A photo journal from the north
Notes and pictures from slow travel — lake shores, pine forests, quiet harbours and the long summer light.
Lakes in late June
Two weeks of still water and no wind.
Harbour mornings
Fishing boats, fog, and coffee from a thermos.
Forest roads
Gravel, birch, and very few cars.
On travelling slowly
The best days were the ones without a plan: a bus to a small town, a walk to the water, and an afternoon spent watching the light change on the far shore.
Most of these pictures were taken within an hour of wherever I was staying. You don't need to go far to find something worth photographing — you need to stay long enough to notice it.
Gear, briefly
One camera, two lenses, no tripod. Everything here is available light. If a picture needed more equipment than that, I left it as a memory instead.
