“It’s really sad to think that so many amazing people doubt their value because someone they cared about made them feel like they weren’t good enough. Everyone deserves to be loved and appreciated for who they are, and it’s tough when someone’s actions and false love make them question that”. (R.M. Drake)

“To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed.” (Susan Sontag, On Photography).
A short film
There is no more sagacious animal than the Icelandic horse. He is stopped by neither snow, nor storm, nor impassable roads, nor rocks, glaciers, or anything. He is courageous, sober, and surefooted. He never makes a false step, never shies. If there is a river or fjord to cross (and we shall meet with many) you will see him plunge in at once, just as if he were amphibious, and gain the opposite bank. (Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth)

“A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful, and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.” (Pam Brown, Horse Psychology: Understanding Equine Behavior (1992)

What photography is about
Det sitter inte i utrustningen.
Det har det aldrig gjort.
Ändå anser många att det är kameran det handlar om.
Tekniken.
För vissa är dyr utrustning svaret på att bli en riktigt bra fotograf.
Jag förstår inte det alls.
Kommer aldrig förstå.
Varför inte bara fotografera?
Utrustning spelar mindre roll.
Det är vad du känner, ser och tänker som är viktigt.

“It’s a profoundly strange feeling, to stumble across someone whose desires are shaped so closely to your own, like reaching toward your reflection in a mirror and finding warm flesh under your fingertips. If you should ever be lucky enough to find that magical, fearful symmetry, I hope you’re brave enough to grab it with both hands and not let go.” (Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January)
