summer evening
1.9.2008 Summer is turning winter again. One thing that I will truly miss during the long, dark and cold winter days is a luminous summer evening accompanied by sauna and a swim in a refreshing lake. |
demand
13.7.2008 This charming little boy has a particular gift of being natural in front of a camera. In addition, I feel he has a message to all adults out there. Can you hear it? |

small wonders
25.6.2008 This was taken in a 19th century building that used to be a brewery. Nowadays it is a home of five different families. The building has one typical feature of that time; it was made to last - contrary to the notion of today's world. We had a walk inside the thick walls of the old brewery and finally ended up on the attic. The light pouring in through the windows took my attention and when my friend suddenly saw something interesting and crouched down the floor, the photo was born. |

delicate
24.6.2008 Don't you think the child has chosen exactly the right amount of muscle power and effort to handle the tough flower? Delicate touch of a lion. |

complicated
24.6.2008 This was taken at local outdoor swimming pool. For me this image is all about interaction of different shapes and textures. Althought I usually tend to prefer minimalistic images, I find this photo rather balanced; it has some particular tranquility and harmony - eventhough there are several (almost too many) elements in the photo. |

meltdown
1.6.2008 I was walking around, when I suddenly saw a bridge that was about to melt in the evening sun. Didn't know what to do, so I took a picture. |

winter again
19.5.2008 Is there anything better than snow in the middle of May? Right after you've enjoyed the green grass and sunshine and thought that the summer is finally here. I've heard a true story about ancient Finns; Long time ago, when there were no people living in Europe, a bunch of people wandered to its borders and saw two road signs. One sign was pointing to the south and it said "Warmth, sunshine and happiness for 8 months a year". The other one pointed towards the north and it was written on it "Dark, cold and miserable for 9 months a year".
Those who couldn't read came here. |

lady in orange
17.5.2008 "Market of Possibilities" is an event where non-governmental organizations present their activities and distribute information. The purpose is also to bring out the Finnish multiculturality. The colorful lady at the picture prepared delicious Sudanese bread filled with vegetables. |

linear
11.5.2008 I've walked through this staircase over and over again for years and never really thought there is something worth of taking a picture in it. But then on one lazy day - when there was no hurry anywhere - I suddenly stopped on the first step and saw the lines. |
decay
6.5.2008
A row of decaying wood standing in water. It seemed like they had been there forever. I find it interesting how photography can make the most boring and ordinary objects visually pleasing. Or maybe they are like that already by nature - we just refuse to see it.
