John HÃ¥kansson: Omgivningar (Surroundings)

Omgivning nr. 20(2), 2006 (from “Omgivningar”)
© John Håkansson

I think Mrs. Deane is beginning to know me all too well. As predicted, I do like the work of Scandinavian photographer John HÃ¥kansson, particularly his series of photographs titled Omgivningar (Surroundings). They’re stunning. However, I’m not quite sure how much more can be “said” with these types of images. Just a thought.

    you don’t want to make something to beautiful, it can quickly become boring. i think you need some tension thrown in there.
