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.

Bloody hell, it's again this time of year! And because my memory is so damned bad - if I think about past year what can I remember? Mostly our pony's health problems and that's it, everything else has faded in grey. That's kind of scary, I really wish it ain't about memory loss but it has been like that for so long, that maybe (and hopefully) not. Anyway, that might be one reason why I love statistics so here it comes! At 2024 I did... 45 Urban exploration related photographing trips. 31 trips to photographing nature. 32 photograph everything else like gigs, horses, cars and so on. To those I did spend 232 hours, so length of average photographing session were little bit over 2 hours. At 2024 I did... Sell 168 photos to 34 different countries, which means 44% drop comparing to last year and over 80% to all time's best year. Makes me again wonder why my sales have been dropping for... last 10 years? Has their quality dropped so much that they don't sell anymore or is there

~ First Half ~

0 min read
Bloody hell, over half of this year has alredy turn to history - how scary is that? I'm still 47 for few months, but I can tell you, oh children, that when older people talk how time runs faster... it is true. If you ask me why it is so, I probably would say that it might have something to do with that how with more years behind, one year is smaller part of whole thing called life. And also there is so much more happening comparing to times when you were children. Anyway, my advice is: live and enjoy your life, you will never get any moments back. What comes to my life (I know, nobody is interested about that but you know, why should I care? :D ), everything has been pretty fine. Work situation did look bad for a while, but then I did get to another company with just 4 workers (and two cats!) including more money and much, much easier job. First it did ment to be just week or two before getting back to that usual company, but now I've spent more time at that new company than that old

~ Year 2023 ~

0 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

The way you see the world around you is amazing and reflects a deep connection to it. Your collection of images is a feast for the eyes. Thank you.

Thank you sooo much for your words, I really do appreciate them. Especially now when my so called Freedom is getting to end once again - back to work at next monday. Then there are only saturdays for photographing, which kind of breaks my heart. But of course, money is good thing too. Anyway and once more: thank you very, very much. :)
