’like the collector,
the photographer is animated
by a passion that,
even when it appears to be for the present,
is linked to a sense of the past.’

~ from ’on photography’ by susan sontag

like a photograph

.

i’m a passionate photography rookie .
i found this new language now closest to my soul
two years ago; actually when stumbling on flickr .

i feel assembled by a lifelong love for images though,
a life of thinking in images,
~ & now it is all about trying to capture
what is there, in my mind’s eye,
beyond the obvious;
wanting to get it on film, on paper, incarnated .

thank you for spending some of your
time with me !

.


p.s the sadly necessary :

don’t use my work in any way without permission.

( if you do i’ll come steal your car.
and i don’t even have a driver's license.
if you don’t own a car i’ll put a
[ previously in a natural way - ]
deceased rabbit on your doorstep. )

.

with all due respect i turn down invites for groups
with sparkling, moving & / or mandatory awards
& comment codes. i truly appreciate feedback
( & the love & appreciation i feel from you guys
has, at times been why i’ve stayed here, ~ ) but this i
feel takes away from the work, ~ & creates a more
stressful way of commenting ..

.. & if you have no profile, no photos of your own
& just add favourite after favourite without a word,
~ i’m sorry, but i’ll block you ( bad experience ) .

.. or in the words of a master, henri cartier-bresson :

’a photograph is neither taken nor seized by force.
it offers itself up.
it is the photo that takes you.
one must not take photos.’

☮ ♥

p.s the other day i started a blog on a bit of a whim ..
so far just a smallish thing but it has proven just as addictive as flickr .
it’s in swedish ( & don’t even think about hitting the google translate button either * ) .
perhaps, if it catches on, i’ll make translations .
a day already contain too few hours though, that’s a problem.



* i just tried it. that thing has a mind of its own.

i did not write i cut myself. i wrote i visit the hairdresser { far too infrequently }.
neither did i mean my hair has given up. i wrote my hairdresser has.
{ although come to think of it that could be a correct translation after all },
~ & i did not write i am made of translucent raw tissue. i wrote i have thin skin.

aah .. where does it all end?

    "to me, she is able to slow down the medium of internet,
    just for that certain length of time, you see her world and thoughts
    through the lens of her camera .. for a precious moment of time.

    { soulful. beautiful. }"

    "The work of Hannah, it is from the spirit. The work of a fiercely perceptive artist. Her kindness, it is also just as strong as her art. I feel very lucky to have been able to know her as we were both very new to flickr. When everything was a mystery waiting to unfold- and we taught ourselves, and shared with eachother, in the work of learning photography, and photoshop.
    If you come across her work, it will draw you in. As she creates images, from the depth of her mind. Like a sculptor finding the statue buried underneath stone with his chisels. She reaches into her self, and works to create the beauty in her mind's eye, for all of us to see. I am always so amazed when I see her work, at face value. And yet, I am not surprised at all, knowing the artist- that these images were within her to create. And I smile now, as I know she is just getting started. There is so much more beauty she will create."

    "Its going to be sort. I think her images & text talk by themselves about her better than any of us. She seems a great human being through her work. Her photos are full of interest, creativeness and ideas. I love her brain more than anythingelse. HPLvng, keep going, keep flickring..."

    "Fantásticas sus fotos, todas, me paso el rato mirando y marcaria muchas como favoritas, difíciles decisiones, no es justo una estrella ni dos ni 10, me encantan, pero mis palabras no son tanto para poder expresar lo que dicen, gracias por tus fotos, hablan solas y son tan cálidas y trasmiten tanto que no es fácil decir unas palabras. Es un gran trabajo


    Your photos are fantastic, all the while watching my step and many mark as favorite, difficult decisions, not just a star or two or 10, I love, but my words are not so much to express what they say, thank you for your photos speak alone and are so warm and broadcast while it is not easy to say a few words. It's a great job
    Congratulations"

    "Hannah is truly gifted when it comes to putting a look together. She pays great tribute to others by carefully crafting and constructing mosaics that become artworks in themselves, as well as constantly improving and discovering her own unique style of photography. Hannah's ceaseless wonder at the world and the warmth that radiates from her is truly inspirational! I am proud to call her a friend!"
