You twitch because your brain is reacting to your pulse going down and it sends out like… some kind of signal to resuscitate you? Sometimes I scream when that happens.

Or when I get scared by something when I wake up.My girlfiend came over last week and I was asleep so she just walked in, and when I woke up she was there, staring at my face, made me scream. A lot.ML: Do you think it has anything to do with your photos?HBG: Nope.ML: Do you have any habits when you shoot?HBG: Usually I just shoot people I know unplanned, just… when I’m with them, doing whatever, I have trouble with arranging images.

HAMPUS BOVBJERG-GRIP: You know the thing that your body does sometimes when you’re just falling asleep? You twitch because your brain is reacting to your pulse going down and it sends out like… some kind of signal to resuscitate you? Sometimes I scream when that happens. Or just when I’m having a nightmare, or when I get suddenly woken up. Or when I get scared by something when I wake up.
My girlfiend came over last week and I was asleep so she just walked in, and when I woke up she was there, staring at my face, made me scream. A lot.

ML: Do you think it has anything to do with your photos?
HBG: Nope.

ML: Do you have any habits when you shoot?
HBG: Usually I just shoot people I know unplanned, just… when I’m with them, doing whatever, I have trouble with arranging images. The landscape/nature-shots or the ‘industrial’ shots on the other hand I usually think hey that place is cool I’m going to go there, it’s usually someplace that’s fairly close, last wednesday I went to this island, Alnö, just outside my city.

I think I shoot a lot of boring everyday places and things, and try to see something special in that, I don’t like the extraordinary very much.
Also apparently I also do this weird frog pose when I shoot, the chinese squat! I don’t know if I think it’s weird… just… people have said it’s weird.
