HelsingborgsLiv

Har ni läst ”The story of my life”? Detta är en fortsättning.

Here I am sitting by my desk at the newspaper Helsingborgs Dagblad. Today I shall tell you about my long career in the newsbusiness.

It all started when I was educated to a photographer. At that time you looked like a doctor when you developed your pictures.

I think it was my mother who inspired me, she took a lot of pictures.

I liked to cover sport, then I had an possibility to travel. Here I am at the San Siro footballarena in Milano. You feel a bit small in that big stadium.

Photographing was a tough job. It was all about winning or loosing. The looser here is Thomas Löfqvist photographer at Sydsvenskan.

I tried to travel around the world several times, and write about it. But I never manage to go all the way, tropical deseases and homesickness stopped me.

After ten years as a photographer I became a writer instead, and interviewed a lot of famous people.

Once I shook hands with the queen.

The king is a funny guy, we have had some great parties.

I wrote about the polluted air before Al Gore could spell the word greenhouse-effect.

I have done a lot of investigating journalism.

My job can be very glamorous.

And also really dangerous.

But someone has to do it…

(En del av bilderna är tagna av fotograferna på HD.)

Once upon a time there was a little boy called Peter.

He used to show his father all the good things he could do.

And he loved his mother more than anything else in the world.

As a teenager he had a hairstyle that his father didn’t like.

He joined the elite troops and defended the country against the Russian threat. It was during the cold war you know.

Then he began to work as a photographer and took pictures of Ralf Edström.

He also liked to write and traveled in many countries.

He interviewed people who lived in big houses…

… and in small houses.

Every time he traveled in Asian countries he got ränneskita and other painful diseases.

After many years on the road he settled down with a lovely wife who got two kids.

They got one more child…

and then another child.

Life became a bit messy.

And he got very tired.

Now the kids are quite big and he can spend his spare time watching football on tv.
