Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.







Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

The world as I see it

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.

Beautiful photographs, Ritva. Interested to know, what are the miseries of summer – biting flies??? 🙂
Mosquitoes, horseflies mostly 😀and gnats
I used to work outdoors on Skye in summer and well remember the plagues of small biting flies – midges – they made life very unpleasant.
yep, they are so annoying and I am slightly allergic to them so the bites are big and itchy
