This time I’ll repost some old photos I’ve been meaning to show for years.
These were shot in my hometown, Sotunki, in the woods of eastern Vantaa. I was walking home from the bus at 1 am, four days after new years eve. I noticed the horses beside the nearby farm, and they looked a bit creepy when they just stared at me. There was very little light, the moon was just a crescent. I then tried to take deliberately shaky, grainy and creepy pictures as I walked through the village.
Continuing on the second part of my creative journal from my trip beyond The Great Firewall of China,
I came to notice on several occasions on our cartrips that the locals have built beautiful stonewalls.
I guess they use water-grinded stones of similar size, support them with temporary walls and pour the mortar in, like this:
The result looks organic, resembling bubbles or a beehive.
That inspired me to look more into different types of bubbles, here are a few works:
Went on a small trip with Anssi and Maffe, a Dyxumer, who came on a visit to Finland. We made a short trip from Kamppi to Ruoholahti and Salmisaari’s new office buildings. Nothing special, just trying to shoot architecture, I’ve looked on the combination of deep red bricks and deep blue windows a while already. I must go there again when buildings are finished and when it’s full sunlight.
On one of the first sunny days of winter, at the beginning of February, I decided to poke my head and lens out of my apartment and worship the then-weird shining ball in the sky. I headed with Charris to the beach of Toukola near my school and her apartment, and shot some random pictures just for the fun of it.
I think I succeeded to further define my favorite style of photographing; nature with very subtle, pale and cold colors.
