BOOX ENCOUNTERS

ast year, Booxencounters acquired the Kary Lasch images archive containing six hundred thousand pictures. His specialty was finding new talents for the film and modeling industries. He also participated at the Cannes Film Festival for over thirty years, where his photography has stood out with pictures of famous actors or actresses in their golden years. We present three books in a set containing the Famous, Cannes, and Moods and Humorous, which shows Kary Lasch’s wide range of photographs. The folklore art of DALECARLIA is a fascinating expression cultivated in Dalarna County, where the locals had to work hard to survive in a poor area in Sweden. This painting style occurred from 1780 to 1870, almost a hundred years. The paintings have a Kristian expression mixed with local humor. RALPH ERSKINE–Buildings and Drawings is the work of one of England’s famous architects. His style is based on the user’s participation and environmental compatibility. He is one of the first architects that studied how buildings related physically and socially to their setting. In Chinese Porcelain and Marks, Christer Löfgren extends his analysis, which makes it possible to perform a statistical analysis of these objects. It is an incredible achievement that will allow Chinese porcelain to be evaluated and defined. It is his third book on this subject.

Kary H. Lasch was a photographer who based his international model scouting network in Stockholm. He is also known for his images of famous people like Picasso, Dali, Fellini, Sofia Lorens, and Birgitte Bardot. Kary visited the Cannes Film Festival consecutively for over thirty years. His humoristic pictures are less known. This book set of three, Famous, Cannes, and Humorous, is the beginning of a series of images from the Kary Lasch Collection, which contains over 600 000 pictures. Among his friends, Kary was known for his practical jokes that spared nobody, which are also reflected in his pictures. His search for new photographic angles is evident, as his love for his work. When Sofia Lorens was on her way to Stockholm by train from Copenhagen, Kary carried out his plan to embark the train in Copenhagen, bribed the concierge, and photographed Sofia while dressing in the train coupe. When they arrived in the Stockholm Central Station, the Swedish press was competing for the best position for a picture of Sofia and Kary looking out of the wagon’s window.

Kary H. Lasch, 1914–1993. He was of Czech origin but lived in Sweden from 1939 to the end of his life. He was active as a photographer from early 1950 to late 1980. He also was a great collector of many subjects, such as erotic art, postcards, paintings, and so on.

The folklore art of DALECARLIA slipcase – format 270mm x 304mm landscape pages 336 two books in slipcase isbn 978-91-985190-4-4 paperback – isbn 978-91-985190-0-6 Over time, the term Rose or Kurbits painting has changed in meaning, and today, most people think that it just means folklore painting.

The naive and figurative paintings had flourished in the years 1790–1870, almost a century. They originated from Dalarna county in Sweden but also spread in nearby regions. This style of folklore decorating, embroidered on walls, furniture, and other objects, was locally called “Rose paintings” and, later, “Kurbits paintings.” The text and images were derived from the local environment and religious motifs with a dash of humor incorporated by the painter. The whole family was involved in the process, and they had to produce their material themselves, making brushes and the paint and even making the buckets for the color. This work was essential as extra income for small homestead farmers as living conditions were meager. Being self-taught, as seen in the vast quality differences, some are brilliant painters, whereas others are mere scribblers. Still, there is an excellent variety of working methods that include wooden stamps, stencils, and even a full-color palette. One of the most internationally known objects is the wooden horse, the Dala-horse, painted in this folklore style.

Dalecarlia is a historical province in central Sweden that has a rich and unique folk culture. The word “Dalarna” means “the dales” (valleys).

The Clash of Graffiti and STREET ART

RALPH ERSKINE – Buildings and Drawings format 270mm x 304mm pages 336 in two books and slipcase slipcase – isbn 978-91-985190-5-1 paperback – isbn 978-91-985190-6-8 Skanskaskrapan (Skanska Scraper) at Lilla Bommen is an 86 m (282 ft) high post-modern high-rise referred to by local people from Gothenburg as Läppstiftet (The Lipstick). Ralph Erskine in coopera tion with White Architects.

