Friends, the essential part of my life, extended family. Someone to share thoughts and laughs with. Yesterday evening I did just that on a warm evening by the sea
Seaside in Kivenlahti Looking at clouds Sun disappeared behind the bayFriends for over 20 years
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.

Nice evening shots and a friendship to cherish !
Yes, it was and friends ❤️
Nothing better than connecting with friends!
One of the best things in life
Yep
Friends are so special.
Yes, a second family and as important
That’s one of the most difficult things about moving when we did and not having gone back to church yet (watching our former church online) or doing much else with any other people. Can’t make new friends and the old ones are so far away. 😦
I have moved between countries and also cities that are far away from the previous ones and it is a huge adjustment- I am not a church going person, so I don’t get into social groups that way. Some friends remain dear and some slowly fade
