clothing and tires explode / melt. We pull quickly out of him from there and will do anything to stop the fire, which thankfully still not managed to get so much attached, so it is relatively easy.

The situation feels really quite absurd, for 10 minutes then the only question you had in your head which TV programs they would slötitta on when you came home, and here we are with another anonymous man who we pulled from a fire.

It is now the situation is even more sad. We have just put out the fire in his clothing and the only thing this man wants is to go into again. He takes hold of the wheels that are still very hot. The sounds of hands when he takes hold of the metal on the rims, but he’ll just return. We stick to him and says calmly, no, no you can not go back in again, and the situation calms everything down afterwards. He gives up, both physically and emotionally and will recognize that we will not let him go in there again.

We hear now fire engines and ambulance get closer and for the first time since we arrived at the place I feel the emotion seizes me and I begin to understand what really happened in front of us, this man had wanted to kill himself in a way that I only seen on television. I feel the tears flowing, and I can not do anything to stop them. We have just seen on a man would take his own life.

I also feel a different feeling .. which is the whole reason for this probably happened. How can we Swedes shape laws and regulations in a way that a man is willing to die, because it is designed the way it does? How can there be for humanitarian reasons, when a person would rather burn up than that together we will take care of him / her? To me, that man, it is completely incomprehensible.

That the authorities need laws and rules to abide by, I understand, but there should be scope for some form of empathy and compassion here, or do you already there and it is not used? I honestly do not know.

One thing I know, however, and that is that we are born in this country has been lucky. Few of us know someone who died in wars, even fewer have been tortured or persecuted for their opinions. We have a responsibility to take care of those who have not had the same luck.

I was not pleased and proud to be Swedish when I At the beginning of the week followed the history of Ganna, but I am even more proud to be Swedish today when so many people involved in her fate, and also made sure that she hopefully will fit.

… And if anyone is wondering what happened to the man in the wheelchair, I had later that night knowing that he had done and would be fine again. Keeps fingers crossed that everything has gone well for him.

Ireland 2010

Previously I’ve posted a pic from the castle where we stayed one year ago. The occasion was some close friends wedding, and what a wedding it was! This photo is taken just outside the castle towards the lake.

I need to go back there sometime and relieve the atmosphere! Can really recommend Ireland if you haven’t been there yet!

Autumn Leaves

After a busy weekend where I almost haven’t had the time to hardly sit down, Sunday was all the opposite. Took a walk at one of Stockholms Castles, Drottningsholms Slott. Unfortunately in the amazing weather I forgot my DSLR, but I took a number of pictures anyway with my phone.

Hope you all have a great ending of this (at least in Sweden) beautiful weekend!

Ages

My idea behind this photo was to portrait the difference between the different stages in life – the two girls eating, and the woman and the man sitting on the bench – are in.

I tried to use a different composition where I kept the pole as a separator between the two couples.

Free app – Burst mode

Maybe you have tried to capture a golf swing or fast flying object with your mobile cam. I guess you sometimes missed that opportunity due to the (compared to your DSLR) slow camera.

Burst mode is an app that takes multiple shots and you can then choose which one’s you wanna save. Quite handy sometimes.

The app used to cost $2 but now it’s free (for a limited time?). A little app to try out during your weekend walk? (Btw, do you notice the slight optical illusion on the right pic?)

Summernight

The last few days this blog has been almost all about iPhone and the new iOS5, and almost nothing about photography so I guess it’s time to go back to normal again.

Winter is soon here in Sweden and today we almost had 0 degrees celsius when I woke up. So I thought a picture from a few months ago would help to keep us warm.

This pic is from an amazing summer night in early August. The night was warm, the sky was blue and the sounds from people cheering and toasting was all there. In short, a perfect summer night.

Hope you’ll have a great day.

iOS5, the first 24 hours

So, the first 24 hours with the new iOS is coming to an end. At first it seemed to be a lot of struggling but I must say it’s an impressive upgrade! At one hand you hardly can’t see the difference, but on the other hand it’s so much functionality bundled together with your everyday use of the phone that I think it’s hard to go back to the old version.

The main benefits in my opinion so far:

  • iCloud is far better than I thought. When it was released I almost compared it to Dropbox, but this is so much more. To get all your pictures directly into Aperture on your Mac and at the same time get them in your iPad and so on is amazing! This actually makes my old iPad come to better use (since it doesn’t have a cam), and I guess iCloud is the best feature all over.
  • The drop down panel is also really good. I used to have a couple of Androids before and this feature is probably the one that I missed the most. You can move faster to the things that happens in your communication with others.
  • iMessage seems really neat. Works perfectly. On the other hand it almost feels like a clone to “What’s app”.
  • GUI-enhancement. It seems like GUI-enhancements have been made all over. It’s really subtle if you don’t think about it, but the typefaces in the messaging and some symbols have changed face and it actually looks a little bit more modern.
  • Finally get rid of the cable to connect to iTunes. This is one of the features that have been the most hard to understand. Finally you can drop that cable and just download things “over air”.

