Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train got my baby and gone (Junior Parker and Sam Phillips)

In the cold morning sunshine I found myself on a photo shoot for Dannemora Mineral in the harbor of Hargshamn. The new train wagons for the iron transport from the mine to the harbor had arrived this week and there the stood; cold and shiny, new and ready to roll….

Konst på väg 2012

helvoort — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:19:19 +0000

visit me on Konst På Väg 2012 in Spannstalled of Örbyhus Slott

busy with wedding albums, wedding fair preparations, fine-art creation and selection for Konst på väg 2012.

This year I have the honor to be in Spannstalled of Örbyhus Slott among many very talented colleagues! I will have a new selection of fine-art photos combined with Haiku poetry. This will be in the form of framed prints and framed Haiku’s. Most likely there will be small books for sale with the complete collection.

I will also have some more local work of surroundings and a few of last years Konst på väg fine-art photos (depending on the space to be filled…..).

Very nice, very inspiring! This give me total energy!

Beautiful Black Vinyl

helvoort — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:29:13 +0000

Yesterday I rediscovered the beauty of my LP’s ! Oh yes I am that old . Not having my records and record player for quite some years because of moving, renovation and babies etc., I had the greatest moment yesterday smelling the LP covers and feeling the vinyl while changing sides! The smell of cardboard, the cover photos, the nostalgia and what struck me most the beauty of the sound!

I couldn’t believe the sound quality, of course heard many HIFI-enthousiast talking about it, but experiencing the friendliness of the sound coming through my speaker boxes ….. a total different game . Some CD’s are of course very good sound wise but I also have some new CD’s where you here an almost ‘empty’ sound with disturbing hi-tones and flat middle tones… not to mention MP3 noise ….

Tonight is booked! Beer, wine, talks and LP’s

Have a nice weekend!

Today I found myself 460 meter underground walking an old train track submerged in water. It was FUN ! . So strange to see this historical spot of the mine which will be in production in the near future again. As ‘house photographer’ for Dannemora Mineral I have been busy this year with documenting the building process above ground level and got the strong urge to get dirty again. The surrealistic surroundings made me feel as if in a Indiana Jones movie or in an ‘after an atomic blast scenery’. I would never have thought I would be attracted to surroundings like this; too dark, scary, dirty etc. but somehow the mine and I match …. only the elevator shafts give my slight fear of hight a negative boost .
