Thank you! I love that you mention Áhpi — what a beautiful word and idea. There’s something timeless in focusing on trees, clouds, landscapes… they carry a different kind of presence than people do.
I need both enduring landscapes and fleeting human or animal interaction together To show how we need both to respond to and respect what endures and what does not
Yes, absolutely — I feel the same. The enduring landscapes give us a sense of scale and permanence, while the fleeting gestures of people or animals remind us of the fragile, temporary beauty we live within. Both together create the full picture, and both deserve our attention.
I think about that too sometimes. There's this big lone tree nearby where I live and I sometimes wonder what it all had to endure. But it's still there, resilient as ever.
Also in the mountains you see villages and town expand and change over the years, but the surrounding mountains are still the same.
That image you describe of the lone tree is beautiful in itself — such a powerful witness to time and change. You’re right, the mountains and old trees remind us of endurance, while everything around them shifts. It’s something worth holding onto.
Yes, I think you’re right. Maybe photography is, in a way, our attempt to leave traces of how we saw the world — a legacy not just of images, but of attention.
That is beautiful. Thank you
Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words. I’m glad it resonated with you.
Wow, great photo! I prefer to make non-person-photos like Tree, clouds... Yeah scapes that the Sami people call Áhpi.

I think most photographers want to leave a legacy.

That's a nice photo. Everywhere something is happening. And still it's a quiet photo. The mountain undisturbed.
