In June
1997 when I felt I'd had enough of everything and everyone, I packed
my Volkswagen bus with food, clothes,my Gandolfi camera and lots of
music and set off from Höganäs to Norway to experience some
space, snow, sunshine and fresh air.
I left all theory behind. No direct ideas about a project to photograph.
No method. Nothing. Just be there, look, feel and enjoy. And photograph.
Here's the result :26 images.
In June there were few tourists.The driving was easy, apart from the
"boxes" - speed traps, placed along the side of the road and
the occasional snow storm. I made Lom a kind of base for a few of days,
visiting the area round Sognefjell and later Åndalsnes and Ålesund.
In three days I'd photographed around 5o sheets of 5x4" film. I
came back developed the film and made the contacts.That is what you'll
find here.

images are the 1st part of the project: MOUNTAINS
