Demotion/Promotion
2023-04-14 00:28:07 UTC
Demotion/Promotion, Los Angeles 2022 I don’t know that I need to address my absence. On the off-chance, dear reader, that you’ve been wondering what’s happened to me or felt concerned for my well-being, I can only thank you for your thoughts. I’ll use the same canned excuses as others–there was…

(Intermission)
2021-08-18 00:09:46 UTC
Duality, Los Angeles 2018 I’m finally back in Los Angeles after two months in Stockholm. And it’s heartbreaking. From the second I got off the plane and needed to get though passport control, I was smacked in the face with the brutal reality of how utterly run-down our infrastructure is.…

The Work Pt3
2021-08-01 17:23:16 UTC
Anything/Everything/All of the time, Los Angles, 2018 This is a complex tale. I’ll tell it over a couple entries. Here’s part 3. Part 1 can be found here. In fact, I was so inside out by then that what had originated as sheer and utter loathing for for my career…

The Work Pt2
2021-07-30 10:18:26 UTC
Fucked, Stockholm, 2019 This is a complex tale. I’ll tell it over a couple entries. Here’s part 2. Part 1 can be found here. The issue with not loving oneself leads to other unexpected consequences along the way. My escape from this feeling of utter freak-dom had always been a…

The Work Pt1
2021-07-28 10:27:57 UTC
A Confrontation, Los Angeles, 2019 This is a complex tale. I’ll tell it over a couple entries. Here’s part 1. In 2018, I suffered a breakdown. At the time, I don’t think I knew that it was a breakdown, but a couple years on down the road and I think…

Back Home
2021-07-22 12:54:00 UTC
Looking Forward, Stockholm, 2019 For the month, I’ve been back in Stockholm. From the moment I stepped off the plane I felt something shifting–this ever so slight adjustment to my perspective. Moment by moment I could feel my self straightening, aligning and moving into some kind of balance. This is…

New normal
2020-05-10 03:35:05 UTC
New Normal, Stockholm 2019 I’ve lost count of the number of days since the sequester started. When I consider it, I come to something like 60 days time has a funny way of playing tricks on you when you’re in a situation like this one. The days don’t really start…

My love, my life
2020-02-24 04:24:05 UTC
My love my life, Los Angeles 2019 Valentine’s Day has come and gone and while I write about a lot of different subjects here I rarely, if ever mention how much my wife means to me. Anna Maria and I have been connected at the hip since 1998. Those 20…

Relax
2020-02-18 20:55:56 UTC
Relax, Los Angeles 2019 When I still lived in Sweden, this was always the worst time of the year. Christmas had come and gone. New Years had come and gone. It was neither winter nor spring. It would snow and then the temperature would rise and the snow would melt…

Black+White
2019-09-10 00:28:45 UTC
Black+White, Los Angeles 2019 I read an interesting article about the Society of Political Psychologists’ annual meeting where one presenter delivered a paper predicting that over the course of the next few decades that the number of real, western-style democracies will shrink until only a few small hold-outs remain, but…

Gleaming the cube
2019-09-05 02:36:35 UTC
Gleaming the cube, Los Angeles 2019 I fell in love with the works of Ai WeiWei over the course of last year. I was late to the party–something that my friend Tim was more than eager to point out. I hadn’t seen Disposition and when I saw Forever, photographing both…

The process
2019-09-01 05:38:46 UTC
When I saw this wall of sketches by Jesper Waldersten at Fotografiska in Stockholm I was completely in awe of the dedication it takes to ones art to make sketch after sketch after sketch, searching desperately for that spark—for that connection to a feeling that goes as quickly as it…

Mardi Gras 2018
2018-09-10 18:32:45 UTC
I spoke to Bruce Guilden at the opening night of his “GO” show opening a couple years back. While talking, I mentioned that my favorite book of his was his monograph on Mardi Gras, “Hey Mister, throw me some beads.” In what was quickly becoming a trend of that conversation,…

When I was young
2018-06-30 07:30:31 UTC
“When I was young” New Orleans 2018 When I back in New Orleans for Mardi Gras–my first in twenty years and the kids first ever–my mother insisted that we go to the Lakefront airport. When I was a kid, I was fascinated with planes trains and automobiles just like every…

Timothy
2018-02-01 04:25:47 UTC
“Timothy” K-Town 2017 There are few people that I call good friends. I think a lot of of it has to do with the fact that I’ve never really been good at being a friend to another male adult. I have a hard time connecting with my gender on a…

Worthy
2018-01-21 01:10:35 UTC
“Film Worthy” Hollywood 2017 I’ve had to make a few changes in my life for 2018. We’ve always had a comfortable lifestyle, the Noellert family. We’re not wealthy or even rich or affluent, but we’re not middle class. Ester says were “bougie” from time to time which makes my face…

Call Eli
2017-12-30 02:19:14 UTC
“Call Eli” Los Angeles 2017 This store was someone’s dream… I’m going to say that it was Eli’s store and ergo Eli’s dream of how he was going to make it big in the world. He had a dream of how he was going to leave his mark on Los…

A is for accident
2017-12-07 04:51:28 UTC
“A is for accident” On the days leading up to that trip to Ikea a couple weeks back, I had an aching feeling. Anyone who has shot long enough with the same camera–especially film cameras with a bevy of mechanical bits–can tell you with some degree of accuracy when something…

10 minutes
2017-11-25 06:18:00 UTC
“10 minutes 1” “10 minutes 2” “10 minutes 3” “10 minutes 4” I rarely shoot just architecture anymore. Somewhere along my photographic journey I was pulled towards images narrating a human experience to art or architecture or the surrounding environment. Architecture began serving a compositional role that is one component…

Waiting
2017-11-22 06:10:23 UTC
“Waiting” My train rides with Elliot always lead to Union Station. The Expo line stops at 7th Street and we transfer to the red line and ride the rest of the way to Union Station. Sometimes we’ll get out and walk down 7th and then turn left, up towards Grand…

Twinning
2017-10-31 04:54:52 UTC
“Twinning” Here’s another attempt at seeing what’s happening around me instead of looking for the image I’m expecting to make. I walked into the LACMA book store right after the guy in the picture. Anna Maria and the kids were already wondering around inside looking at books and posters and…

“Greyspace at Crater Lake 1” “Greyspace at Crater Lake 2” “The Road” “Wear you glasses” “Barber shop on Main” “Sunset over Medford” For the eclipse my father rented a cabin in a little town called Medford. Medford’s a couple hours from Crater Lake and a couple more to Albany where…

Head shrinking
2017-10-24 01:34:32 UTC
“Head shrinking” I’ve been trying to see things differently. I’m trying to really look at what’s happening around me and to not see what I’m expecting to see. I feel like I’m missing things, important things that are worthy of finding and exploring are happening and it’s not for want…

Grumpy old men
2017-10-23 04:13:56 UTC
“Grumpy old men” I followed the gentleman in the photograph for a while. I liked his suit and bald head and didn’t quite understand the bag, but then again I didn’t really need to. I found him interesting and I thought he will make an interesting subject in what I…

What it’s all about

“What it’s all about” You put your left foot inYou take your left foot outYou put your left foot inAnd you shake it all aboutYou do the hokey pokeyAnd you turn yourself aroundThat’s what it’s all about I really have no idea what this guy was doing. I’m guessing he…