Ralph Erskine, one of the twentieth century’s greatest architects, placed his focus on social regeneration and the interests of local people and their neighborhood. His work in Newcastle’s Byker estate gave the city one of Europe’s finest post Second World War new housing communities, where the local people were fully involved in the design. With the leadership of Louis de Soissons, he began as an architect, working with the design team for Welwyn Garden City. As a garden city and a new town, it has unique social and cultural planning ideals for the period. Erskine’s experiment with participation and environmental compatibility created a unique design and architecture with climatically controlled buildings. One of his latest buildings, The Ark, is a notable office building located in Hammersmith, London. His nume rous designs of innovative buildings in Sweden, Eng land, and Canada reflects his particular ideology. In this two book set, we find how Ralph Erskine’s buildings look today with Christer Löfgrens photography. The second book contains Erskine’s drawings on his most notable objects.

Ralph Erskine (February 24th 1914 – March 16th 2005) was a British architect and urban planner who lived most of his life in Sweden.

After his massive success on his round trip to Latin America, Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita returned to Japan in November 1933 with his fourth wife, Madeleine Lequeux. At age 27, she was a dancer at the Casino de Paris, one of the famous music halls of Paris. Foujita had moved to France and lived through the “Roaring Twenties” as an eccentric and highly successful painter. Eduardo D. de Arteaga met Foujita a couple of years earlier while participating in the great parties and masquerades in Paris. Arteaga was appointed as Charge des Affaires for Uruguay in Japan, and in 1933, they were united in Tokyo. Lequeux continued her career as a singer in Tokyo, where she tried to establish herself as a singer of French chansons. In October–November 1934, Foujita, Lequeux, and Arteaga made this cultural trip to Kobe, Kyoto, and the island of Itsukushima (厳島), popularly known as Miyajima (宮島), located in the northwest of Hiroshima Bay. On the island, there are many temples, but it is foremost known for its “floating” torii gate, the Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社), and the Toyokuni Shrine (豊国神社) with its five-storied pagoda.

BOOK 1 Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita

A Foujita Diary A friendly tripp to Miyajima year 1934 partisipants; Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita, Don Eduardo D. De Arteaga., and the model Madeleine Lequeux. After massive success on his round trip to Latin America, Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita returned to Japan in November 1933 with his wife, Madeleine Lequeux. At age 27, he had moved to France and lived through the ”Roaring Twenties” as an eccentric and highly successful painter, well known for his nude women and lovely cat paintings. In 1930, he married his fourth wife, the blue-eyed and red-haired dancer and singer Madeleine, with the artist name ”Panthère.” She was a dancer at the Casino de Paris, one of the famous music halls of Paris. He was fascinated by her stunning color and personality and made her famous by depicting her in drawings

and paintings. Together, they indulged in the social life in Tokyo, where Foujita had set up his studio in the garden of his sister. Madeleine continued her career as a singer in Tokyo, where she tried to establish herself as a singer of French chansons. In this environment, the couple reunited with their friend Don Eduardo D. de Arteaga. Eduardo met Foujita a couple of years Eduardo D. de Arteaga earlier, participating in the great parties and masquerades in Paris. Eduardo was stationed in Tokyo as the ambassador of Uruguay from 1932 to 1935. Foujita, Eduardo, and some friends embarked on the Japanese tradition of climbing Mount Fuji in the summer of 1934 to catch the sunrise in ”perfect concentration.” It is Japan’s highest and most prominent mountain, for Shintoism, the incarnation of the Gaia spirit. Later that year, Foujita, Madeleine, and Eduardo made another cultural trip to Kobe, Kyoto, and the island Itsukushima (厳島), popularly known as Miyajima (宮島), located in the southwest of Hiroshima Bay.

On the island, there are many temples, but it is foremost known for its ”floating” torii gate, the Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社), including the Toyokuni Shrine (豊国神社), with a five-storied pagoda. In 1928, The Japan Air Transportation Company provided commercial flights. Eduardo arrived in Osaka from Tokyo on an airplane and then Kobe, where he reunited with the couple at the Tor hotel. Located in the northern end of Kobe, the hotel had a splendid view over the bay. The hotel’s Madeleine Lequeux. style was Western, and it had Japanese and foreign residents. On the very same day, the friends visited the famous pagoda and temple Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺) in Kyoto and, after, Sumiya, an upper-class establishment in the courtesans’ district. They were entertained by a geisha while eating and drinking in the most beautiful example of the ”ageya” architecture in Japan, which is a National Treasure of Japan today. Late that night, the gang took the night train to Hiroshima in a ”wagon li.” After arriving at five o’clock in the night, they rode a transfer

