pussy time!

Photos of various cats that are or have been a part of my life. Well, I love cats. Sorry for that ;) Shooting cats is very therapeutic and relaxing. You just have to have time. And crawl a bit on the floor ;)

marras

"Marras" is a Finnish word referring to various phenomena of death. Marraskuu is November in Finnish; the month of death, dying. The etymology of the word lies, according to Wikipedia, in the Proto-Indo-European "martas" where it ended up in Latin (mori - to die, mors - death etc.) and on to English, French and Spanish.

For me, the month marraskuu/November is a transition between fall and winter. Nothing happens, it's mostly grey and dull. Some snow may fall, but it always melts away quickly.

I have beautiful friends :)

beautiful laura

Laura is one of my dearest friends. She is empathetic, good-hearted, kind, strong, intelligent and fun. I gave her a shooting as a birthday present. Here are some results. Isn't she beautiful?! :)

Iiris

I decided to start a new blog to show my other photographic work.

In my first post you will see some portraits of a little sweetheart called Iiris. She's the daughter of a friend couple of mine. The shooting took place in the Kaisaniemi botanical garden in Helsinki, 23.6.09. The time for the shooting was not the best possible, it was from 13:oo onwards and the light was pretty harsh. I found a nice location under a huge tree but still the light was too tough in some point. But yeah, it was a fun and relaxing shooting with lovely people :)

Here we go:
