Book of treestext and photography by Malinka persson

” I am deeply in love with analogue b/w photography.

There’s NOTHING like the grain, the various shades of grays, and the way the light wraps itself

around whatever’s in the photograph..

I mean.. LOOK at it... it’s beautiful..”

This book is dedicated to all who has ever believed in me. None named, none forgotten.

Thank you.

When I was a child, I believed.

I believed in trolls and fairies, spirits and ghosts, eve-rything that lives beyond that which we can see.

Today, I’m a grown woman, and I still believe. Per-haps a bit different, but I believe there are things that we cannot see, that are still there. I believe that the spirits grow strong in the nature that surrounds us.

This is what I see when I spend time with trees. I see the spirits inside, I see the wood nymphs, I see where they live, where they ski, where they sing songs...

I hope that I made you see some of the magic that goes on in the corner of your eye.

With best wishes,Malinka P.
