“Skate SM miniramppi kisat järjestettiin Kiasman design minillä johon oli lisätty kaksi extensionia. Kisat hoiti kotiin Enis joka oli kuulemma juuri treenannut Espanjassa takapihan pooleja muutaman viikon ajan.

Eilen 5.9. jo 11. kerran järjestetty Nelosen ilotulitus, joka on samalla ilotulituksen Suomen mestaruuskilpailu, keräsi yli 100 000 katsojaa Töölönlahden liepeille Helsingissä. Kilpailuun osallistuivat Ilotulitus Oy, SkyStar, Tulitemestarit, JoHo Pyro ja Tähtiraketti, joista voittajaksi selvisi JoHo Pyro näyttävällä värishow’llaan. Kilpailijat esiintyivät samaisessa järjestyksessä.
Tässä ottamiani valokuvia kyseisestä tapahtumasta:

Hi all! Long time no see.
For those who care, I apologise for neglecting this blog for such a tremendous amount of time, but let me explain myself…
First of all I’ve been out there living. On my summer holiday I travelled with Marja through the city of London exploring the urban culture and meeting new people for a week. Plus, there’s no London without a portion of fish and chips in an atmospheric pub! (There’s no photo of it though. Sorry!) We also enjoyed amazing local attractions in Saint Peterspurg while visiting my grandparents there and finished the whole package by going to Viljandi Folk Music Festival in the Southern Estonia. We were so dedicated to listening to music and dancing with Marja that we didn’t even take a camera with us. And that’s huge from us!
Here are some of our travelling photos from London and St. Petersburg:













Another reason for me not updating this blog has been work. I’ve been hired as photographer for three different magazines including Softaaja in which my work has been seen already previously. It’s been a wonderful opportunity for me to work in a studio and I have learned a lot! Many shots I have taken there are still waiting for their first publication in the magazines so you folks have to wait for a while for the newest pieces of my work. I’m pretty excited about them already.
Until then here’s some of my work for them:





I was shooting airsoft ages ago but didn’t link to the gallery from my blog. See the gallery from the link below: (Also, see how cool Väinö and his moustages look below.)

One more thing. There’s a new gallery of a skateboarding competition (SkateSM 08) coming up in the near future so stay tuned! Here’s few teasers for you:



Oh, and I bought a new lens but I will tell more about it later! You may guess what it is by judging from the following photo. *tease*
Over and out!

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.

My second magazine cover ever was published in the 5th Softaaja of this year! See the cover itself in the photo below… You can see the original shot under it.

Some photos shot by me in a post apocalyptic airsoft game were published in the same issue of Softaaja. See all the 73 photos of Ruostehauta by clicking the link underneath the photo below or click here.
