Happy to see me?

This Parisian (?) was not happy to see me and my camera. I believe that in France it´s forbitten to photograph anybody in public place without permission. At least it used to be so, don´t know if it´s still so. 

In Finland you can - pretty much - photograph anything you like in public places. One can´t expect privacy in public places. If you publish them there´s some limitations. You can´t publish pics of minor(s) without parental premission. And it´s forbitten to publish somebody in dire in that way he/she is regonized. But that´s about it. How is it in your neck of the wood I wonder.

My Corner of the World

A bus ride

On my way to work I noticed this black lady in the bus. Her hair was what I was admiring. I seriously doupt that it´s not her natural hair. Either way; her hair looked very nice. I accidently paparazzed piece of me too (no pun intented). You can see part  of my tattooed forearm and my pink t-shirt´s sleeve on the right side of the pic. Click for bigger pic and better view.

Desertification in Full Swing

I though that swings are for kids, apparently I was wrong. This fellow was more interested in his manicure than his child. I see the desert is advancing in our yard. 😁 More gravel, less grass. Yeah.

Moving Picture

 The Weekend in Black n´ White


A Puff

I was waiting for a bus with this older woman. She had bags full of groceries in her walker. And she was smoking a cigarette. (It was in her left hand, not visible in the photo.) A bad habit that might kill you. Then again; if one has to die it´s prety much all the same what he/she dies from. End result is the same. Says a cynic smoker i.e. me.

Low sun

 Long shadows. I like these early bird moments. You´ve got the hole city just for yourself.


Frisbee Golf

a.k.a. Disk Golf. I´ve played it few times and I must say I like it. Am I any good? Nope.
Wee bit of man made erosion in other wise perfect forrest. Kinda bipolar photo I´d say.

Happy 31th Independence Day Ukraine!🌻

This old gentleman was protesting for Ukraine. Russia murders Ukrainians and Putin is a dick says his sign. Couldn´t agree more. Hope that the War ends soon. Slava Ukraini! 💙💛



The evil monster is still alive
Even after all this time
It's been written in the stars
Forever love, stop the war 

A ray of light is shining down
Tomorrow's 'round the corner now
Now the future's in your hands
Do you remember? Yes, we can

Something Funny

My friend send me this joke he saw online.
Didn´t save it so I re-made it for you to enjoy.

The James Webb Space Telescope; 8500 light years away.

Credits: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI


Surveillance Camera; 50 foot away. 😂

Something else funny; a metal cover of  Village People´s old classic.
I like the music and the video is a great parody inho.




Hush, hush.

16th August 2022

Hottest weather in 60 years this late in summer. No wonder I can´t remember anything like this. How hot it was? It was 31,1C (88F) less than 30km (18.6 miles) away from my current location i.e. just around the corner I´d say. Climate Change ahoy!       My Corner of the World


Lucky Shot

This fellow has reflections of his smart phone screen in his sunglasses. I was very lucky, didn´t see it in real life because I was looking down at my small smart phone screen. Unrepeatable by paparazz means I figure. Could do it if  I was openly - and with permission - photographing him though. But yeah, I like it. Should do lottery this week and see if my luck holds.

No Shit?

Grass is all burned up with the heat what we´ve had this summer. And it hadn´t rained that much. Birches are dropping yellow leafs and it´s not autumn yet. No bueno. Climate Change in my Hood anno Domini 2022. Tomorrows New Normal is already here. Yes Shit.

Wellcome to my new photoblog!

I´m Finnish (street)photographer. I document small little things around me. Just your everyday life, nothing too fancy. I use both smart phone and DSRL for my photos. 

This poor fella tried to roll a cigarette by using left hand only. Looked helpless. Would´ve helped him but my bus was just coming so.. He had a beer at hand. Good for him, it was bloody hot. I was lurking in the shadow for just that reason.

                              

💖 Welcome, hope you enjoy you´re visit(s) here. 💖
I´m very comment friendly and will answer to everyone.
This is but a teaser, will start regular blogging late summer or early autumn.
