Fotografen Christer Löfgren vill att hans bilder ska förmedla det känsloläge han själv hade vid fototillfället. Han har på sina resor över hela världen alltid minst två kameror med sig. Bilderna blir på detta sätt mycket spontana och ambitionen är att de ska bli så naturliga som möjligt, aldrig arrangerade eller ordnade. Christer använder inte stativ eller blixt utan bilderna är ögonblickliga, för att vi som tittar på bilderna ska kunna känna stämningen. Hans ambition är sedan att göra så lite som möjligt i efterbehandlingen, endast lättare ljus-färgkorrigeringar och beskärningar. Här har han samlat en mängd bilder från sina resor som närgånget berättar om gatulivet världen över. Förord skrivet av Niclas Östlind, curator och doktorand vid Akademien Valand, Göteborg.
