“I mostly work in my home area, and I am especially interested in the life and atmosphere in old forests, and in ancient rock-paintings and the myths behind the pictures. I am fascinated by the relation and connections between man and animals – now and in the days gone by. I have made – alone and in co-operation with others – twenty photography-books and about fifteen photography-exhibitions. I write and illustrate magazine-articles, I arrange picture-shows and lectures.”
