I am glad to present these selected works of Jan Bernhardtz. It is a great visual experience to enter the world of this fine photographer. His way of seeing is original, often humorous and optimistic without any trace of cynicism or the shallowness you sometimes find among the "flaneur photographers".

I see compassion and sympathy for all of us in his images - a true humanistic approach. The pictures on show cover more than 30 years of the works of Jan Bernhardtz. It is good to see you here Jan.

Coming, planned exhibition: Fotokompaniet Göteborg in July 2009 if I go ahead. I am trying to convince a friend to join me in this. We'll see.
Inspiration (photographers): I find many photographers inspiring. Just to name a few: Roger Ballen, Christer Strömholm, Bill Brandt, Pieter Hugo and Diane Arbus
Inspiration (other): Since my hearing has become awfully faint during the last years, I can no longer enjoy music. I can enjoy other arts though:)
Film, digital or both: mostly film but I own a digital camera.
Quote:"It is the art of SEEING that is the starting point for all creativety and then, of course, every profession is subject to its specific mathematics and material conditions". - Christer Strömholm
