For a long time I have wanted to share some moments of my past year — as it has been one incredible journey and I have enjoyed it so much. But I have not found the words to do so. Then one of my students from the spring semester posted this. Shot and edited by the super talented Ville Sakki from …
Something I have been thinking for a while now, but never got to it. Seemed like there was always something on the way. But now I feel time has come to do it and I decided to reactivate my writing again. I finished my active pressphotography career already several years ago (after Sotchi Olympics it was clear that an …
The past couple of weeks I have had the pleasure of teaching in the Aalto University a course titled Multimedia Storytelling. I think it is the fifth or so time I do it and everytime it has been different. This time it was spread over several weeks whereas last time it was a one week intensive. This time I gave quite …
We are doing an interesting project in Lahti (LAMK a.k.a Lahti University of Applied Sciences), where we were assigned to shoot some video footage and stills images on our local outdoor possibilities. The client did not ask for it, but I volunteered to shoot some 360° stills as well — I figured that since we already were on …

Let me just refer you to my last post — and leave it to that. Everything …
This is not an eulogy. This is not so much about Apple or the man — Steve Jobs — either. This is about the paradigm shift he introduced which people don’t seem to get. And this is about our future. But: I cannot write this without paying homage to somebody I have always respected immensely. I choose to …
The repulsive dog-vomit published by HS last week really bothered me (ref. to my previous post), then some personal hate-mail, the death of a someone dear to me… Put it this way: I’ve had better weeks than the previous one. I really have. So I thought: I want to share and write something positive. Show that life is not only gloomy …
The iPad is now totally integrated into my daily workflow. I’ve talked about ShutterSnitch in my two previous posts — it totally rocks — and I’ve been promising to write about the future of the print on these devices one of these days… And I will, but before that, a quick post on two workflow solutions I thought …
