Vintage Postcards: Hotell Arkaden
The back of a folded postcard from hotel Arkaden in Malmö, Sweden. I guess it's from the 50s. See the front and the middle at Stationsvakt.

GIF Animations: Drinking with Max
GIF animation made by myself.
"How to skoal with style. Swedish film star Max von Sydow engages his drinking partner's gaze. Tipping his glass backward, von Sydow drains the chilled aquavit in one deceptively cool gulp. Lowering the glass to the level from which he raised it, von Sydow again meets his companion's eyes."
Cooking Issues: "The photos appeared in “The Cooking of Scandinavia” one of the books in the amazing Time Life series Foods of the World. The shooter was none other than Richard A. Meek, one of the original roster of Sports Illustrated photographers."
