Elevator Grins with Ulf

This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, taken on October 17, 2023. It captures a candid moment with my longtime friend, Ulf Nordlander, in the elevator of his building. Ulf is wearing his iconic black leather jacket over a mustard yellow corduroy shirt, topped off with sunglasses that give him a cool, effortless vibe. He’s trying to smile, showing his teeth, but it’s one of those “are we really doing this?” kinds of smiles. You know, the ones that make the moment even more authentic. You can spot my arm in the reflection as I snap the picture through the elevator’s mirror, a reminder that I was behind the camera, enjoying this spontaneous interaction.

This photo was taken on a random day, nothing particularly special about the occasion. But moments like these with Ulf always end up being memorable in their own way. There’s something about the confined space of an elevator and a quick laugh that turns an ordinary moment into something worth remembering. The dark, metallic backdrop of the elevator gives the photo an urban feel, while Ulf’s outfit stands out with that perfect blend of rugged leather and vintage corduroy. 

Featuring Ulf Nordlander, this picture captures the little moments between friends that we don’t usually plan but somehow mean so much. We didn’t set out to take this photo; it just happened, and I think that’s what makes it special. It’s not about perfect lighting or the ideal background—it’s about the realness, the laugh behind Ulf’s “forced” smile, and the reminder that sometimes, the best photos are the unplanned ones.

This photo reminds me how important it is to hold onto everyday moments. It’s a reflection of my friendship with Ulf, which spans over three decades, and how those small, random moments help cement the memories we cherish. It’s not just a snapshot—it’s a piece of our ongoing story.
