My first thought, when I met this young fellow, was: “If I knew how tall you were, I would have packed a ladder.” Oh, but Max is a sportsman, body and soul, and he didn’t wink once when I asked him to sit, squat, crouch and not even when I climbed on all possible and impossible places – putting my little black buddy in danger. I don’t care if I fall and break my leg, that’s going to heal, right? But what about my precious camera … Anyways, we drove off to the cultural center in Suvilahti to take some cool yo-kuvat around the famous grafitti wall. Little did I know that the wall has been torn down and no longer exists. But at least we enjoyed the 40-minute drive to the location:

“Hi! So you are a typical Finn, silent and all?”

“Mhmm.”

“So sorry for you, I usually have Bridget’s verbal diarhea. You are going to die tonight…”

Needless to say, Max is still alive and kicking and as he claims, it was even fun! Disappointed from the non-existence of our grafitti location we took off to the Hakaniemi bridge and in the last rays of rapidly setting sun photographed perhaps little unusual yo-kuvat. Max, this was fun for me too. You were great, very patient and not a bit distracted by a photographer turned climbing monkey. I hope you will like your photos…

it was hard to choose, but this must be my favorite…

There is still time to book a yo-kuva session with me or participate in the “win a free yo-kuvaus” competition!
