Publisher's Synopsis
This book's 180 mages are selected out of 400 large photos the author had printed in his colour darkroom painstakingly out of a large collection of negatives and slides (around 10K) that he had captured with non-digital cameras for forty years. The photographs have been chosen mostly by the way they inspire a memory or mood for the author, but hopefully also reflect the glory of nature, artistic intonations, or interesting notions. As the title implies, the stories behind these images, including the author's customary emphasis on the declining state of humanity and families, have been a main factor for preparing this book as well.
