ENTRY DESCRIPTION
If you have ever been at the savannah in Africa, you can sometimes see these lonley animals who are wandering around all by themselves without friends or any other animal nearby. Our guide taught us that they were "the outcasts". The animals that have been cast out from their pack, and now live all by themselves for the rest of their lives. Yes, the animal kingdom can sometimes be very cruel, but that does not necessarily have to mean that the rule: "the strongest survives" have to be applied on us humans. We are not meant to be all by ourselves, but we have to take care of the people that don't have any friends or relatives close to their side. Instead of being as this beautiful, but very lonley deer on the picture, why not be someones "deerest" friend instead?

AUTHOR
I have always had an eye for details, and an interest of photographing since I got my first digital camera as an 13-year old girl, but I never truly believed that I could one day call myself for a photographer, until I reached an age of 16. It was during the time in High School as my interest for photographing actually started to take some professional turns, mostly because of having a teacher that is one of the most well-known photographers in Sweden, but also by believing that creativity is actually a gift that God is putting down in every individual, in different areas.
I am still in the early stages in photographing, but as I look back at the last four years, one can see how the hand of God has lead me up to this time. I've got the privilege of being a wedding-photographer three times, and back in 2011, I were in Africa, Uganda, at a kind of prayer/"seeing the culture"-trip, which also made the photographing bloom even more.
Being a photographer is not perhaps the ultimate calling of my life, but even if it's not, it does not mean that one cannot have passions in life! As a christian I certainly believe that it is necessary for each person to be able to express creativity in one way or another, then my God is the master of creativity.
So, my biography, my life history is only about one thing. It is not about me, it is not about what I do, it is only about pointing on Him who made everything for me. That is why I photograph, to show the splendor, and the majesty of my King, Jesus.
