I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.

Great images and what a fascinating fence – i’ve never seen that sort of fence structure before!
It is a variation of a old Finnish fence style. They used to do it with tree branches
I can tell that you had a lot of fun with the light. At first I didn’t read your title right and thought the images looked like they were catching the morning light. Maybe, Ritva, it is the softer quality of the Finish light.
Our sunset is around 10 pm at this time of the year. And now that you mention it they are not very strong colored. I had not thought about it before, thanks for your observation Pat!
Kaunis hetki, viimeiset yllätyslumet antavat erikoisen vastakohdan kuumannäköiselle auringonlaskulle.
mitkä lumet, kuivuneet ja harmaan beiget heinät aiheuttaa sen illuusion.
