Efterklang show in Gothenburg 16 February. For the 4th time I got to see these lovely Danes perform, this time in my hometown. The 3-piece brought along three talented musicians which was perfect for the small venue. The concerts was of course great (they just never disappoint). I took a whole lot of photos so here are just some of them. I also took a group photo of the band that I’ll post another day. Visit the band’s website at www.efterklang.net.

On camera. A South Korean model is being interviewed backstage at Seoul Fashion Week 2009. I rarely visit fashion shows but I got an opportunity to see some in Seoul a few years ago, and even get in behind the curtains where I took some photos backstage before the models got out on the runway. Unfortunately I only had a Canon 400D and a 50mm f/1.4 lens with me (so things looked quite tiny) but I happily fired away among the other photographers with much more equipment. I have a whole set of images from this event on my website. Check it out at eriksellgren.com.

Swedish frost. Mölndal, Sweden. It’s been pretty cold in Gothenburg lately, with temperatures falling to around -15 °C (5 °F). I never upload photos to my blog taken with my iPhone camera but this is an exception, cause it turned out quite alright.

Observing the observer. A group of old Korean men (Ajoshi) playing a traditional board game and a young girl taking notes outside Tapgol Park in Seoul. I don’t know why. Maybe she’s an anthropologist. South Korea in September 2009.
