Photogravure is a laborious and slow process. Shown here are the printing plate and tarlatan used to dry out the highlights and remove excess ink for printing.

Exhibition during Umeå Design Week and the opening of my brand new web shop. Plus some exciting photogravure material.

Hello there, dear visitors! If you subscribe to my newsletter, you have probably already read about some of the things I write about in this blog post. On the other hand, if you haven't read my newsletter, I hope you will find this post informative.

Time flies. It is now 2023 and already February.

I want to share some thoughts and events that have happened recently. As I wrote in a previous post last December, I am participating in the Cultural Heritage Program here in Umeå, Västerbotten.

After a period of less activity than usual in my analog photography, I am moving forward again. In northern Sweden, many major rivers are dammed. My latest project focuses on this topic with images from Sweden's most productive (2256 GWh/year) hydropower plant, Stornorrfors, on the Ume River.

My dear friend Mark Gibbs, a very talented artist based in Cumbria, suggested that we try to do a joint post on Facebook. We have now decided what we want to post later this weekend. The idea is to show two of our images next to each other and then write a short personal reflection on the other person's feed. Will this engage and start discussions or other interactions? I admit I'm a bit nervous. The plan is to do this on Sunday evening.
