"The mobilephone alarm wakes me up. It´s near the pillow outside the sleepingbag, so I can turn of the alarm really fast. It´s still dark outside the tent. My daughter and my best friend Calle is still sleeping i their sleeping bags, good. It´s 3 O´clock in the morning. It´s time to go. The camera is in order. Everything is planed yesterday. The optics is polish and cleaned. I´m going out of the tent ready to face another lovely photosection or just a dull gray morning with fresh air. Everything is up to the weather, the wind and the light.

This is the story behind "Black-headed Gull in morninglight" in the Beautiful Sweden I album. My name is Erik Groundstroem and I love photography.

I mostly work with Naturephotography, but also regular photography. I like all types of photography as portrait, animal photography, creative productphotgraphy. The main thing about my photography is that it´s supporse to feel personal. I only work with digital pictures and equipment. I also preform lectures, teaching and private photosections.