BOOK 1

A Foujita Diary

n the first set of two books, Christer Löfgren analyzes and uncovers the mysteries of Chinese imperial reign marks. He dives deep into the origin and production of imperial marks and reveals the question marks of “mark and period.” With his extensive archive of “signs and marks,” he has created a manual that will be a beacon for every scholar and professional in the subject. Löfgren’s latest book, in this series, is Chinese Porcelain and Marks. Here, he discusses how to perform a statistical analysis of these objects. This is an incredible achievement that will be a milestone in evaluating Chinese porcelain.

Chinese Porcelain And Marks format 250mm x 190mm, portrait hardcover and 300 pages isbn 978-91-985190-7-5 A flambé-glazed vessel, Guang Xu (1875-1908), with rectangular lug, all covered in a crackled, streaked glaze of sang-de-boeuf tone, thinning to celadon and beige tones at the edges. 30 cm high.

This book will show a whole new interpretation of the term ”Mark and Period.” The content will change the image of what is called imperial porcelain, and will make a significant contribution to Chinese porcelain experts and collectors. The author Christer Löfgren extends the knowledge from being able to identify only marks on imperial porcelain, to also look at, objects associated with those marks. It is now possible for the first time to group all imperial items in all these periods, from Ming to the end of the Qing period. At the same time, you get the opportunity to see which items and marks are ”Mark and Period” or copies and pure counterfeits. The survey, based on a database of more than 5000 items and marks. This database makes it possible to perform a statistical analysis of these objects. The result shows that many of these articles, which are classified by expertise as ”Mark and Period,” are entirely wrong. They do not come from the period that the marks shows. Another result of the investigation is that most of the so-called ”Mark and Period” objects, remaining today, were manufactured during the late Qing period, after the Taiping uprising in the 1850s. It was probably only one major manufacturer in Jingdezhen who supplied all imperial porcelain to the court during this period.

Tidstypiska element i måleriet kan visa från vilken period ett förmål verkligen kommer ifrån, detta är något som man kan utnyttjas för bedömningen.

Manufacture No. 1 – 1860-1912

gamla kejserliga kännetecknas av att man tillverkade alla typer av föremål stora som små samtidigt. Det som kännetecknar produktionen vid ateljé 1 är att man bara tillverkade små skålar och fat. Att det vara samma kalligrafer som gav dessa föremål sina märken något som visar att de arbetade i en ateljé som bara utförde denna typ av föremål.

Manufacture No. 1 – ateljé 2

Index föremål från manufacture No. 1 finns i alla perioder från Kangxi till Xuantong, utom under Yongzheng perioden där var det manufacture No. 4 som står för huvudparten av förfalskade föremål. De flesta index föremål finns under olika märken från Daoguang perioden, men även under Qianlong perioden finns det rikligt med index föremål, se diagram nr 7. Antalet index föremål som finns i databasen är de flesta från Daoguang och Qianlong och de är mer i antal än de från hela Xianfeng-Xuantong perioden. Detta indirkerar att produktion av kopior och faks var större än leveranserna till hovet. Man kan också se hur produktionen från manufacture No. 1 var marknadsanpassad, för det finns ett överskott av Doucai föremål jämfört med antalet gula föremål, något man också kan se i alla de perioder som har index föremål. Förhållandet mellan Doucai och gula föremål är att det i genomsnitt finns ca tre gånger fler Doucai föremål än gula föremål, se diagram nr 9. Detta förhållande stämmer inte med de historiska källorna som beskriver hur produktionen utfördes vid de kejerliga ungnarna före Taiping upproret. Denna fördelning visar också att det är samma tillverkare som utfört dessa föremål. Detta visar också på hur manufacture No. 1 anpassade sig till efterfrågan och tillverkade de föremål som var populära under slutet av 1800-talet och var det Doucai föremål som efterfrågades mest.

