  City of utility
  by timeUnit

  Göteborg, Sweden is the country’s second largest city. It’s the biggest port in Scandinavia, and has always been a city in use. Göteborg is not a pretty or picturesque city, but the industry, the sea and the harbor creates a certain atmosphere. I hope I can capture that atmosphere in my night time photographs. (Below the image is a text that says “City of utility 2009 Henning Sjögren / timeunit.se” in a tasteful font (FF Bau) and light gray color.)

  Eje’s sign
  by timeUnit

  This old neon sign is just a few blocks away from my apartment. I pass it quite often, and saw it deteriorate over the years. Neon signs are more rare here these days, and I thought this one would be taken to the junk yard soon, so I got out and photographed it with my Hasselblad. As I stood there waiting for my exposure to finish, a man in his fifties approached me. I could tell he had had a few drinks and was prepared for a type of “conversation” I’d rather avoid. But the man was very friendly and told me he knew the guy who had built this neon sign. His name was Eje and he was a short, stout man with “fists of steel”. A boxer in his younger years, apparently. The nice man thought it was good that I photographed the sign, and we agreed it would not hang there for long. And sure enough, just a few weeks later it was removed. But I was in for a surprise. A few months later the sign reappeared in beautiful condition. I guess more people than I like neon signs. (Below the image is a text that says “Eje’s sign 2008 Henning Sjögren / timeunit.se” in a tasteful font (FF Bau) and medium gray color.)

  Triple Duett
  by timeUnit

  The Volvo car company is much part of Göteborg’s heritage. The factory has been one of the biggest employers in the city for more than forty years. Many models have come and gone, but the Duett is one of the more memorable. I found this matt black, evil-looking Duett on the same street I grew up. (Below the image is a title and a text that says “As seen on Koopman street, Göteborg, Sweden. The Volvo Duett was produced from 1953 to 1969 at the Volvo factory in Göteborg, Sweden. Forty years later, this matt black station wagon makes a brazen presence on the streets of its home town. photography by Henning Sjögren / timeunit.se”. Please note that the right image contains text with explicit language.)

  A Second A Day
  by timeUnit

  This is one of the few successful infrared images I’ve taken, so far. The summers in Sweden can be quite rainy, which is less than ideal for infrared imaging. I have my hopes up for this coming summer, though!

  A new shift
  by timeUnit

  Photographing the old shipyard on the north bank of the Göta River was more difficult than I had anticipated. First, there were practical difficulties. In this time of hidden threats, terrorists, etcetera, most of the really interesting parts of the shipyard, which is still in use, was surrounded by barbed wire. I couldn’t get very close to the enormous cranes and dry docks. Then there was the difficulty of exposing the infrared film. I haven’t shot IR film in a while so 10 out of 11 frames were badly overexposed. Incidentally, it was the exact opposite when I shot my last roll a couple of years ago. At least I got one decent image – a few workers leaving their shift in the afternoon sun.
