Occupy Helsinki

Starting from the Wall Street, spawning all over the world now. The occupy movement now has a camp here in Helsinki as well. Located nicely at Tölö-bay between Eduskuntatalo, Sanomatalo and former Makasiinit building it is nicely in the center of attention.

So if you are in Helsinki, check it out. They have general meetings every day 18.00, if you want to get involved.

Halloween

Halloween is not very big thing in Finland, but since we have some english-speaking friends Nuutti got invited to a Halloween party. It was quite funny to see him roaming the streets of Kallio on his way back home.

Winter coming

Leaves are falling, temperature dropping and very soon it will be snowing. Good time to go through last summers photos. I have been skateboarding with my children quite a lot, and I have been trying to document how their skills progress.

This year I started gathering their skateboarding photos in one blog, check it out from here.

Tag of the day: Abstract

Today I was going thought my photos tagged as abstract

The line

Well everybody has to draw the line somewhere, and somebody had drawn it here. This is the sidewalk of Helsinginkatu, the othetr side is Kallio and other side is Harju (or Alppiharju).

Tuntematon Sotilas

Noticed that Yle Teema will re-run the Kristian Smeds version of the Unknown soldier. For me that definitely brings back a lot of memories. I did spend quite a lot of time in the rehersal room, and around the big stage documenting this process.




Tuntematon had quite a lot of publicity, so some of my original photos ended in strange places like tabloids, schollbooks and so. Now I desided to gather a short alternative photoset of less used photos.