Manufacture No. 1 hade troligen en mer modern tillverkning där man delade produktionen i olika grenar samt hade en form av serie tillverkning. När det gäller större förmål som vaser och urnor bildar dessa också en grupp av index föremål. Ett ytterligare tecken på detta är att det också var epciella kalligrafer som gjorde märkerna. Denna uppdelning finns hos kopiorna från de gamla perioderna, även detta visar på att dessa föremål ej är tillverkade under dessa perioder.

This supplier made lots of copies of items that went to the court, intending to sell all these copies in the open antique market. What distinguished these copies from those delivered to the court was that other imperial marks from earlier periods, were placed under these objects. It is these copies that we see today as ”Mark and Period” objects, especially from Daoguang, Qianlong, and Yongzheng period. This new knowledge, therefore, gives rise to a whole new designation of these so-called ”Mark and Period” objects, to become ”Mark and Period – with the wrong period.” By taking the articles, manufactured by this manufacturer, and use them as index items when you are researching the intended period. If there are index objects among these, it shows that something is wrong.

An imperial yellowglazed dish mark and period of Zhengde

After 15 years of work, Christer Löfgren has created a unique study that classifies Imperial reign marks on porcelain from the Qing to the Ming periods. His experience as an antique dealer, with a particular interest in Chinese porcelain, and as a geologist whose specialty is image processing, has laid the foundation for this study. The starting point was to create a database with large quantities, thousands of so-called ”mark and period” brands. The survey covers all the Ming emperors, from the 15th century to the last emperor during the Qing period, including Hongxian, until 1920. The hypothesis was that there were only a few artists behind these marks. According to the history of the manufacturing in Jingdezhen, it was a selected calligrapher that performed the marks and that they probably also had their peculiarities in the execution. The challenge was to be able to see what was unique for each calligraph.

Christer Löfgren is honorary-doctor at Luleå University of Technolog. Based in Stockholm he also has 15 years as an antique dealer with Chinese porcelain as speciality.

COMMENT ON MARK NO 1 The first thing you see in Wanli is a large number of calligraphers that should have been considerably fewer, even though Wanli is a long period of 48 years. It has always been popular to copy Ming objects to descendants of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. Besides, there was considerable interest from collectors and antique dealers at the end of the 19th century on acquiring Ming porcelain and mainly Wucai objects. Which gave rise to a large trade of copies and pure fakes, and it is likely that what we see in Wanli Brands. From the Xuande excavations, that 90% of the objects were blue-white or monochrome, in Wanli it is 93% blue-white, monochrome and Wucai, which is in line with Xuande, that instead Wucai for monochrome is a fashion issue. It is interesting that the imperial household still has the same proportions as Xuande. Another difference is that the plates predominate against the bowls in Wanli. Both in Wanli and Xuande, the number of yellow imperial items is very low. The number of pairs of bowls and dishes is twice as large as in the rest of Ming, which can also indicate that there are fakes and copies from recent times in Wanli.

n Christer Löfgrens images-archive, we have extracted a series of books with different themes. The first book in the catalog is The Clash of Graffiti and STREET ART, two books assembled in an extensive set of information on street art, and images from 36 countries. Next, we put together MAN – thoughts about humankind, a collection of three books containing reflections about humankind alongside a strong and engaging street-photo graphy portfolio. From North To The South Pole–LATITUDE is a compre hensive and fascinating trip in which we use Latitude as an initiative to travel around the world. It’s exciting and especially inspiring for the experienced globetrotter. CHINA 1970, 2000, and Tibet, a trilogy spanning from 1974 to percent, describes the magnitude of developments from rural areas to high-tech cities and modern living. As the trilogy shows, China is moving at high speed.

In this set of two books–slipcase, Christer Löfgren uses a new approach to explore the art of graffiti and wall paintings. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, this collection of photographs manifests his excellent in the documentation of the subject. Once again he finds a new expression of his photography. This time, documenting the collective knowledge of Graffiti and Street Art. It stretches over 36 countries and in remote places as the Antarctic, Greenland, and Svalbard. The first book is explaining the methods and motives behind the artists. Today, when graffiti is a criminal act and at the same moment accepted by the community as inspiring as any art before. The second book is showing the many variations of expressions of artistic endeavor in counties all over the globe. It is not just the more prominent countries that express the knowledge of mastering this genre. The expression is widespread all over the communities in the world, with more or less artistic hight.

