“The best images are rarely planned or expected, but result from moments of lucky coincidence.”
~ Pentti Sammallahti
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
~ Emily Bronte
(1818-1848)
It’s hard to believe that this image was taken 43 years ago in Finland. It could have been taken yesterday anywhere in the world. It just has that timeless feeling. There is nothing sentimental or contrived about it. It is just real and honest and moving. Pentti is just such a master of observation and sensitivity to everything around him.
