MUST

As usual, I am playing with words that have many meanings. Christmas must(soda) is popular at this time of year in Sweden, but these days my thoughts are more towards the Swedish Military Intelligence and Security Service (MUST). The last week´s news is reminiscent of Guillou’s books with revealed infiltration of foreign spies in Sweden. The world of fiction became reality. A quick raid was carried out on a villa where a Russian couple was arrested. At the same time, a trial is underway against a pair of brothers suspected of passing sensitive military information to Russia. What would have happened if they had been allowed to continue? It is similar to Al-Qaeda’s way of infiltrating ordinary everyday life. And it ended as we remember with 9/11.

During the pandemic, I have been modest about traveling. I have revived memories from previous journeys that have been very intense and rich in content. There are some photos that I haven’t shown yet, but reality sets in, and below is a World War I photo. People fleeing to safer areas somewhere in Europe. It is more than a hundred years ago and media has developed rapidly. I am very interested in photography and was able to follow the development of the camera at that museum. Looking at the photo below, there is something that unites the past with the present. The feelings seem to be the same. Moreover, I had the opportunity to dream away for a while and was photographed in a time that since long is gone.
