“AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHGGG!!!...” – My last day in Sweden, on my 3 hour drive back to Stockholm Airport… I see images jumping from everywhere I look…


Snow… Clouds, light changing from one moment to the other… Small patches of blue sky… And the clock does not stop ticking… There are kilometres to go through and a plane to catch…

I probably said this a thousand times before, but there’s something in Scandinavian light that caught me from the first time I’ve been in Sweden… I actually think that 2003 was the year that defined a lot in the person I am in a series of ways and also defined the way I look for light everywhere I go… Every time I come back I feel that this is probably the land of my dreams…

Back to reality: 5 trip days, never ending meetings, probably no more than 2 hours of picture taking… 700 kilometres of images that only my dreams will see… one year less till the end and still a long way to go…

Birthday???... Ah, yes today’s my birthday…

"There's a Chinese restaurant across the square, here on the left you have an Indian, and close by, there's an Italian..." - In case you did not guess I'm in a small city in the middle of Sweden...


I once said something like this to a colleague before her 1'st trip: "your credit card is your best friend... In case something goes wrong you can always rent a car and drive back home"... This crossed my mind today when it took me more than one hour to find my car rental company desk at the Stockholm airport...

What if you can´t find a rental company?... Well, you'd better not be in your 1'st trip and be aware that worse things can happen... Things like getting into an hotel room and not finding the bed...

Talking about that, i finally got the car, drove for 3 hours and finally got to the hotel... The bedroom had a bed... But it was the 1'st time I got a room with a single small bed, smaller than the sofa bed from the other time but let's not talk about that...

Two days have passed, Scandinavia still has the best ligth one can wish for... I was forced to pass on two amazing sunsets before actually being able to go out and shoot... When I finally did, nature greeted me with a snow storm...
