I've been planning on a new photo shoot for some time now, but haven't really done anything to take the idea further. Meanwhile I've been crafting and well, slacking. When the weather gets like this, I don't really feel like doing anything useful. So, crafting is the answer.

Matryoshka print. Self drawn stencil, printed on a t-shirt bought from H&M.

New calender with self-made covers made of old magazines and newspapers, attached with lacquer.
A baby dragon named Drage. He's entirely made of fimo, without inner structures. Brother of Dreki (shown below).

Dreki is made of cernit, and has inner structures made of aluminium wire.

Östasiatiska museet - Kimono fusion

Following photos were taken on my last years trip to Stockholm, from East-Asian museum. The exhibition, Kimono Fusion, contained mostly clothing, but some interesting nail -and eyelash art too. And of course, origami, in a bit more modern version.

Believe it or not, it is a peace of clothing, a dress, to be exact.

He was a Christmas present from my parents. Ain't he lovely, so silent and easy to prevail.

Frostbites

It's almost -8°C outside and white frost covers the ground. One of the best things about living near Arctic Circle is the winter; cold and beautiful, and sometimes even snowy.

I never buy umbrellas.

Photoshoot from last spring. Most of these are originals, added some contrast in few. Taken with Nikkor 18:55mm. Huge thanks to our model, Geenivirhe.

Far from home

2009-10-29T04:55:00.000-07:00

Autumn vacation came and went, unfortunately. I spent my break in Sweden, which is unbelievably beautiful place for photography with all of its museums and parks, especially in Autumn. Such a long entry, my apologize.

Heart of the city.

View from sea.

Chocolates and dark cold nights.

Oasis in the city; Kungliga Djurgården

Stringed Instruments.

When I was younger, I always wanted to start playing something, most preferably violin or cello. Now, couple a weeks ago I had my first cello lesson. Some time after that I got a rental instrument from local conservatory. Cello is such a beautiful instrument; the voice is so fine, and the appearance is absolutely engaging. Everything as pulchritudinous as this earns to be photographed.

Child of Renaissance.

Music on paper.

Chilly maples.

Couple days ago the sky was bright and chilly, almost cold. As autumn slowly turns to winter, and leaves fall from the trees, perfect opportunities for photographing turn up all the time. This time I had a certain someone as a model. A Beloved someone.

Maple leaves fallen from the sky.

Traffic signs need love too.

Almost Afternoon tea.

You can find more of her from here. Some of those are taken by me(, and I'm awfully proud of that).

Autumn

2009-09-30T11:52:00.000-07:00

Hailstones are falling from the sky and sun sets before dinner, Autumn is turning towards winter. I thought today might be one of the last chances to commemorate the past Fall.

Apples for the world.

Rusty train tracks.

Silent scenarios.

Views from capital.

2009-09-13T03:52:00.000-07:00

The comic book festival of Helsinki is organized 24. time this weekend. Early in the morning I headed over to the capital. Since we had whole day to spend, we decided to go see one of Finnish World Heritages, Suomenlinna.

Views from the ferry.

Deep green leaves on black clouds.

Back to the market square.

Crafts from past summer.

A pendant made of a rock and wire ( rock was found from the place where last posts pictures are taken from.) It might be Orthoclase.

Greetings. You have just made your way to my first photography centred blog, and it's first entry.
The main reason of starting this journal is to keep record of my photography, and other material shown (such as sketches, crafts, etc). The idea of this rather gallery reminding journal is not to rely on letters and sentences, I hope the pictures will speak for themselves. As it's said, A picture is worth a thousand word.
