Having a blast

2012-02-11T22:45:00.001+02:00

I spent my Saturday with hundreds of gym enthusiasts photographing at the Nike Blast 2012 - a two-day gym spectacle hold at Kaapelitehdas. Made me sweat even though I didn't participate any of the exercises (and I am not saying because of the tight training pants).

2012-02-11T00:52:00.003+02:00

More Goom photos can be found here!

Don Appétit!

2012-02-10T04:07:00.001+02:00

Don't worry guys, I'm not. Pretty close though. Two times on a cruise in four days is quite rough, but atleast the food was great!

2012-02-05T23:20:00.001+02:00

This photo pretty much sums up the last four days. And tomorrow it gets even worse when we embark to Silja Europa & Goom (mayhem) cruise.

2012-01-20T21:19:00.002+02:00

Helsinki got shitloads of snow today, and with shitloads I really mean it. People were almost drowning in it. We don't mind, Petri won an Emma award - party time!

This one is from Saturday from the Wappulounas pre-party at Gloria. A band called Birdy, which was one of evenings main performers, performing on the stage with their lovely lead singer. This night was a tremendous amount of fun - can't wait the actual event to take place at Ruka!

Although the weather is pure shit now, come to ease your feelings at Roska tonight and I'll play you some youtube-goodness <3

sunny side

2012-01-10T23:34:00.000+02:00

Finland is beginning to show it's worst sides as we move on deeper into the misery of winter. In the same time grows my desperate need to travel to warmer places. Barcelona would be brilliant!

2012-01-02T23:04:00.000+02:00

Today we got a dump of snow, now we're only missing the sunshine. Maybe some day. Happy 2012 by the way!

This place is so packed with cowboys and country music that it almost makes me go nuts.

Malawi on my mind

2011-11-09T20:54:00.002+02:00

A photo taken in Malawi exactly three years ago. 100% contrast to the view I see when I watch out of the window now in Helsinki. What a shame..

Board expo weekend is now officially over. It turned out a bit more ponderous than I expected it to be (or as ponderous as it every year is), but damn still included so good times.

My week full of Turku is finally over and damn how awesome the weekend was. Once again Turun jatkot didn't let anyone down. In my opinion, this year's contest was the best ever held. Even I had to ride in the finals; not complaining cause riding that day felt really good :) I'm not gonna even start about the afterparties. I'll get the lomo film rolls on Wednesday...

We Run Helsinki

2011-09-12T00:42:00.000+03:00

Last wednesday I was shooting a run organized by Nike Running Club. It looked liked a lot of fun (for running) and if I ever happen to lose my mind and start running, events like these would be my favourite kind of running. Next run starts on Monday at 19:00 from Nike Store in Kamppi, and I might be there taking photos also!
