I have long wanted to make a thematic exhibition about birds or trees. I have always been interested in trees, they have been a constant subject of mine in one form or another. It takes years to track down a few meaningful images, so this exhibition could not have come about sooner. I started photographing birds some fifteen years ago, and there are now a sufficient number of good works to allow me to reckon with this subject as well. A standout feature of the exhibition is the group of prints in unusually large sizes and superb quality, dispersed among the smaller ones. Also, many of the pictures are black-and-white, especially those of the trees.
