Swedish photographer Georg Oddner died about a month ago, just a few days before turning 84.
Personally, I discovered he’s work only a few years ago, when I happened to buy his book “Genomresa” (In transit). This monumental book is a retrospective of Oddners work in all its breadth: glamour, travel, war-reports, portraits, street photography – and all of it to a constantly high standard.
Even if you are unable to read Swedish, “Genomresa” is highly recommendable. It’s a treasure-trove of excellent photography.
Oddner was an inhabitant of Malmö most of his life, and the city museum takes care of his legacy. For some examples of his work, you could also visit the newspaper Sydsvenskan.
Jeg har læst din blog om Georg Oddner og fik lyst til at købe bogen “Genomresa”. Ved du hvor den kan købes?

Hej Kirsten
Jeg ved ikke, hvor den kan købes i Danmark – prøv evt. at søge på en af net-boghandlerne.
Ellers kan du bestille den direkte hos Malmö Museer, via linket ovenfor. Den koster 550 SKR, hvilket er ganske rimeligt for en fotobog af den kaliber. Men den er jo tung, så der kommer nok en desværre en del til i forsendelse…
Held og lykke
