storytellers.

jag bara älskar fotografier med fina historier bakom. och av alla fina är nog den här den finaste, för nog låter det som något haruki murakami hade kunnat skriva!

i just love photographies that tells you a story, but i like it even more when the photographer is adding a story about the photo. and i think this is the best so far, because it sounds like something haruki murakami could have written!




"The summer after I finished school I set off into the mountains of North Carolina to build a log cabin, armed with a few books, and hand tools, but no experiance or skills. I set up my tent and expected it to take six weeks to build. Six months later I still hadn't finished the chimney or started the roof. But this is what it looked like on a misty November morning a few years later.
I lived here for about eight years, and owned it for about fifteen years after I built it in 1976 with local fieldstone and oak logs I cut, peeled and notched on the site, working alone with hand tools. It had no plumbing, I carried water from a nearby spring, and I heated it in winter with about half a cord of wood a week which I cut and burned in the open fireplace. Eventually I moved into Asheville and had to sell it, but it was a large part of my life, and I miss it more with each passing year."

Vilken riktigt liten sagolik stuga. Jag hade varit så oerhört mörkrädd där. Och frusit ihjäl nästan hela tiden. Men på bild var den väldigt fin!
