I guess this tree looked much bigger when you were young...

Indeed. Perspective is always interesting in many ways…:-) but what really caught my eye wasn’t the tree actually but the plastic blue shovel, it triggered my imagination so to speak…

I thought you put it yourself, as a symbol of a "lost childhood"... :)

No the toy shovel was already there, but you’re right; it caught my eye for that reason. You know I almost never cut and paste things into my photos. I can take away things that I feel is in the way for an idea or the overall aesthetics, but nowadays I almost never add things (except for textures and light) to a scene, at least not when it comes to my urban photography. I do however work with other things, as you know, from time to time and when I do, I tend to have another way of approaching the subject at hand, where post-production is more at the core of things, so to speak. I actually do not know why I chosen to make a distinction between my “urban walks” and the more open-ended work I also do, but I guess it is something almost magical to try catching a “story” with the camera, it is about seeing, almost like doing sketches, observing, watching. Of course I do a lot of editing with everything I do, but when it comes to these urban photos I tend to use post production more “gentle”…:-)

when I said "put it yourself" I didn't mean cut and paste into the photo!... :) I know you're far of doing such things... all I thought was that you found it in the school yard, took it and put it by the tree (as part of the post production) :)

directing the set isn't such a bad thing for itself... I don't think it's important if you directing the set before taking the picture, or after, by editing any other parameter (like textures or light)... I see it as part of the artistic creation...
