Trees become like living creatures, capable of expressing emotion and physical sensation.

So do I like/enjoy making pictures? Do I find it rewarding? Of course not. It’s a task which causes me massive frustration, intense, repeated and prolonged disappointment, it can honestly manifest some form of insanity in me, and the exhausting self-depreciation and dissatisfaction can reach levels which promote real depression.
Sadly the generous flattery of others who do like my pictures is scant antidote as I know they cannot see what I missed and therefore their judgement however heartfelt is not enough.
Why do I bother then? Why don’t I give up and make jam? Because it would have to be perfect jam and for me this would be even more difficult as I have a sticky stuff phobia.

Night Air

Cone-shaped tents called lávut provide temporary shelter for Sami herders while following the reindeer. Nils Peder Gaup, resting here on the tundra, feels most at home in the mountains. “The Sami spirit follows you,” he says.

Blue Pond, Hokkaido
The “blue pond” of the famous tourist resort in Biei, Hokkaido, Japan is a place where many tourists gather in spring, summer, and autumn. However, since this pond freezes in winter, nobody is there during that period. This photograph was taken during the first snow of the season as it fell over the blue pond.
