We are a family of four boys, three sons and myself. We lost my wife (the boys' mother) to cancer the summer of 2008.

I like to take pictures of pretty much everything, but while I love landscapes I seem to do better at portraits, especially of the boys.

I welcome constructive criticism (and praise makes me smile and want to try harder).

This journal is to try and get me to think about taking a picture a day, to be aware of my daily life, with my boys and others around me.

Our family home is in Dalarö, Sweden but I decided to vacation in South Africa to get away from the pain at home. We have been here in Knysna for the last two winters, which has been very therapeutic for me.

Losing a wife (or loved one) is not something I would wish on anyone. It has, however, made me change my views on life in many ways. Now live life and don't worry to0 much about the past nor the future. I have discovered that I am more aware of things and others around me than I have ever been before. It's like my senses (finally) woke up.

Enjoy!
