Stay hungry

When it comes to photography, I feel like I’ve been sleeping for aeons lately. Just a very long and quite uninspired phase, not really taking photos at all. Well, as I have learnt to know, it is nothing to worry about.
Almost every year I go into this slumbering state of mind, moaning, hating my photos, my shooting angles and my visual ideas. It is a process of shedding skin. Through this introversion I’m hoping something fresh comes out. As it turns out, it never really happens. Instead I just grab the camera and stop sulking. And almost magically, I get excited about photography again.
About these photos. I was lucky to have midsummer’s days free from work and I visited my parents in Kainuu. I also had a great chance to hook up with Konsta and Elina. When it comes to photography, Konsta is one busy bee, let me tell you. He has been keeping this blog alive. He is also one of the most promising young photographers in Finland, as far as I know.
So anyway, we met and had good time. These photos are from a visit to an abandoned house, which was close to their summer cottage. The young man in the photos is Elina’s brother Aleksi. I think that the scenery would make a great place to film a Finnish version of the classic film “Deliverance”.
Mahtava setti. Niinkin kuvauksellinen paikka kuin se oli, olet poiminut huomattavasti vähemmän ilmiselviä kuvia postaukseen. I dig the balls!
Niin, kehitys ei kai vaan ole syklistä, vain motivaatio on.. kehtiys lienee hidasta mutta tasaista. Ja siinä on toisaalta puolensa.
Muistin Partakuvan ja mykistyin. Ihan helvetin tykkii settii teiltä tullu taas. Näistä mun lemppareita on saapaskuva ja noi talosta otetut kuvat. Tunnelma on yksityiskohdissa.
Konsta: Kiitos, jos kyseessä olisi ollut “reportaasi hylätylle tilalle”, joka ilmestyisi lehdessä X, olisin ehkä valinnut toisin. Mene ja tiedä, mutta täällä asioita ei tarvitse aina perustella järkisyillä.
Hese: Kiitos vierailusta ja kommentista! Ja tuo sun kuva Vanhasesta on bueno!
