Closing Friday 29.2.2008 20.49
It's last day of the month! And I'm happy about it as usually March have been the month for the first street sessions. Today the weather was awful, first it was snowing and then it turned into pure rain again. Hopefully my weather widget is right and the sun comes out next week.
Bars And Bars 28.2.2008 23.36
Sometimes I feel like there's something restricting my life. I know that I'm allowed to do almost whatever I want, but somehow it feels like there's no way to go. Maybe I just haven't found the right path yet..
Twisted Finger 28.2.2008 0.04
I've been waiting a while for an entertaining finnish Rap/Hiphop record to turn up. Stepa relesed his first album called "MC" today and it really seems to be a relief for my needs. I also strained my finger at the skatepark, but managed to disturb some people at the center before it.
Lazy F**k 26.2.2008 23.04
I wonder if there's something wrong with me nowadays as I only feel energetic when I'm riding my bike. At any other time I feel lazy as hell. The first impression of the new lens satisfies me though. This one was shot number 12.
Turkey The Devourer 25.2.2008 1.27
It feels like there's only 6 days in a week for me as on Sundays I'm practically dead. Today's been a great example of it as eating was pretty much the only thing I was able to do.
Struggling Continues 26.02.2008 00.36 25.2.2008 0.36
Today I bought a new lens, used Canon EF 85mm f1.8. It's actually my first autofocus lens (if you don't count the Canon kit zoom which is hardly a lens at all) so hopefully I'm a better stalker in the future.
Looks like this week is going to be really stressful, we'll see if I can keep it together and not become a maniac.
Damn! 23.2.2008 21.52
I just came back home from Helsinki with a lot of new experiences to look back on. Now I'm in a hurry as I promised to go to Hitto today. In Helsinki everyone seems to be in a hurry too, so it's always good to see someone who's still unsure about the destination.
Hiding From The Truth 22.2.2008 21.40
Helsinki was good for me today, weather was fantastic and it's been great to see my friend Tapio for a long time. This is Martti devouring some food in McDonald's.
Happy Again 21.2.2008 23.35
Today I arrived in to Helsinki and immediately felt the warm acceptance I always get in here. This shot is me stepping down some stairs, it's a reflection from a window.
Omniscient pigeons 21.2.2008 1.57
There's a long night ahead. Akseli is here and we try to stay awake as a lunar eclipse will occur in a few hours. Hopefully well get some good shots from it. These pigeons must have known that something special is coming as they were keeping this meeting earlier today.
Ghost City 20.2.2008 0.32
Lately I've felt like I don't belong in Turku anymore. There's just not enough interesting people here, or they are all hiding somewhere. If they really exist, I wish the spring drives them out from their caches. This wandering stranger gave me some hope with her positively salient outfit.
Hilarious Ducks 19.2.2008 0.55
I love ducks. They act in a big crowd like there's no-one else around. Sometimes males start to fight against each other, possibly just to impress the females, but all the other time everyone's doing their own thing. And by default that own thing includes a lot of shit.
So ducks are a lot like us. The only thing that really seem to have any affect is that someone you're thinking of.
Shot In The Dark 17.2.2008 23.53
Next week I'm on a winter holiday, unfortunately it seems like it's not going to be that much a holiday after all. On Thursday I'm going to Helsinki with
Akseli but before that I really have to work my ass off to get everything done. Hopefully the weather stays as good as it was today.
My Great Regret 16.2.2008 18.43
I tried to avoid partying on this week but now I know that I'm going to fail badly. There's just too much going on today. I believe it makes me happy so I'll just go with the flow. Besides the inclement weather keeps me regretting the summer.
The Sense Of Spring 15.2.2008 3.13
"You better hold on tight, cause I like the sense of falling" sings the Moto Boy. Great song but this fall of temperature is just depressing. The only way you can really hide from it is to stay inside. All I'm waiting for now is the day when the sun is warm enough to start the spring.
Internet should be illegal 14.2.2008 23.33
Happy Valentine's day! I'm laughing now so it must have been quite happy for me. Holiday is getting closer and closer, only few hours of school tomorrow and that's it! Here's the newest member of Juho's & Katja's family. I can't tell you her name as she doesn't have one yet.
