Lisa, Frank, Muikku & Kolja
Carrying her baby on her chest and holding two dogs by her side, I saw her walking in my direction and I called out to her: "May I make a picture of you?"
Yes, she nodded.
As we approached, I introduced myself in Finnish but was glad to know that she was what we call Finlandssvensk, a Finn speaking Swedish, a language I am much more familiar with.
I told Lisa about my Strangers photo project. She said she takes lots of pictures and she loves photography. If she had to start her studies now she would have chosen photography.
Lisa is a graduate of Aalto University - the School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
She is a clothing designer although she hasn't worked in her profession yet.

She has been working at marimekko some time in the past.
Lisa has a four months old baby boy, Frank, her first child.
Between the baby and the dogs she is a busy woman.
Lisa told me about her dogs. Kolja, the black one, has been rescued by Lisa and her husband some two years ago. He is a hunting dog who had been abused and consequently severely traumatised. Kolja walks with his tail folded between his legs and fears everything and everybody, although it's been better recently.
My heart went out to him, poor doggie :-(
