Honestly?
Honestly!?
This is what photography is about to me. A memory that will mean something to me and the people around me for years to come. It’s simple and straightforward, but it’s more powerful than anything “created” by a hotshot photographer with an agenda his clients won’t understand.
Sure, I’m biased, these are my boys, but a moment like this, created or not, will always, ALWAYS be more important to me, or anyone with a family, compared to the posed contrived shot with a fancy video light or a soft box.
Always.
Don’t get me wrong, I pose people like there’s no tomorrow if I have to and I’m about to buy myself some fancy video lights, but in the end it’s important to remember that shots like this one will always win.

Visst är det väl du och Beppe, minuterna före första pokergiven Pennygången för sisådär 30 år sedan, eller ???. Urhäftig bild, Jonas.

Jag håller helt med! Fantastiskt fina pojkar du har!
Så himla söta!!! Jag blir alldeles varm och öm sitter här på andra sidan jordklotet och *ler* för mig själv! Håller med dig om att sådana här ögonblicksbilder är oslagbara det går inte att jämföra med tillrättalagda studiobilder!

Super cute! love love love that image! Made me smile :)
Exactly so.
Couldn’t agree more.
And what a lovely shot it is!

I love your way of photgraphy! it´s always wonderful…
Cute! They look like they could stir up some serious trouble. Hahaha! I agree with you. My favorite shots, even those that may be technically less impressive, are always the shots of my family.
Right on. And, boy, do you make some cute kids.
Always indeed :~)
You have every right to be biased, those guys are awfully cute. :)
“A moment like this, created or not, will always, ALWAYS be more important to me, or anyone with a family, compared to the posed contrived shot with a fancy video light or a soft box”.
Agreed.
Darling :)
OMG they’re your double! This is very cute. And you’re right – this is what it’s all about.
