One of my long term projects is "This is my home town - Husqvarna" I have been working on the project for nearly 12 years and shall continue with it for a couple of more years. The project shall eventually result in a book and a exhibition.

For many people who lives in the remote village in China is this bus the only way to travel to the nearest city 35 km away. The bus may look simple in our eyes but for the villagers is it a important lifeline.

All of us remember how proud we were when we first learned how to ride the bike! This boy has recently learned how to ride the bike and he is also very proud of his new fine bicycle.

The local footy team Husqvarna FF (HFF) played in the second division for one season before they were degraded to the third division because of a poor result. In april 2014 they met the Swedish team GAIS from Gothenburg. A match that HFF won with 2-0. The stadium was almost full, but everybody didn't want to pay 100 kronor to see the footy game. There was some free riders outside the stadium who did their best to see the match without paying for it.

Many street photographers travel around the world to find interesting people and environments. I like to wander around the streets of my hometown and document the surroundings and the people that i meet. Two persons that I have met on the streets is Cornel and Peter. They belong to the Roma minority and come from a village in the north-east of Romania. They came to Huskvarna with the intention to get a job and an income in order to provide for their families back home. They earn some money through odd jobs, working as street musicians, collecting cans or selling the Swedish street magazine Faktum.

When I was a street photographer I used to use a 35 mm lens. I don't call myeself a street photographer anymore and when I document my surroundings I use whatever lens I prefer even if it happen to be a tele zoom lens. I had a nice chat with the gentleman in the picture after the shoot and I took a photo of him and his best friend with my Leica.

Even if I'm not so interested in taking street photos I really enjoy taking street portraits of both known and unkown persons.