Photographer Christer Löfgren is based in Stockholm Sweden and has produced 16 books in various fields. His specialty is in travel and street photography.

BOOK 1 The Clash of Graffiti and

STREET ART

STREET ART Firstly, this is not an academic “och scholar” approach to a book about graffiti or street art. When Christer Löfgren, extensively traveled the world, he started to collect these images. The interesting thing is, what we have in this presentation, is that when you begin to gather something, objects, art or stories, it creates fascination and it generates curiosity. We are ponded by media, governments, family, and friends about what is usually their view or their opinion. In this case, our idea is not only looking to what’s considered “best” or “famous,” instead of looking at the global and widespread effect of graffiti and street art. The result is a magnitude of engagement, love, humor, skill, manifestation, propaganda, hate, religion, philosophy, naive and insightful expression. It is fascinating and mostly, beautiful and lovable.

CAMPAIN A genre in Street Art is oriented toward the

traditional partisan information based on -ism and political content. The idea is usually represented by icons like Che Guevara and Mao or Obama. The message is at the doorstep, grounded in political activism, and it is hard to know if it is art or propaganda.

THE BLUE PENIS Legally it was painted on a commercially established building wall, with many street art paintings earlier exposed on the same wall, which meant that there was no need to consult with the residents and neighbors living with the view. The organization ”Kollektivet Livet” got the wall from the owner of the building and uses it as a propaganda for Street Art and Graffiti. The art pieces are up to six months or less on the wall. This time the artist Caroline Falkholt where chosen and she painted the penis in just a couple of hours. In 2017 Caroline had painted the same object, but in pink, on a building in New York. The day after it was taken down, overpainted, after a rage from New York-residents. So, when she got the assignment in Stockholm on the five-story-apartment building, she thought it was a resurrection of her idea. She believed that with its subject sex – ”people should consider what it is they are so upset about and talk about it”. In an interview, a neighbor, an older person explained – ”at my age, I don’t want to think about sex, not even look at it”. Falkholt told, in an interview in the Guardian, that her work is often about ”not feeling ashamed of your body and who you are as a sexual being.” After articles in the newspaper and a sparing debate under a week, the painting consequently reached the same verdict as in New York. 66

Nr 1 MAN – thoughts about mankind Documentary photography, buried last century, the credibility vanished with the exploration of the software Photoshop. The notion of manipulated photos made it impossible to judge it’s authenticity. Never the less, documentary photography has not drowned in the world of photo manipulation, and there is still an interest in documentation and ”straight photography.” In this set of books, Christer Löfgren explores, with a new approach, the emotions of humankind. His excellent and aggressive uncensored pictures revile the pure expression of humanity.

Humankind, and the camera The most significant paradigm in the art of photography is the shift from analog to digital. Young generations today have lost the fascinating process of the film, water, chemicals, and paper. They have lost the magic that appears in front of your eyes when you put the exposed paper into the developer. Within ten seconds, the picture slowly begins to appear, and if you have made the right exposure, it is fully developed within two minutes. How the film is exposed is still a mystery; the physical and chemical reaction has still not been revealed. Compared with sketches and paintings, pictures were created untouched by any hands and “drawn with light.” The handicraft of photography started with imitating the theories of old-school paintings. With its short history of almost two hundred years, it has had a remarkable development. The first news photograph, which was made in France 1847 and published in the Journées illustrées de la révolution de 1848, is considered the first image used to illustrate a news story and the first example of photojournalism. A few years later in 1855, Roger Fenton, along with his assistants and equipment, was engaged in the Crimea War as an official campaign photographer paid for by the British government. This was the first historical attempt to portray a war campaign. Due to the limitations of the photographic techniques of the period, it was hard to capture the devastation of the war. But still, the realism of Fenton’s photos surpassed text descriptions, drawings or paintings as journalistic evidence. The cumbersome equipment Fenton carried with him in his van, his mobile darkroom, were 700 glass plates, five large format cameras and cases of photographic equipment and supplies.

