Hi,
I have been a lurker for quite a while as I have found most of my information without asking. But I feel it's time.
Now living in the north of Sweden, I have been an amateur since my early teens, first camera I got myself was a Konica Autoreflex T. So, yes, I am in my fifties and have got a second lease of life with digital photography.
During my high school and university years, I always had access to a darkroom, which made it easy to play with photography but then I when to Ericsson for 10 years. just got lost in the rat race until I became partner in a small, specialized computer consultant and really started to work. So, with small spouts of activity, I was a sleeper for 20 years. Then I got a Canon G3 and felt the urge again.
As I am original from the south of Sweden, I am trying to use the camera to explore my current surroundings. In a way, it becomes quite natural to try and capture the stunning nature of Norrland, as it is so shifting. Here the summers are light and alive and the winters freeze the sea so you can walk through the archipelago and almost see Finland. And the really big problem: Luleå is the home port for all Swedish icebreakers and they are a constant and impossible motif.
