4. My ideal self.

"This is hardly my ideal self. Please, forgive me. You will always be my light."

1. Is there no limit?

"Standing in the shower. What have I done? Why did I do it? I thought I could take away the pain, and now it turns out no one can. Is there no limit to the agony?"

Red Bull?

Remember that I am a tea person? Well, a few weeks ago, I finished my first ever cup of coffee. I might actually be able to learn to drink the stuff. Of course, this isn't me or coffee. This is my good friend with a beer.

If I have nothing, where do I go?

While I'm not inclined to do it myself, I do understand those that feel there is only one way out.

Lonely day.

I began to discuss patterns - how we often follow our own patterns and routines unconciously - with a good friend of mine. Scared me a bit.

Trapped.

Sometimes it's hard to get away. You just feel trapped. (Another shot from this session.)

Selling out.

Sometimes it's fun to try a more commercial-type shot.

Breaking the barrier

Sometimes you just have to push on through.

Butterfly.

Found this little fellow sitting on my balcony.

TV-time?

I've never been a big fan of TV. I don't know why, it's just not my thing.

The different personality of animals.

Some say that animals doesn't have personalities. I am of a different opinion.

Play ball.

I've never tried or taken tennis seriously, but after looking at it in person it seems like a sport I could learn to not dislike.

Ahoy, Superman!

Is it a cloud? A plane? No! It is Superman! (Being able to fly would be so fun.)

Shadowing.

I guess some shots every wannabe-photographer has to take. On another note, I'm feeling a bit better. In a few days I might actually be able to go outside again!

"You look like how I feel."

I've caught something. No energy, some random coughing, head aching, body hurting. I don't dig it one bit, but I suppose it could be worse.

Are we there yet?

The building is a hospital. I wonder how many that has lived here before arriving at their final destination.

Not my cup of tea.

Since a year and a half ago or so, I drink tea. I can even long for a cup sometimes - it seems to ease my mind and relax me. I don't drink coffee however - a friend of mine once described it as my "social handicap". Most people drink a lot of coffee here.

Once a sailor, always a sailor.

This man went out to sea when he was fifteen. He has travelled all over the world by boat, and visited an incredible number of places. Now he is a bit over sixty and retired, and lives in a small village in southern Sweden. He still sails out to sea every day - now checking and setting his fishing nets.

Birdie-birdie.

I found him trotting along, and after a while he didn't mind me. Hopefully he has learnt that he doesn't have to fear humans. And hopefully we won't misuse that trust.

Max and Manuel.

Photographing people is very different from photographing objects, and I'm trying to get better at it. An advice I've had on this picture is that the shadows are a bit harsh, which is true. But it's hard to get such a young fellow to be still for enough time to allow me explore the conditions better. Youngins have so much energy.