pictures, Lewis Hine used his camera as a tool for social reform and was funded by the government. Documentary photography usually covers a theme or topic and is published in an essay or reportage to politically emphasize the content. The ease of roll film cameras made thousands of artists and amateurs guilty of appearing in photos. Arnold Genthe, who was born in Berlin 1869 and moved to Califonia in 1894, is considered one of the first in the genre “street photography.” With his small handheld camera and no experience in photography, he photographed the inhabitants of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Pictures of Old Chinatown (1908) is the first publication of his wandering the streets of Chinatown with a hidden camera. In Europe’s late 19th and early 20th centuries, Paul Martin turned the lens to everyday life to produce “snapshots.” He used a fixed-focus detective camera camouflaged to look like a brown paper parcel he carried under one arm. He wrote, “it is impossible to describe the trill which taking the first snap without being noticed gave one.” At the time, these kinds of mundane images were considered “beneath dignity” or shocking. The outbreak of easy handheld cameras made it possible to take “straight photography,” which later became a movement popularized by Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand. In the 1930s, the West Coast Photographic Movement, with its hyper-realistic images, adopted Edvard Weston, Ansel Adams, and their friends and colleagues, members of Group f/64, who went on to dominate modernist photographic aesthetics into the 1970s. Documentaries and street photography have similarities but manifest differences in motivation and style: a documentary is

Photographic processes at the time were elaborate and cumbersome. With the invention of the photographic process, the documentary genre was born. The next camera evolution, from Fenton’s heavy to the first roll film camera, resulted in the birth of the amateur photographer. In 1881, farmer Peter Houston from Wisconsin, U.S.A invented the roll film camera. In close collaboration with George Eastman, Peter’s brother David created the roll film holder used in the Kodak No. 1 box camera (1888), the first easy-to-use camera. “You press the button; we do the rest” was their motto. In the early twentieth century, the Pictorialist movement in photography was still dominant. The beginning of “straight photography” was emerging. Through politically motivated 4

journalistic and street photography is candid. Henri CartierBresson was responsible for the term “decisive moment.” As a 20th-century photographer associated with the postwar humanist school, he focused on form, content, vision, and composition, which inspired successive generations of photographers. Swiss-American photographer Robert Frank published his book The Americans in 1958, through the French publisher Robert Delpire in Paris. Robert Frank was inspired by Walker Evans’s work, in 1938-41, with a 35mm Contax camera hidden beneath his coat, a photo series of images from New York Subway. Evans’s book Many Are Called was not published until 1966. Frank traveled across the United States in 1955-57, after receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship, to photograph its society. It took two years, and 83 images were printed in his book. It is perhaps the most influential photography book of the 20th century. It received substantial criticism when it was finally published in the United States in 1959. This edition was published without the introducing text of Jack Kerouac, an iconoclast of the Beat Generation. “Meaningless blur, grain, muddy exposures, drunken horizons and general sloppiness.” cited from Popular Photography. Frank moved away from photography to concentrate on filmmaking, but in 1972, he published his second book The Lines of My Hand, a “visual autobiography” consisting of personal photographs. He had given up “straight” photography and, instead, created collages and constructed pictures. The influence of Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson is immense. Inspired by Frank in the 1960s, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, and Joel Meyerowitz began

Today, in the twenty-first century, with the explosion of the information society and where the digital camera has become an everyday commodity.

A group of people can be a haven or a nightmare. It seems that the nature of human beings changes character when entering a group, history has shown.

In these three chapters, photographer Christer Löfgren explores the geographic term Latitude. From the North to the South is a collection of images that show the diverse and multifaceted world in which we live. These colorful and excellent photographs are a lovely source with which to broaden our vision and understand the complex and beautiful world as a global whole. When one matches the pictures of various cultures, the diversity among countries is more noticeable. A country’s colors, clothes, food, and events help to identify its origin. The further North or South of the equator you travel, the paler the colors that used, and the milder and less spicy the food is. The more extreme nature is, the more difficult their lifestyle is, marked by long hours of hard work. Most people who live in warmer countries agree that sunshine is a significant factor that contributes to their well-being. High temperatures and blue skies are in demand for travelers. In Spain, “the siesta” is a way of living. In rough climates where humans don’t thrive, nature dominates the terrain. Where animals flourish, people fail.

