Celebspotting Carola Häggkvist

I got my new camera Canon EOS Mark 5 III so I have to try it. I found out that Carola was performing at Stockholm Stadion. Here are few pictures.

Little about Carola from Wiki. Carola born 8 September 1966, better known as simply Carola, is a Swedish singer and occasional songwriter. She has been among Sweden's most popular performers since the early 1980s, and has released albums ranging from pop and disco to hymns and folk music. Her debut album, Främling, sold around one million copies and remains the biggest-selling album in Swedish music history.

You can found Carola at Spotify. Häggkvist has represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest on three occasions: in 1983, finishing third; in 1991, winning the contest; and in 2006, finishing fifth. Maybe you should travel to Malmö next year and visit dhe Eurovision Song Contest final?

Two Friends

After taking a coffee at Wayne's Coffee House, I saw these two girls go on Drottninggatan. Two friends from Stockholm who been shopping at Sportstore Stadium and Marco Polo. A sweet girl with a yellow Scooby Doo shirt and a cute girl with blue shorts.

Enjoy the shots..

What is Candid and Street Photography?

Street photography is a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions and other settings.Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of
something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment.
On the other hand, much street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only
be passingly familiar with. In the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture in Europe and North America, and elsewhere to a somewhat lesser extent.
