I am an artist living in Helsinki, Finland. I paint, I draw, I design, I photograph and I write.

I have been away from for quite some time. I got caught up by Flickr, all it's wonderful tendril's, the tangle it creates and got buried deep into the net it spins. I needed a break and I had one.

Now I'm back and I'm happy to see lot's of old familiar names and bunch of new ones inspiring me once again.

I don't always know what I'm doing, I don't always have so much confidence on what I'm doing but somehow I just keep doing.

Thank you so much everyone for your messages and mails. I appreciate all the flattering, encouraging and kind compliments, congratulations and simple notes.

Working as an artist can sometimes be very lonely so feedback is precious.

I do have a story to tell, will you listen? Will you? Pretty please?

This photo of mine was published in the 24 hours of Flickr book

Yay! :)

My equipment:

Nikon D300

Polaroid Sun600 LMS (=light management system sic!) and Polaroid EE 100 Special.

I process my photos in Lightroom and in Photoshop CS5 on my wonderful Mac. Love those too.
