Wedding in the archipelago.

Had the honor to be photographer at HannaKristin and Johns wedding in the summer of 2006.  The ceremony and the dinner took place at the beautiful island of Hönö. It is situated in the archipelago just outside Gothenburg on the swedish west coast.

Let´s dance with Adriana Mendes

Adriana Mendes started to dance at the age of five in her home country Brazil . She came to Sweden some years ago with the strong determination to create a dance school.

Thanks to skills, patience and energy (like a small nuclear plant) she is now the owner of a very popular dans school in Gothenburg named Adrianas Danshus
A month ago she won the price Settler of the year, pioneer in the west 2011

The Governor of the region handed over the price at a special ceremony in the residence in central Gothenburg.

In the picture: Adriana and her brother Aldo (also a skilled dancer) teaching salsa at Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg/Sweden. (click on photo to see hi res version)

Julia

Julia lives in the small village of Enriquillo, on the southwestern coastline of Dominican Republic.

I was told that she won a small fortune in the national lottery some years ago. Being illiterate, unaccustomed to numbers and perhaps a bit credulous, the money vanished in less than a year.

She kept talking about this and that, but the one expression she
repeated over and over was  “y.. que no me venga nadie a decirme que no haya un Dios..”  I dont want to hear anyone say that there is no God !
