CARL ZEISS
Some off season images from a Askims beach, not far from home. A place that is packed in the summertime. All images taken with the Hasselblad 500CM & Zeiss 80mm 2.8.

Just near my home is an old estate from 1860. Went by one morning when the light was just right.
All images taken with my Hasselblad 500 CM, Carl Zeiss 80mm 2.8 on Kodak Portra 400 & Tri-X
A few weeks ago I posted images from the old roadside restaurant & motel in Brännebrona, Sweden. Then the images where digital but now I’ve got the scans back from the lab! So here are the results :) For me film does it almost every time. The overexposed Portra looks amazing and adds another dimension to the image.

I have often thought about doing a city guide of Gothenburg, inspired by early VSCO and the city guides they posted on their blog. But for me it will be sort of a city guide made on film. Film because I enjoy that experience more than digital (also the results). My beautiful black Hasselblad 500CM with Portra 400 and Leica M7 with Tri-X, is the intended gear I will use (all 50mm equivalent). I haven't really come around to do so many places yet, but I see this as a long term project, that I will pick up again during the spring/summer.
First place out is Magasinsgatan. It has more alternative side compared to the main shopping streets. Here you'll find the best coffee, food trucks, interior/clothing stores. I both love the look and feel of this place. It makes me feel like I'm not really in Sweden. And that's actually a good thing! More on that some other time...
I hope you enjoy our beautiful Gothenburg and I hope to see some of you amazing photographers do the same for your city!
