About Me


People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.
Being your best is not so much about overcoming the
barriers other people place in front of you as it is
about overcoming the barriers we place in front of
ourselves. It has nothing to do with how many times
you win or lose but it does have everything to do
with having the vision to dream, the courage to
recover from adversity and the determination
never to be shifted from your goals.
Confidence comes not from always being right
but from not fearing to be wrong.

My Interests

Klicka här:

Photography. Storytelling. Solidarity. Writing. Reading. Shooting record covers. Nature. Sex. Punkrock. Soul. Work on personal photojournalism projects. Old and new friends. My pets (dogs'n'cats). Silly movies. Milk chocolate. Mountains. Tibetan Buddhism. Try to work out... and not sleep all day and stay up all night instead and you know how it goes...

Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch - what make you go beyond the norm.

I am recovering from panic/agoraphobia. It's going fucking great because you know what? I got tired of it. OK I'm still not a fan of the subway but... the Subway I do love. The sandwiches. Mmm!

I'd like to meet:


People that let me take pictures of their lives/job/project/whatever you got for me ;)
People that wants to buy a print from me.

Oh and someone who wants to go with me to Nepal/Tibet/India.
