Turn On The Night

Not special, just some pics from last weeks.

The snowboarding season has started and I'm loving it. The park here in Kokonniemi will open soon. I'll take my camera with me there then!

A little while ago, when there still wasn't any snow.

A snowstorm at night. Love it.

Nothing to explain about here. Beer.

Lights Out

I've been pretty fucked up with my art diplom at school. That's also the reason why it has once again been quiet here. When I have to do something that I usually would like to do, it becomes something that I don't want to do any more. Just because I have to do it.

Well I anyway got it done in time, and here's a few pics that I involved there.

Remember to watch in HD on Vimeo! Mondays bmx session at Signaturebmx. Now I'm healing the tattoo and next riding time will be in Turku!

The First One

I've been waiting for this and now it's true! This is the sprocket of my first decent bmx-bike.

Wake Up Call

I haven't once again had so much inspiration with my camera for a while.
And most of the little amounts of inspiration that I've had, have gone for schoolstuff.
Maybe I'll post some of that stuff here later.

Here's anyway a little wake up for this blog.

Same old GT La Chiva, with a new Cinema Tungsten frontwheel.

It's getting dark pretty early on this time of the year. Now it's just waiting for the snow!

Stairway to Heaven

I just sold this a few days ago, my old bike. Damn it was beautiful! 

...though the picture of it isn't the best possible.

I was supposed to shoot schoolstuff but the spot wasn't as good as I tought for that and I hadn't time to change it. 

And then I somehow came up with a picture of myself.

I saw this and first thing in my mind was Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven. 

Even though I had allready packed my camera to my bag I couldn't leave without this picture.
