I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.

That last frame is amazing: do they often grow in fours like that, Ritva ? all pointing to each other …?
as I was looking in my garden yesterday, it seemed so, never noticed before. But my macro lens is new and I haven’t been doing this kind of photography for long, so haven’t paid attention before eighte r:-D
So look closer from now on and let me know. It FASCINATES me, this quartet …
These are fascinating. How strange that something as delicate as a fern looks so weird and kind of creepy up close.
yeah, I agree. One is amazed when looking closely at nature,,,I’m new at this so I am amazed all the time 🙂
Yes your camera can photo the details – mine doesn’t do that so well. I’ll be fascinated to see what you photo next.
Ihanan kiemurainen. Juuri nyt luonnossa näkyy paljon uutta elämää, paras aika vuodesta!
What a color on the third photo!!
Upeita!!!
Beautiful!
Ferns are an amazing plant, and make such great photos. I quite like the 2nd one. 🙂
They are amazing to watch grow and light looks great on them in the summer
These are such interesting plants and you have captured their fine detail perfectly
