Lost and found - Kodak Portra 400

Each summer I try to take the time and drive around the Swedish countryside. Small roads and small towns can contain some interesting stuff. I like the things that are left behind. Buildings, restaurants, signs, cars. Sometimes you get the feeling that the whole town is left behind. This time I drove around and found some old abounded cars in the middle of nowhere.

Here are the full set, all shot on the Mamiya 7 and the 65mm f4. The film is my go to, Kodak Portra 400. All scanned by me using Valoi, Fujifilm GFX and a Pentax 645 120mm macro lens.

Film photography project

On a recent drive I found my next photography project. I have some time been fascinated by off season activities and the way I think they tell an interesting story. Both visually and culturally. So this project is about off season campers. These places become something else in winter time. They transform. They have a sense of being left behind. A mix of sadness and a bit of mystery. I also find it interesting with the people who choose to live or spend time in their caravans when it’s not summertime. But don’t expect any stranger portraits as I’m still way to shy for that! In fact I’m pretty scared someone will see me just pondering around with my large camera. Not sure yet what this project will transform into but here’s a sample of what I got so far. Can you spot the cat?
