Soundwise originally I was editing this piece to go along with Portishead’s “Machine Gun” but then thought that what the heck, I’ll do my own soundtrack. Headphones are recommended.

For the kind request of Jussi and since people seem to be doing it anyway I shall present you what I added to the Finnish Press Photographer of the Year -competition.

Last year I didn’t win anything and I plan to put on a similar performance this year. However, this attitude has it’s perks: I didn’t make the most obvious choices with my pictures, but decided to push my limits a little. It’s easier to take risks when you don’t think it really matters anyhow. Therefore I’m actually quite happy about how my set turned out. It looks like.. me?

Elina helped me with this final set, big thanks to her. Also thank you Jarkko and Ossi Ahola, with whom we had a great brainstorm/photo-eyeing-session few weeks back. Anyway, here they are:
