May I present my mate Marcus in Piteå, Norrbotten. Photo taken back in 2022. For many years I have documented Swedish skinheads and have had a few small exhibitions in Göteborg and Öland. My idea is to document the wide variety of personalities that exists within the culture, with different lives, plans and dreams. I usually let the people speak for themselves, but Marcus hasn't spoken up yet (I hope one day he will), so at the moment the photos of him will have to speak for themselves. Skinhead culture is one of the most multicultural cultures there are, within its own frames. We exist all around the world and we come in a variety of colours and shapes. We truly connect beyond borders. All because of the clash between jamaican music and british working class style back in the 60's. Eventhough I myself am a quite lonely skin far away from the next one, I am forever thankful for being part of it and for all the good people it has brought into my life. Such as Marcus.

Seeing the question regarding first phones…

I go back to The Peabody, which still does use Rotary phones and the telephone booths.

If I had a $1 for every time I had to take photos of folks in these… I’d already he halfway to my fundraising goal this year.

($325-ish).
