Beautiful hazy foggy day
You can find beauty in a day full of hazy fog…if you look for it.
The sun was already going down and it was around 2 pm, in the first photos, and 4 pm in the last 4 photos.

Challenge is: Exploration!
This was one smelly exploration to a fish market in Negombo, Sri Lanka.
The Fish market was so far from the sterile shops we have here in Finland. This place had life, smells and tons of fresh fish.
It was an experience I won’t forget

This Silence chapel at Kamppi has inspired these pictures..
Present are the light coming indirectly from above and the warm feel of the materials. The inner walls of the chapel area are lined with common alder planks cut to shape. The simple furnishing of the hall are made of massive ash tree. The silver cross at the altar was sculpted by artist blacksmith

Rhythem – my search for it
Rytmi – haasteessa oli tarkoitus löytää rytmiä valokuva kohteista. Ohessa minun rytmini, on jazzia, marssimusiikkia sekä hip hoppia…
Rhythm – the challenge was to find a rhythm in the photography subjects.. Here is my visual rhythms, , the jazz, marching music, and hip hop .
Minun yhteys maailmaan vahvistuu aaltojen rytmistä ( pienistä laineista tai aallokosta)
… Onnellisuudessa ei ole kyse intensiteetistä vaan tasapainosta ja järjestyksen ja rytmin ja harmonian välillä.
My connection to the earth is reinforced through the rhythm of the waves, (small waves or the surf)
… Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.
Rhythm -marching
Rhythm – jazz

Mustaa ja Valkoista #140
Tällä kertaa haastankin kaikki etsimään kuvauskohteeksi jotain valmiiksi/luonnostaan mustavalkoista,
eli kuvaa ei saa olla käsitelty mustavalkoiseksi, eikä sitä saa ottaa kameran mustavalkoasetuksilla!
This time, I challenge all to find a subject that is already / naturally black and white,
the image should not be treated black and white, and will not be allowed to take black and white camera settings!
