Before X-mas

Well, this year could have been easier

Since I got nominated as chairman of the board of the Union of Artist Photographers, Finland, time started running short. I am also a board member of the Artists' Association of Finland and also board member of the Museum of Photography, Helsinki. This means that though I have not very much weekly activities, I got some long looks from my wife, who asks me how long am I going to do this... Especially because of our little daughter, who can be quite active sometimes (read: often).

My most sincere apologies to those who have followed my blog. I am going to do some updates - and I have not forgotten you.

Shooting at Hanko beaches

Oh boy, it was great, though sleeping with a daughter and my wife in a low two-person tent was painful. And we didn't have enough time for enjoying the kayak gathering together. I'm starting to whine and whimper again... missing the summer...
