Winter colours at the northern lakes

The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to the northern lakes. There is something calming about returning to the same spot and noticing small changes since the last visit.

A morning at a small island ferry

I went to a small island ferry with a phone and nothing else and no particular plan. I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway.

What stone walls taught me

I went to the canal district with a 35mm prime and no particular plan. The café near the canal district still serves the same cinnamon buns; I had two and pretended it was research.

Three days at the city's oldest market

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at the city's oldest market. I kept a paper notebook this time, writing down the time and the light for every roll.

Learning to see birds over water

A friend suggested a birch grove after rain months ago, and this week I finally went. The café near a birch grove after rain still serves the same cinnamon buns; I had two and pretended it was research.

Back to a fishing village on the coast

It has been a while since my last trip to a fishing village on the coast. Walking back, I found a side street I had never noticed before, lined with tiny workshops.

Learning to see street corners

A friend suggested an abandoned railway line months ago, and this week I finally went. Most of the morning went into watching street corners; I took fewer frames than usual, but each one felt deliberate.

A short walk: a birch grove after rain

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at a birch grove after rain. The light was quiet, and winter colours kept pulling my attention away from anything I had planned to photograph.

Three days at the salt marshes

It has been a while since my last trip to the salt marshes. I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway.

Old doors at a fishing village on the coast

It has been a while since my last trip to a fishing village on the coast. Working with a borrowed medium format camera forces you to slow down. You think twice before pressing the shutter, and that changes the pictures.

Walking to a frozen bay

A friend suggested a frozen bay months ago, and this week I finally went. There is something calming about returning to the same spot and noticing small changes since the last visit.

Three days at a village bakery

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at a village bakery. Locals barely noticed me. A man feeding gulls told me the place looks completely different in spring.
