My Bio
  • I did born at '76.

  • Sugarcoated with low self-esteem.

  • Being with same woman over 20 years so far (and still in love).

  • My (so called) wise words would be: "live your own life, not other people's expectations."

  • No children.

  • I read quite a lot. I did start to mark up books that I've read at 1996. Today's (15.11.2022) number of books readed is 1318 (and 349 010 pages).

  • I did start photographing at 2004 when I did get my first digital camera.

  • I try to keep my equipment as cheap as possible (=more money to spend to fuel to get me somewhere to get some photos).

  • Now I'm using Canon EOS 6D (that I did bought used).

  • I'm using 2 objects: Sigma 12-24mm and Tamron 70-300mm.

  • With cheap equipment I don't have to worry too much, I photograph winterstorms and so on without any cover to my camera or objects; wouldn't probably do that with expensive stuff).

  • I rather try to learn surroundings well with time than travel faraway once.

  • I photograph almost always with tripod and probably 80% of my Urban exploration related photos are HDR.

  • I need loneliness to find photos, so photographing ain't social thing for me, I do probably 99% of my all photographing alone.

  • I love naturephotographing, especially summer mornings at marsh and winter storms. I've been also falling deeper into abstract naturephotography, especially details of ice.

  • I love urban exploration related photographing. I've been in that madness since 2007 with project called "Autiot ja unohdetut", where I try to publish one set with somekind of "poems" every saturday. Sadly only in Finnish...


  • I love horses (and we do have our own pony too), so I photograph horses and ponies too.

~ Year 2023 ~

2 min read
Ready or not, here it comes. Year 2023 by man who loves statistics. SPORT: First of all the sports. I hate sports. That's why I did try on how many days I could do at least 10 chin-ups, 10 press-ups and 10 abdominal muscle movements. At the end of this year right answer is: on 361 days. I did loose 1 day because Nordic Metal Cruise, 1 because weekend at Tuska festival and 2 days to horrible flu (little flu or fever didn't matter but bad ones did). So final numbers of those are: -5000 chin-ups. -5000 press-ups. -5000 abdominal muscle movements. PHOTOGRAPHING: At 2023 I did photograph: -UE related stuff 45 times. -Nature 31 times. -Other subjects 22 times. -Total time that I did spend to those were 229 hours. -I did save 8300 photos. And then the sales: -Adobe Stock: 54 sales. -Mostphotos: 27 sales. -Redbubble: 17 sales. -Shutterstock: 201 sales. -Vastavalo: 4 sales. Sales did drop 9% comparing to year 2022 and 75% to all time best year. Photos were still sold to 47

172 Days

6 min read
Yeah, first of November... first day at unemployed after 172 days at work. Well, technically 159 days - there were 5 days off, you know those holidays. I also were in flu two times (I still am) causing total 5 days off from work. And I also did have 3 days off, one for Tuska festival and two others for other reasons. Strangely I did feel even slightly sad yesterday, which is somewhat scary, because in my opinion... you know, we live here only once... and for me work has always been... it's hard to fit in crowd... even all are nice dudes... I still am that stupid idiot, that one who were bullied at school, who ain't nothing. Horrible fear of doing wrong and/or getting attention. Stupid and sad at this age of... bloody hell, 46 or 47 already, I'm not sure, but never getting rid off that weight. But anyway, now it's over for a few months. Now it's time to enjoy freedom, try to photograph as much as possible (meaning more than normally) and fight against unemployment agency. And yeah

3.7.2023, Monday evening at 21:35 after 3 pints. Feeling slightly sad. We did just spend two days - saturday and sunday - at Tuska metal festival at Helsinki, Finland... and it was so different and fun and so on comparing to ordinary life that continues for me going to evening shift at tomorrow (I did have this monday off from work) so... you know, now all that is gone. That's why I've taken those 3 pints (and now some tea). Anyway, best bands there definitely were: Motionless In White, Lorna Shore, Delain and The HU. I should go to the bed and sleep soon, but I still want to wake up for a while. And scary but true, half of this year has already gone so maybe I can keep my self busy for a while by creating small look to that half year. So here we go, first with... SPORTS: -3060 press ups. -3060 abdominal muscle movements. -3060 chin-ups. My usual set were 2x5 chin ups, 10 press ups and 10 abdominal muscle movements immediately after wake. At best (or most crazy) days I did made
