I have lost all motivation to update my site. In fact, I have lost all motivation to do just about everything I was doing up until a few days ago... everything except take photos that is, which I did a lot of yesterday.
I am now living on the farm/nature reserve where I have been getting up early to work on the garden, take long walks, sleep in the sun, take photos, cook weed soup (with all the weeds we cleared out of the field for planting), and reading.
Today I will drink beer and play poker.
Tomorrow maybe I will kayak.
The only reason I am writing this is that I have to be online to take care of a little web work (for which I have literally no motivation other than that I am responsible for getting it done). As I wait for some big files to download and upload I thought I would take the opportunity to write a bit on the blog... but even now I get distracted by the blue sky, sun and sea I see out the window.
I thought the living conditions for the past nine months would spoil me, but how can I ever go back to Tokyo after this?
kayaking soon
That's exactly how I felt after six months bicycle touring around northern Europe with my wife. We had become so used to the sky over our heads and no walls that for six months after our return to Tokyo we slept with the windows open, even in the winter. The feeling of wanting to go back to that state of mind has never left. Perhaps one day...
your pictures are so beautiful they really make justice to a pretty country I am a swede in london and im home sick so anything about makes me sentimental, today my boyfriend picked up a radio that can take short and medium waves so we heard den blomstertid nu kommer from swedish international radio and despite the crackling and that nowdays you can listen to web radio completely undisturbed it moved me to tears.... it seems like the more digitally perfect our world becomes the more you need the comforts of imperfection
Butuki, that's not what I wanted to hear. I need you to tell me that I will soon forget and once again be assimilated into the city life. (if ever I was).
Ebbs, thanks. It's nice to have some Swedes telling me that, so I know it's not just the "exoticness" of Sweden that I like about the scenes depicted.
I looked at your videos which is a little dangerous for me in my current situation. With all this time on my hand it inspires me and gives me crazy ideas... makes me think that I should try something like that. I really loved the 9000 men video. Although I probably wont make a video (no equipment) it has inspired me to try to get some photos in that same mood... maybe a photo version of 9000 men...
