Sometimes you just see people aiming at something you can’t see yourself. But their faces are magic.
Towards… something.

Left behind.
Early day, just before the stores open. Why are they left behind?
Feeling lonely?
Last summer she just sat there, as I passed by. Didn’t move even a finger. Felt slightly sad, but also saw her parent stand a bit further away. Did they have a fight a couple of minutes before?
Bear with me.
Looking at me.
“Where do I look?”, she asked slightly worried.
I’d just stepped up to her and asked nicely if I could take a portrait. I worked out well, I think.
Screening people
I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again. This bit with smartphones is to a street photographer both irritating and nice.
It’s easier to take a pic as people don’t see you immediately and also the blueish light from the screens help to light up their faces. But. It’s getting harder to get that magic look straight into my camera these days…

Well dressed.
Met him at Korsvägen a late afternoon last August. He stood out a bit, as he was the best dressed person around.
“Off course I am, I’m a tailor”, he said…
Friendly meet.
In a tight alley, outside a coffee shop in Gothenburg I met him. I spite of dark afternoon I figured that the lighting where he sat would turn out well. So I had to talk to him a bit, as I also got several nice shots. Nice guy.
On her way.
Just looking out the window? No. It hardly exists any longer. Today I see young and old, staring down in their screens.
Eyes and directions.
I like eyes a lot. Very often in a good street photography you got that look straight into your lens. But sometimes peoples looks tells a lot too. And they’re great to establish projections and directions in a pic.
