Last semester in a Swedish High School each student is required to do a special project connected to any of the of the subjects she has studied throughout High School. I choose to connect Swedish and photography when doing this project. I worked together with my Swedish teacher and we came up with the idea to collect different poems, interpreted in my way, and create photos matching these interpretations. I started out choosing about thirty poems to work with. After interpreting them I selected the fifteen for which the ideas for the photographical interpretation seemed to be easier to work with due to the limited material and photographical knowledge I had to work with. It was a fun project and it turned out good. Following are two of the about fifteen poem/photo matches I picked for my final album.

This poem expresses a cry for help. The dog in the picture is looking out over the lake, as if he’s longing for his master. Maybe the place brings out memories from the past.
