Hard Work — and pictures to prove it

Up in Lapland, working hard. World Cup of moguls, freestyle skiing. I’m actually doing a major multi­me­dia­project, nothing really related to this compe­tition per se. I just thought I post something, just for fun. Because it is hardly ever you end up yourself in your own images, but I did — ultimate narcism, you could maybe call it… so this is just to show to my client that I really am working here ;-).

It’s cold, dark, icy rain… well, not really, I stop whining. But the elements have been a bit against us, and especially cameras and radios do not enjoy the icy rain. But apart from that — frankly, it has been really nice. For once, I have had enough time for doing this. I have even had time for some X‑country skiing myself in the evenings. Several remote cameras, video, stills… Actually looking forward to compiling this — but that’ll be later.

Tapio Luusua — our biggest hopeful for tomorrows compe­tition. The jump is cork 720.

And just to prove I was also working in the afternoon, here is Harri Kyllö­nen’s version of the same jump (Cork 720) and yes, that is me shooting it with another camera.
