Hi from the west coast of Sweden

Hi, good manner to do a presentation I think

Christian living in on the west coast of Sweden. Have been photographing since pre teen and it have been one of the most important things i my life. Working full time as freelance photographer and every thing is digital, fast and always on the run. For my free time it´s also photography but analog and slow. I use all formats from half frame to 4x5 an it have become my meditation, a window to breath and think. Even if photography is 24/7 for me I enjoy every minute of it but I need my slow free photography to balance my stressful money making.

My LF equipment are a Zone VI #1879 with FUJINON SW 1:8/90 + Copal 0 and a Computar Symmetrigon 6.3/150 + Copal 1. Was going for a new not used camera where it would be easier to get accessories like wide angel bellows and plates but when I spotted this ZVI I couldn`t resist.

Hope to have a good time her. I´m a big believer in sharing and if I can I certainly will.

Hi Christian,

I'm Christian from the West Coast of the US. Nice layout on your website. I particularly enjoyed your Polaroid work. Are you using any Impossible Project film? CB

Two Christian on two west coasts, thats a good sign. We got both sides covered

Fuji and Impossible, I use them both just to support them. I want good instant but I don´t think TIP are there yet, haven´t tried the last batch dough. Still hope they will come up with some decent 4x5 instant but I don´t know if that will happen. Instant is not a big part of my pictures but the kids like it, spoiled with digital but they love to see the print coming strait out of a camera. My plan is to have a big bowl with hundreds of instant and once in a while scramble them up to make a new collage on the top layer. An on going collage machine to fill with new images

Hej Christian

Welcome to the forum. I'm in Lund, but I spent last midsummer in Attared, so we're practically neighbours. Nice to see another storformatare.
