a lovely comment reply...
do you know the haiku:

Even in Kyoto-
hearing the cuckoo's cry-
I long for Kyoto.

you definitely captured that "sweetness and melancholy". wish i could see the exhibit, but i'll look forward to the book! ;)

^ nail on head, that haiku... a heartfelt thanks to you Iowa.

your summer place--it seems like paradise. such a lovely feeling in your pictures from there.

^ it is our haven, we long, we long and we long for the most part of the year, and then it´s over and it´s eleven months of waiting yet again... I´ve been photographing those few weeks this way for the last 5-6 years, trying to capture the sweetnes & melancholy i feel already when I arrive... some kind of premature nostalgia, which of course becomes memories however you go about it. I`ve had a small exhibition with these pictures in stockholm in december of last year, and will show it in gothenburg (at witzlin´s gallery) in april. but the dream is to make a published book with this project... Ooops, just ranting on, what i was supposed to say was: Thanks!
