… without a script.

In the Gothenburg area (Sweden) there are several really good street photographers, we kind of blend and mix in an unofficial photography network. I thought I’ll introduce some of them to you. First up is Agneta Dellefors Rydén.
Pic in top is called “selfie”

– It’s happening here and now. You don’t notice it, but there’s an non-staged play constantly going on, lacking both director and script.

It’s her own words, at a exhibition she’s currently having at Scandinavian Photo in Mölndal, just south of Gothenburg. If you’re close by, I strongly recommend you to go there. One reason is that almost all pics are better printed and hung on a white wall, but the main reason is of course that she’s a great photographer.

Her eyes spot both details and whole pictures, and her imaging is just as good. I believe she’s really good at the postproduction as the exhibited pics all are balanced, funny or intriguing – and sometimes all of that. She was kind enough to let me publish two of her pics from the exhibition. The one below is a real favorite…

Silly or not, I’m glad that someone else like to share my pics. Sometimes (on Instagram) I add the hashtag #Shootoff and some of those pics get shared. These are the latest nine pics that got shared by Shootoff. And my normal 20-40 likes/pic add upp to a little more. Nice.

Can you guess which of these nine that got the highest acclaim?

Yup, thats the one. “Thru it all”, botton middle…

With or without.

Always hearing from people that one is better than the other. I just question if maybe not both have a place?

Talking about color or black and white. Nowadays people have very set opinions on either or. I really think most pictures have a meaning, even if the possible interested audience might vary.

Here a simple example on a pic where I’d hate have to choose just one and then pitch the other.

Walked about in Chicago a bit, mostly looking forward and down (from the Loop), but occasionally I also looked up as the Windy city has many dimensions of interest and one is “high”.

There was this hotel, that had put pillows and cushions in the windows and in one of them…

What’s up?

To a street photographer of today, one thing stand out – the smartphone. Wherever I look, someone’s looking down into a cell phone.

There’s both pros and cons with this, First, people look down a lot and for me – always looking for eyes an eye contact – it’s boring and frustrating. Second, the blueish light from the screen help light people faces. And most don’t see me right away (I might have the time to take more than 1-2 pics).

Here are three very typical examples, all from Gothenburg:

Time standing still.

Yes. Me too. I also think that this is quite an ordinary pic.

But something about the lines in the bridge, the colors and the backdrop fascinates me. Even if I really don’t know why.

Do you?

Windy city streets.

I’ve now added a page with some of my pics from Chicago last November. Visited my family in Indianapolis for Thanksgiving and took some time to drive and meet a friend of mine there. Click here for the gallery.
