In a clearing somewhere in Gothenburg, Johnny Kääpä can be seen hunched over his camera hunting for the perfect squirrel photo. For nine years, he has returned to the same spot in the forest, regardless of the season. He left his job as a salesman to do this.
He says he does it not to make money but because many moments are incredibly exciting, wondering if something will happen, like a squirrel, woodpecker, or other animal appearing. He adds that squirrels are cute, possibly the world's cutest. Over time, the distance between the photographer and the animals has decreased, but this has happened entirely on the animals' initiative, according to Kääpä.
