Stig Svensson: 

ABU photographer (from 1970....)

©Photographs© ...  (many hitherto unpublished) 

I have been very fortunate to have been given these digitised images covering most of Stig's professional work as a photographer.
One other DVD  copy exists I believe but as time permits I will size and upload here for ABU fans to enjoy.
As there are nearly 1500 folders with thousands of images  in total, I will select those that I have not seen before and maybe were never published anywere before.
 
Getting to know Stig's grandson Christoffer Nord, was instrumental in making the connection.

I actually met with Stig who is hale and hearty in his 90's now when I was nearby his home in Assarum while visting  Svangsta.
Through interpreter Uffe Edefur, we each enjoyed learning from one another.
Stig informed me he was on the Dream Trip fishing in Ireland, and still has the 16mm film he took. Maybe one day that will linked here too.

So...small thumbnails hyperlinking to larger images. I should point out these images are to be enjoyed for what they are but not lifted to publish elsewhere. ©
