You might have seen me posting on Facebook couple of days ago that I am looking for a woman for an impromptu shoot. Requirements: rubber boots and no fear of water. Soon I had a perfect beautiful young lady ready for the challenge. I asked her again to wear rubber boots. When she got into the car, I exclaimed in a theatrically horrified voice: “These are not kummisaapat!” “But they are boots.” (Smart ass reply, serves me right.) In fact,…

3 musts to mark in your calendar this spring | perhekuvaus
Lapsimessut 2013 26.-28.4.2013 Back and forth, I was swinging between the desire to participate and the desire to have a long warm sunny weekend (if Mother Nature grants us spring this year). Because long warm, sunny and lazy weekends filled with love are always in shortage, aren’t they? And then a quick decision (somewhat detached from my body and soul) was made and I am gonna be in Lapsimessut the stand no. 6e120. This year there are some exciting things…

Cats, crowns and the white jazz
Today I was walking home from a morning errand completely lost in thoughts. Suddenly I heard a sound behind my back – which reminded me a lot of cat snarl I frequently heard in Tuscany. An Italian cat snarl in the middle of all the white jazz? Don’t be ridiculous, I said to myself and turned (still half hoping it would be a cat). Fair enough, it was a little girl blowing her nose (an action more fitting the current outdoor…

Need help to survive through the rest of winter? | lapsikuvaus
I know I promised you some more baby photos of that gorgeous baby girl with the longest eyelashes in the world – but before that let us celebrate the beauty-full season that winter knows to be. Since I came back from my short (and much wonderful, thank you everyone!) weekend miniholiday, it’s been snowing, snowing and snowing and right now outside it’s wonder, wonder, wonder. Yet most of the people are so ready for spring … and the first signs…

5 winter activities that you mustn’t skip | valokuvaus
Hey there readers, sorry to keep you waiting so long … my excuse is simple – I have been enjoying life outside of the virtual walls. Especially enjoying the first snow. Full frontal, may I say, given the fact that when blizzard Antti roared at its highest speed, I was standing on Esplanadi waiting for the moustachoed guys to show up for our charity Movember shoot. Many promised and yet, for some unknown reason, Esplanadi looked like this most of…

Life stories: The story of an Italian coffee maker
We visited Tuscany again this summer. Having been in the same area for several years in a row, we already have some local friends. The most important place, especially in the morning is a tiny coffee shop Torrefazione e Fiorella 2. There works Cyntia with her dog Asia. Greeted with hearty handshake when we walked in on our first day, we visited every morning for one (or few) incredible latte macchiato. We were usually quite early (for tourists), but Cyntia…

Mixtape Monday: Are you passing down your art? | perhekuvaus
A brief perhekuvaus regard from the post-Italian coma before I dive into the huge pile of work. As a member of the International Evening of Kameraseura, the Helsinki club for photo-enthusiasts who want to speak English, I am challenged on a regular basis with fun assignments that my friends come up with. The recent was to choose 1 (one) meaningful image we took this summer. But summer this year only happened in Italy … I was on holidays and that…