Hodgepodge 14.2.2008 1.10
I'm desperately waiting for tomorrow. Well not the exam that I'm having but the time after that.
Today's riding was energetic and enjoyable, excluding my tire explosion of course. But now I'm really lazy and so hungry that I could eat the whole world.
The Daily Grind 12.2.2008 23.39
This day really took me back to the reality. It's been awfully stressful and tomorrow seems no better. Fortunately next week I'm on a winter holiday. Here's another one from London. Why can't I be there now?
Niceice! 12.2.2008 0.59
Although I didn't do anything special today I had one of the best days I can remember. I wanna thank all the friends at the skatepark, I really enjoyed it. All this smiling reminds me of the summer, so hopefully the spring comes soon and brings some love with it.
New Ride! 11.2.2008 3.09
Yeah! I have a new bicycle! I fixed and painted an old Jopo today and it's just so lovable. As I wasn't sleepy at all after todays homework marathon I decided to take a small night ride. The bike was blazing fast, but I admit, I did make one stop to take this picture.
Beloved Bed 10.2.2008 4.18
I had some nice quests from Helsinki today. We went to see Soulseed and for some reason I didn't drink anything at all. Actually, I believe I was the only sober there today, what for I witnessed couple coincidences that still make me smile. Here I'm having good time on the dance floor with Elias.
Migratory Turkey 9.2.2008 1.18
I sold my TV away today. And I really feel like I'm in a need for traveling. So please, take me out of here!
This was the first shot of my trip to London with Antti. He kicks ass!
Cryptic Life 8.2.2008 0.18
As my weekend started early again I decided to clean my flat today. But now I feel really stupid because somehow I managed to lost my ipod during all the mess. It just mysteriously disappeared.
I just had to capture this as I saw those bikes behind the glass reminding me of all the moments I've been incompetent to ride.
Million Dollar Smile 6.2.2008 23.25
There was an accident at the skatepark today when Aku landed face first to the concrete floor. The result was a momentarily unconsciousness, a concussion, some broken teeth and a pretty badly swollen face. Hopefully there's nothing more serious wrong with him.
Here's everyones worst nightmare, a real weapon off mass destruction, a terrifying combination that can kill us all, it's Jorma and the Estonian Hanger.
Just Me, Myself and I 5.2.2008 23.11
I must have been really lightheaded yesterday, as the blog sucked that bad. I did spend 12 hours at school today, so I should have become a bit wiser, shouldn't I? Anyway, couple days ago I realized that our car park is just perfect for evening cruises. Now every once in a while I go there alone, listen to some good music and simply just try to balance on my bike.
Honey, I'm Bruised! 4.2.2008 23.46
Nothing special today as I feel really smashed after couple not succeeded whips.
Here's a lonely construction worker with his hose, fighting in the never-ending war against dust. Hopefully he won this battle.
Another Lazy Sunday 3.2.2008 21.59
Yesterdays party at Manilla was way better than anyone expected. Organizers had done a great job as everything worked out great. I probably should have taken a camera with me as the place was really impressive. Now you just have to wait untill next time to see some pictures from there.
This photo was taken last summer on a street session with
Julle. I should have been a bit faster, since most of the smoke had already vanished before I reached my camera.
1 Préservatif en Latex 2.2.2008 19.19
Today we had a special quest at the skatepark, Brad Simms was there to entertain us. After riding we all were really hungry, so we decided to have a dinner at Blanco. Tomorrow Brad will continue his journey to Sweden, hopefully everything goes well there.
Lassi is here now but we're going to Antti's place in a minute. Later today we're going to the Manilla where Elmo, Magnus44, Antzah and Resupekka are playing some records. Here's Niclas taking a relaxing bath between all the chaos in Estonia.
Avian Flu! 1.2.2008 23.57
There's some clear signs of the flu today, so I'm afraid I'll be captivated to the bed for the weekend. Hopefully the weather stays bad so it wont annoy me too much. On the other hand, couple of my friends organized a good party for tomorrow..so we'll see.
Here's a small preview of my next summer's highlight, it's really going to make people that happy!
