    World War 2: Airborne

    Yup. Today we travelled back in time to the second World War as Airborne troops. I was the war photographer (as usually) because I don’t have anywhere near as cool gear as Tomi and Janne! And someone has to do the dirty work anyway.

    We were taking photos for Softaaja magazine so this is just a teaser because anything that may be published is kept secret for now. ;)

    Jou? Yo!

    31.5.2008 oli monelle ilon päivä. Kyseisenä päivänä lakitettiin kevään 2008 uudet ylioppilaat kaikkialla Suomessa. Itse olin tällöin Helsingin kaupunginteatterissa todistamassa Kallion lukion lakkiaisia, joka oli tapahtumana hyvin onnistunut puheineen ja musiikkiesityksineen.

    Katso ottamiani kuvia lakkiaisista alla olevasta linkistä.
