Bridge to nowhere II

Richard, I have now that calm and quietness coming out of your image in my living room. Always, when I look at the photograph, I have these goose bumps. Yes look here, I think I need something also on this wall :-)

Stockholm's town hall
Wharf -23C

- They are great, in all senses. Well, I think they respect "fragile" sign. Not a damage
- The city halls one, for me, it is more about my remembers. The outstanding thing is the light passing trough the arcs...
- Stockholm's fog is very special because of weather portrait. Everybody I show here in Brazil doesn't really understand what that really means, and mainly how a dog can survive in such a cold...The light in frost plan is very interesting detail, while the white background gives the overall atmosphere...

frozen fence

Strange how powerful nature is...able to pour life into lifeless objects. To me frozen fence reminds a frozen flower - bud that will never bloom... It is a nice "frozen" picture making me feel calm and melancholic - freezing my time for a while...

Some time ago my friend ask me to print for him few shots I made in Prague. He had a plan to give it as a gift to his friends who were opening bar in south of Spain. I believe somewhere close to Portugal border.

Dear Richard,

I am very happy with your photographs !
I can see that you took good care with the passe partouts, the black passe partouts are very nice with the photos. I also like the size of the photographs, they are perfect like this.
The photos evoke a lot of feelings for me: to be alone in a quiet nature experience, yet also the presence of people who are just absent for a while. Also the tension, the excitement of what happened when you were not there which gives the possibility to fantasize. And snow in itself takes me back to my childhood when suddenly in the morning the whole world was different and new. I think it is very nice when you can make people think about things like this when they look at a picture you have taken.
