An abandoned Luna Park. No families, no kids, no laughter. Only memories, dust and rust.
Sitting and walking through the abandoned bumber cars I remember the joy and also the fear I felt as a young child driving those cars. I remember the sounds, music, panic and laughter. Do you remember?

Rikard Ekstrand is a photographer passionated about not only fine-art photography, but also Jazz. Based in Stockholm Sweden, but while traveling he let music inspire his photography just as photography inspires his music. In the art of jazz, one moment is one moment. The unpredictable and improvised creates excitement and presence just as photography makes us present and with the right focus and open eyes, the world presents its beauty for us. My photography brings me on a journey, not the other way around.
