This is Why Your Pictures Suck
I admit I’m guilty in at least one of these.
But I find this last sentence encouraging; “You obviously have some of that in you, because you are still around making images, when everyone else has taken up golf or knitting.”

Very nice way to show your best work in Flickr.
Evening Moment
Here’s one of the non-flash images I shot with X100. Had some big troubles with autofocus in this dim light. ISO3200 is really clean what comes to noise. In fact I added some grain to this in Lightroom to make the image look more dynamic.
I realized however that having flash is a must for this type of outdoor night photography.
Wrong fucking planet
During 3/11 disaster in Japan I was asked to write a story about Japan to a Finnish newspaper. I refused because I really didn’t know about Japan. I still cannot write story about Japan. Just like I can’t write story about Finland either. Sorry! Wrong fucking planet.
Collaboration with Masashi Furuka
Tomorrow my friend and fellow photographer Masashi Furuka will take my photo. It’s such a pleasure to be photographed by a great artist such as him.
Freedom
My photo “Freedom” was recently portrayed in group exhibition in Yoshidamachi Gallery, Yokohama. I took this photo in last summer in Noge by using Kodak Gold and converted the digital scan to monochrome.
I think “freedom” is perfect title for this photo.
Thank you Embassy of Finland
Finnish Embassy linked to my exhibition in their culture calendar. Thank you! It looks like I’m in good company..
Oceanic
This might be the best image I took in 2012. Maybe this image is kind of the reason why I am taking photos.
