This winter I was asked by Filter magazine from Sweden if I wanted to open up for an interview. They sent me some samples of what they were expecting. The deal was really to not hold anything back and let the old history out.
I had kind of nibbled a little bit in the beginning of this blog with talking about the past and how I evolved into photography. But this would be way more revealing. So after hanging out with this question for a little while and talking to some friends, it was clear that my story doesn’t belong to me, so if he thought he could find something interesting in it - maybe I would even learn something myself.
So if you understand Swedish and would like to dive into a 23 page article about my story from a suburb in Sweden to the NYC fashion world and then over to a meditation hiatus in Burma and back again, here is a link to purchase the magazine.
I must say that even though it is hard to sit through four days of interviews with all together maybe twenty or so hours of questions - the process was very respectful and honest - much to the credit of Mattias Göransson the editor in chief who flew over to do the thing himself. He says he is working according to the classic American storytelling tradition “The Art of Hanging Around”.
Suited me fine - that’s what I do most anyway
And of course a picture of the guy taking a picture of me. Check out Martin Adolfsson
