“Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die. Some would rather die than change.” — Leonard Sweet, cultural historian — Lot’s of stuff happening in my small world. Seems sometimes so chaotic and endless — lots of the signs lately have been so negative — and I am not enjoying …
It is a humbling experience to have suddenly thousands and thousands of readers daily taking a peek at your thoughts. Happened to me last week, when WP posted my “Deathwatch” on their front page. I mean, I’m used to having people viewing my images, but not my words so much. They had about a million postings to choose from …
Last night I came to the hotel and opened a good bottle of wine. Felt like I’d earned it; exhausted but flying: everything just came together in the end. I was so happy. Fast transmission, no hickups really, workflow getting better and better, faster and faster. For instance; before I shot the image above (the winner of 100m dash …
This is something I have been working on for a quite a long time and now it’s time to put it into a real field test. Not that the actual technique is so complicated, but it’s been interesting trying to build the workflow so that it is rock solid and easy to use in a hurry and under pressure. What …

Sounds kind of formal, somehow very official,doesn’t it? Well, it isn’t — and it’s actually a very simple concept. Very briefly: I got tired of waiting that there would …
(UPDATED) Almost two in the morning… Just uploaded the first version of the multimedia project I am doing here in the Levi Slalom World Cup. Presently it has three panoramas 360°x180° and each one has a dedicated narration by Tanja Poutiainen describing different sections of the course. It is displayed on MTV3 website and presently the captions are …
I have been thinking about my work lately — trying to reflect it in the eyes of the people I have conversations with. At the same time, searching for influence and inspiration from people I highly respect and whose work I consider to be the absolute best in their field. Allow me to mention two persons (both also friends) …
I have been working on this for weeks now — and finally it is operational. And that’s good news, really good news and very important to me.