View of The North Pole

from the north to the south pole In the documentary group of photography, one type is travelphotography. This type is undertaken by a rare crowd of photographers who travel all around the world, some with assignments, and others on their own expense. They can easily be mistaken for amateurs photographers, but on the contrary, their work is comprehensive and well directed, which makes it a body of work. Today, when the word ”globalization” unites or separates, and there is increasing interaction of countries, cultures, and people, the world does not seem the same. The differences between states seen through the eye of the camera make a clear statement of diversity and cultural pluralism. The body of work takes years to fulfill, with numerous questions asked and experiences to be condense into an exhibition or a book. The social and cultural aspects, as well as the economic, have a profound impact on the modern way of living. Migration is not something new in history, but today we have a more complicated situation with the internet, bitcoins, inexpensive airway tickets, and photography that emphasize the globalization impact. Nations like Bangladesh, Vietnam, China, Brazil, and India show a new face to the world. China, for example, surpassed the United States of America as a premier economic trader, with post offices around the earth crumbling with Chinese imports of goods. Also, China manages to produce and build 53 airports in one year, unheard of in humanity. Articles like ” Travel Photography Tips” or ”Top 10 Rules of Travel Photography” even ”Get paid to travel: become a travel photographer”

breathing time for thinking is just kindergarten for the plentiful. There is an immense list of travelers in history, from the fourth century BC to modern time. Xuanzang (602- 664), a Buddhist monk, the first real travel writer who documented his trips with paper and pencil, would have loved to have a camera on his journeys. Consider if Marco Polo (1254–1324) had had a camera onboard his ship--what a sensation it would have been! Currently, we have people like Anthony Bourdain, with a film team, bombarding your television with street food culture from all around the globe. With outer space as the final experience, costing a fortune, travelers will proclaim their uniqueness. The necessity of documenting the always changing world with photography seems more crucial than ever when cultures are globalized. In countries like Peru or Tibet, you can see sneakers and T-shirts instead of traditional clothing. The change is immense, heartbreaking, and seen all around the globe. How will it affect us in the long term, and when will it become irreversible? What’s clear is that the change is happening at a rapid speed. The coverage in travel photography is usually free from political bias. Nevertheless, it is as important as ordinary coverage, or sometimes more, because it presents a more objective description, free to be interpreted in many ways, used in studies and for education, and stored for the future. The travel photographer has the drive that gives her or him an advantage: ”It has to be done.”

Maybe you will find your self with Grizzly bears in the Kamchatka peninsula, instructed by the expert not to be afraid (51.41 N Russia). Or, perhaps, going down in a bunker in Vietnam searching for remains from the Vietnam War. The world is a prominent place; it will take time and effort to concur. In general, it is ”wanderlust” that drives the travel photographer, similar to the never-ending touring rock star, to investigate the earth with the camera as a primary tool. The human aspect always in the center; people, cultures, and linguistics, all immense. In the world today there is +7000 languages documented, but every two weeks endangered languages disappear from earth not to recur. An always changing world. The approach is systematic, and the long collecting of trips, stories, and events makes the genuine travel photographer. This photographer is usually equipped with light equipment: camera body, two lenses, and accessories, for compactness and convenience. These can be fit into a cabin case, so there is no need for checking in baggage. Fast transportation to the starting point, all ready to go. Long excursions in remote areas demand something else: research, maps, new equipment, help from natives and a right spirit when something goes wrong. When a booking of the hotel did not go through or when the plane left without you has to be fixed with a smile. Adventure traveling is a new way of getting out of your comfort zone, but it should not be compare with the travel photographer. Buying a trip from an agency that has you booked from five in the morning to late in the evening with no

