This is my on-going project. People today in Sweden during the 2020s. People living their ordinary lifes, trying to follow their dreams or visions - meanwhile there are wars going on in our world, plus all other threats that we hear about everyday. All photographs are taken in my studio with a classic canvas background like Irving Penn used to do. I want to somehow mirror our contemporary society on a very small scale through these portraits.

Photographs from a Pow Wow in North Dakota, from Black Hills, and from Chief Sitting Bull's burial places, both in South Dakota and North Dakota where he was murdered.

I have been studying the wild horses in their natural environment in the USA. I am fascinated and a strong admirer of this strong, iconic symbol of freedom. I do hope it will keep on roaming free on public lands. © Jenny Christenson. All rights reserved. Images/posters can be bought.

Poem by Fröding - Skrömt Här fråger di, va Skrömt ä! Va Skrömt ä? Va Skrömt ä? Dä ä te fråge dumt. Ja, vell I se va Skrömt ä, va Skrömt ä, va Skrömt ä, så vänt te dä blir skumt! För än ä dä små gôbber, sôm feschler bak mä stôbber, dä söker gömt, gömt, gömt! Å än bakôm en bôske ett kvennfôlk mä a rôske te rygg, dä ä Skrömt, dä ä Skrömt. Å än ä dä ett skimten, ett flämten, ett glimten, dä lyser vitt, vitt, vitt, dä ä små vite töser, som danser bak mä röser, di titter ut, titt, titt. Å än så ser en syner tå horn å tå tryner, dä grömter grömt, grömt, grömt. Men en ska inte titt nô, för da så blir dä itnô, nä inte dä minste tå Skrömt. Va Skrömt ä, va Skrömt ä? Jo dä ä allt, sôm dömt ä, ja allt sôm Gu ha dömt, ja allt, sôm Gu ha dömt te å skrömte å skrömte i ävie tier ä Skrömt!
