As you might know, it is called Four Hills Tournament (Vierschanzentournee)… but to me it became only two. Finland has been doing a record low — yesterday three out of four jumpers left for Finland because of their poor performance. Kind of discouraging… and not much to do as a photographer for the rest of the tour. The …
I had a couple of questions yesterday and today on some equipment — plus the always flattering “how the hell did you do that” comments — so I just thought I post quickly some pointers. Somebody asked on my cardreader… Yes, it is three Lexar readers daisy-chained together using the FW-800 port on my MBP; the fourth one …
I thought I share one aspect of my work which I don’t usually talk so much about and that is commissioned R&D and consulting. For obvious reasons — usually client is paying for your input and they would not be happy if you gave that away for free to a competitor. But, in this case I think there is no …
I covered the World Cup opening of ski jumping, cross-country and nordic combined last weekend in Ruka and thought that I just show a couple of images — as quite often your favorite ones are not the ones which end up on the printed page.

Sometimes you just don’t win. And I’m talking about myself, not the Finnish athletes… who also have won absolutely nothing either. These games are slowly starting to resemble a national disaster. But my point: I had planned to shoot a sequence of Janne Ahonen, the moment he leaves the large hill and springs forward. His style has been under …
For the first week it was pissing rain and you could not shoot anything with an extreme wideangle, as you would have only gotten fog and water on the lens. But it has gotten better. I have had couple of friends already asking for these so here we go. I had a free morning and I decided to shoot …
The most heard sentence in our house before I head to a major assignment: “Where are my crampons, raincovers, spare batteries, cards.… Sari just hates it — and with a reason. So this time I have thought I spare her — and everyone else — and aim all my packing so that it’ll be ready on Saturday, although I fly out on …
