World Citizen. Havsbris is the swedish word for seabreeze – I like this word very much, and it describe my personality quite well.

 

We do not exist in the future and the past is only memories. The only reality lies in the moment… as the moment is impermanent. .. and too difficult to fathom. It is only the wise and those fortunate souls who feel love that really understands BEAUTY and perceives it with the naked eye (That's photography, according to me).

 

I have been interested in photography since the late 1980s, using old film cameras, but got boring cause it took times to see the result :) I leave photography awhile, and start again when the digital camera came - I am still learning, and will always do. Great to join flickr - to get inspiration and see how "the technique in photography" can create amazing beautiful pictures and art.

ASKING FOR PHOTOS: If you are after a photo from me, the only way you are going to get it is to do as follows - make a donation (minimum amount £100) to one of the fund-organization, like “Fadder-organisation”, “Organisation Music Against Violence“, “Greenpeace” or “Cancerfonden” - ask me for the detail if you feel to do this. I’ll be happy to provide you the detail of the organization and how to donate.

 

If you don’t feel to donate then don’t bother to contact me, cause I am not going to provide you with any picture/image/photography!

Charlie, I believe the first photo I’ve ever seen from you is a photo of an orchid, one of my favorite flowers. Since then, I’ve been hooked. You take magnificent photos all around, however, I stress on the flower photos because they’re clearly some of the best I’ve seen in flickr. Calling them “photo” is an understatement; they are truly art. There’s something very unique and special about the way you present them. I would proudly display your art in my home. If you live anywhere close to me, I’d hand pick you to be a friend. You’ve been generous and encouraging with your comments and it helps me to be a better photographer. Even when you’re busy you make time to stop by my stream for a quick visit. I appreciate that. You’ve kindly given me a photo tip. That’s what a friend does. ;-) You mention in your profile that you are a citizen of the world. I truly believe you are. You’re a class act too. Cheers to you, my friend!