On the negative side I can think of two main things to complain (a little) about:

  1. The upgrade was a little bit frustrating (in Apple-terms) due to all icons loosing their old structure, even though I’m one of those that find pleasure in trying things out
  2. A little lack of performance. At first it seemed like a big drop, and after some hours I couldn’t see any drop at all but I think there is a little bit more lagging.

Crosswind landings

Since I’m not a pilot (and never will be) I can hardly understand how they can land in these conditions, I’ve always been fascinated by cross-wind landings. There are numerous videos out there with scenes from some really amazing landings and this is a good collection (if you turn the music off).

I’m really happy that I wasn’t onboard….

Upgrade to iOS5 – part 2, and lion OS 10.7.2 – updated

Day after upgrading to Apple iOS5; my experiences so far:

  • The phone still feels a little bit laagy. especially when I’m in app store (and if you’ve read my previous post you know that I’ve visited app store like 300 times already. If I would’ve owned a 3GS I would’ve waited for some more information on the performance.
  • My apps haven’t returned so I still have to manually reinstall them from app store. A time-consuming task to say the least. UPDATE: I’ve found a way around this. Just launch iTunes at your computer and sync the programs once more. I lost all my folders so all the apps are just hanging around but at least I don’t need to manually install every single one through iCloud.
  • iCloud feels even better than yesterday. The experience to take a pic with the phone and seconds after see it in Aperture is amazing
  • Upgrading my iMac to the new Lion 10.7.2 went really easy. The only problem I’ve got was a duplication of my calendars. That was easy resolved with just deleting one copy under preferences

After the first 12 hours after upgrading my conclusion it that I would’ve waited a few days to upgrade if I wasn’t REALLY interested in just get some experience with the new iOS and I didn’t mind struggling a bit to get there. I still haven’t succeeded in upgrading my iPad (still get an error message at the end of the upgrade process). I guess I will end up deleting it and then reinstall from my backup. UPDATE: Earlier this morning I finally (3:rd attempt) got things to work (maybe this was due to installing the Lion upgrade before?!) and it works great. The problem with the apps, like I had on the iPhone I’ve on the iPad aswell. Apart from that everything now works fine and I also think that the performance is back.

Upgrading to iOS5

Tonight was the night when the final release of iOS5 was about to be released. With a cup of coffee in my hand I eagerly waited for the upgrade to reveal itself in iTunes, and suddenly, there it was.

I’m a quite heavy user so my phone is stuffed with things, so I was prepared for a pretty long, timewise, upgrade. After a little more than 1 hour I was finished.

My initial reactions so far:
– I notice a slight decrease in speed performance due to the heavier OS but I’m not sure yet whether this is because I still have a lot of things to handle before everything’s up or if it just me searching for differences
– The upgrade process was pretty sleek, no bigger worries but on my iPad I’m actually still struggling. Keeps getting an upgrade error. But as always with Apple products it’s just to start all over again
– iCloud really feels like a bigger thing than I initially thought it would be. It’s actually pretty nice to have all your photos (for instance) instantly uploaded to your iPad and iMac when you have taken them
– I’ve always had some problems with “me.com” but now when the services are all pulled together, it seems like those problems have been resolved with the iCloud-solution
– The biggest problem I’ve had so far is that a large portion of my 400 app’s (yes I know it’s a little bit weird) doesn’t get installed so I need to manually press the “iCloud”-button to install those that aren’t there already. With the iCloud-button i mean the service that Apple released during the summer where all your apps are synced between your iTunes-account, your phone and iPad. Quite neat and it works perfectly. Even though the service works perfectly it’s quite time consuming to enter that button, go to the screen where the icon is, go back to iTunes and click the next one.. and do this for all my apps.
– The new reminder-app seems really good at first glance. Haven’t for obvious reasons been able to try it so much yet.

If you’ve upgraded and wan’t to share your thought’s I’m really curious about how things went.

Adobe demonstrates deblurring

This looks truly amazing! Adobe demonstrates a new function for deblurring a blurred image, in the next release of Adobe Photoshop. Think about all the pictures you’ve taken that now can be saved. This looks really interesting!

On my way to work

As I’ve said before on this blog autumn is my favourite season of the year. The colors are truly amazing and the air crisp and clean.

This is a picture I took on my way to work today.
