A couple of months ago we did a workshop on nude photography with a few fellow photographers from the local camera club. Excellent workshop leader and excellent model made for some really nice shots. Main focus point was the curves of the body. I’ve noticed that I’ve always been more a “detail” type of guy, so this was right up my street 🙂

Last Friday night there was a big Classic American car tour in Helsinki. Lots of nice cars: old ones, newer ones, new ones, small ones, bigger ones, huge ones… Great photo opp! Usually the drivers/owners of the cars also dress up to match the era of their car. Unfortunately this time I didn’t see much of that, and there were so many cars and so many people crowded together that it was next to impossible to get pictures of the whole car without getting the background or foreground completely cluttered. So I stuck to the beauty of the cars. Even the simplest car can turn into something artsy if you know where to look 🙂

Some people say that construction workers don’t have it…
But really… When  you look at this construction site and you notice the Christmas trees all over the place, even on top of the cranes, it’s really only a myth, isn’t it?

Merry Christmas!
