These photos were taken in the 1920’s by the Sidney police department. They are portraits of criminals. My first thoughts were: Those are amazing. I really have to get a large format camera. Then, who was the photographer — an artist? The photos have something unexplainable about them, something deeper than the average mug shot. Then I thought, oh, their clothes are beautiful, what a good sense of style. Where they street criminals or… Read more »

Goodbye 2010. Swedish Memories
When 2010 came only one thing was sure: I was going to Shanghai. I didn’t know for how long or what would happen after. I only knew I was going. I went in February and met up with my boyfriend, who had traveled from Stockholm. We enrolled at the university, found a great studio apartment down town, and huddled together under our umbrella on our way to school, noodle shops, and fashion shows. Then came… Read more »

The Bilora Bella 66, 1956
Some people get obsessed by new stuff. They need to dress with the latest trends, they need to have the new gadgets, the latest cameras. They see latest as a synonym to best. Others get obsessed with old stuff. They dress in vintage, they recycle materials, they collect things because they like to imagine the story behind those objects. Me, my heart splits between both.

It’s a small world by El Andy
The photographs below are so called tilt-shift photographs. Tilt-shift is a photography technique where the focus plane makes everything looks all cute and tiny.

Esta es una técnica fotográfica donde el enfoque plano provoca que todo se vea bonito y pequeño. Me hace desear que… Read more »
