We look for beauty from vanishing untouched nature. We give value to nature with our eyes and seek for something breathtaking, something big, predefined beauty and value. The beauty of nature is all around us, even close by and unnoticeable, vanishing and fleeting. In nature, everything has its place, its own personality and its own story.
Elegance of a Ditch exhibition celebrates nature’s imperceptible beauty in ditches, roadsides, banks of ponds and wastelands. These burst with life, seizing the moment, and radiate life’s fleeting elegance. With my photographs I want to give my subjects a possibility to be seen.

The turn of the year makes you ponder on life and think about your choices and what you are hoping for the future. It may be the most genius invention after birthdays in terms of chances to make changes, change directions, break bad habits and make choices and renew yourself. Some decisions and promises may not last but others may change your whole life and even the whole world.
Growth comes from patience. Every new beginning rises from yesterday. Growth starts with a possibility. What ever you concentrate on, will grow. Freedom is to choose future, no matter what the circumstances are.
