I'm a hobby photographer who got her first tiny camera from her father in 1954. Ever since that time I have been photographing more or less actively at home and when travelling in Finland and abroad.

I bought my first digi camera in 2005. During the year 2009 my enthusiasm in taking pictures has risen to quite a new level after finding the Flickr - a really exiting way to share my best shots and moments of inspiration with equal minded friends all over the world.

I hope my Flickr-friends have understanding with me for not accepting such invitations which call for futher inviting all my contacts. I don't much like this kind of chains which might cause trouble and annoyance to some of my friends.

Recently I've also have been compelled to decline invitations to new groups because I CANNOT MANAGE MORE GROUPS. I apologise you my Flickr-friends for not accepting your friendly invitations but I hope you understand.