are simulating or imitating the self-conscious and hard working travel photographer with a destine and a goal to show the true nature of the world. The separation of the amateur and the actual travel photographer, only to be found in the body of work. Of course, major influences derived from monumental photographers like Henry Cartier Bresson, William Eugene Smith, Sebastião Salgado and others is a significant voice and support for becoming a motivated and influential photographer. There is no geographical limitation to travel photography, mainly the cost of moving by airplane, living, and possibilities like catch the last vehicle to the South Pole before the temperature is dropping below astonishing 60 Celsius. Also get used to the high altitude of 3000 meters. It is the coldest place on earth, temperature dropping below -80 Celsius in July. Still, people are working there, and coming back every year, for their experimentation on research facilities like the Atmospheric Research Observatory or the South Pole Telescope. If you are lucky someone will allow you to enter the station, and show you around. Don’t forget you have to bring your one food for the stay. In the North Pole, there is even more to consider, polar bears, the Arctic sea and caveating. You have to travel by icebreakers, probably nuclear. Two weeks is an entire trip, there and back, just to stay only for a couple of hours. The North Pole is situated in the middle of Arctic Ocean contrary to the South Pole, located on a continental land mass. In the middle of summer, the temperature is a couple of degrees over zero, with a record high of 14 Celsius.

Word Origin and History for latitude In Latin, the old word ”latitudo”(14c) means ”breadth, width, extent, size.” In the context of maps, it is defined, geographically, as an imaginary line around the earth, running parallel to the planet’s equator, where the equator is the 0 degree, and the north (N) and south (S) poles have a latitude of 90°. The distance of a degree latitude is about 111 km. So, the figures, for the north is 90.00 N, and the south is 90.00 S. London is on the latitude 50°30 N, and Cape town is on 33°55 S at the South hemisphere.

Nr 2 Latitude – a cultural dividor When one matches the pictures of various cultures, the diversity among countries is more noticeable. A country’s colours, clothes, food, and events help to identify its origin. The further North or South of the equator you travel, the paler the colors that are used, and the milder and less spicy the food is. The colder the weather, the less variation there is in their nutrition and lifestyles. The more extreme nature is, the more laborious their lifestyle is, being marked by long hours of hard work. It is also necessary to have a big family that can support and contribute, which makes life easier. Most people who live in warmer countries agree that sunshine is a significant factor that contributes to their well-being. States like New Zealand, Australia or Ecuador, brag about there pleasant lifestyles, with sun all year round. High temperatures and blue skies are in demand for travelers. In Spain, ”the siesta” is a way of living. A short nap at midday is a common tradition in warm countries, especially when the sun is at its zenith, namely 90 degrees above them, and when the shadows vanish from under the viewer.

Nr 3 Latitude – the southern hemisphers The southern hemisphere is different in many ways from the northern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere is made up of 80% water and 19.1% of the land, yet it still includes parts of five of the seven continents. Summer lasts from December to March and winter extends from June to September. You have to be well-prepared to visit the lower parts of the southern hemisphere. In rough climates where humans don’t thrive, nature dominates the terrain. Where animals flourish, people fail. Long-term planning and good organization are key to survival. For a local, it just seems natural to adapt to the circumstances the way earlier generations did. It takes weeks to travel to South Georgia, 1,300 km north-west from the nearest point of the Falkland Islands, and find a base left there by the whaling industry. Birds like the wandering albatross fly hundreds of miles with the occasional flap of their wings. In the hardest weather, the albatross is one of the most efficient travelers in the animal world.

CHINA – seen through a photographer’s eyes slipcase – format 270mm x 304mm landscape pages 336 in three books and slipcase slipcase – isbn 978-91-984651-6-7 paperback – isbn 978-91-984651-7-4 (336 pages)

With Christer Löfgren’s unique images of China, this set of three books illustrates the different way of life in the Middle Kingdom during the final stage of the Cultural Revolution from 1974 until the present day. Rare are those of the “Red Flag Canal” during the time when Mao still lived and influenced life in China. It was a massive canal building made by poor farmers who needed water for their farming in the dry valleys. Also, big cities like Beijing and Shanghai were completely without cars or high-rise buildings. Pictures from the 1990s show the first steps in rapid development; bicycles completely dominate the streets of the big cities, and new buildings grow up like mushrooms. With the significant expansion of modernity in China today, we get a close-up of how people live, both in towns and in the country. Further, we go up to the Tibetan high plateau, residing at the edge of the world’s most upper mountain range. Here, you get a close-up of how the people live. Through these images, you get an idea of t he tremendous development in China and Tibet.

Christer Löfgren participated in the first excursion 1974 on an invitation from the Chinese Geological department for scientific exchange with the University of Stockholm. As a geologist and photographer he traveled extensively in China.
