Olen kirjoittanut Journalistiin vakituisesti neljä vuotta. Alunperin pesti oli tarkoitettu vuoden mittaiseksi, mutta jostain syystä päätoimittaja ei ole puhaltanut pilliin ja peliä poikki. Saa nähdä kauanko jatkuu vielä… Pohdin ‑jälleen kerran — mitä kirjoittaa seuraavassa kolumnissani ja taas tuli mieleen, että olenkohan tuosta tai tuosta aiheesta puhunut jo riittämiin. Joten päätin kerätä yhteen kaikki tähän mennessä kirjoittamani. Jotta …
Sometimes it’s great fun to do some totally different. The culture office of Porvoo asked me, if I could come up with anything to their summer #URBCULT ‑project. They basically gave me a one square-meter “outdoor toilet” (in Finnish “huussi” or “hyyssikkä”) — and free hands to do “art”. And yes: without the actual seat-and-the-bucket . It just …
Some of you might have noticed the thing we did in DocImages couple of days ago. Well, if you didn’t, here’s a short recap. (And here is an article I wrote in Finnish in our blog) I am getting sick and tired of the ever tightening legacy print death spiral and especially frustrated with their total lack of …
Tänään vietetään Journalismin päivää Helsingissä. Ja syytä kyllä on, sillä eilisen “uutisanti” oli kyllä niin villiä, että perässä oli vaikea pysyä. Päivän huippukohdat Joku venäläinen euroviisuissa laulanut babushka oli löytänyt isänsä haudan. Herran, joka kuoli Nazisin taistelussa (76-vuotiaana) ja jolle tiedettiin pystytetyn joukkohaudan… Sofi Oksanen ei sitten saanutkaan Nobel-palkintoa (kuten koko maailma henkeään pidätellen odotti). Se …
It’s just an app. And yet, it is our future. Reuters has an interesting iPad app from these games. If you are not familiar with it and have an iPhone/iPad, I suggest you try it out (it’s free). Reuters has c. 50 photographers in these games. Some photography legends (such as Kai Pfaffenbach) — and all of them …
Days just fly by. Covered wrestling the other day, yesterday did kayak for the first time — I will be doing that now for several days towards the end of the week. Finland got the first medal yesterday (windsurfing), but as it was in Weymouth I was not shooting it. Bummer… Friend of mine sent me a real …
This is a small demo. Please note: this works (properly) only with HTML5 compliant browser — such as Safari on a Mac. It works on iPad2 (i.e. Mobile Safari) but it does NOT work with iPad 1st gen. nor iPhone (except — I was told — it does work with iPhone 4S) — due to non-optimized media and subsequently high processing load. Thats’ …
(Gallery updated — for the last time). Just came to think about something. No big thing, just some quiet self-reflection. No complaints, no whining and absolutely no ranting. Just thinking aloud. But: I realized that majority of my work could be classified into three different categories. The image above is routine. Your basic point and shoot. It’s Usain …
(Updated: image gallery 28.1.2011 at noon) Yup, that’s it. That’s what I did today. And what I will do tomorrow. And the day after… Sure, I will be covering some of the other events as well, but there is no question where the focus will be. Not that I am complaining — on the contrary. She is a pure joy to photograph …
