I've ended up seeing some amazing places around the world already and I've tried to capture it in my own way and style. I consider this only the beginning, however, and there's so many more great and mind-provoking destinations yet to see. 

There will be some selected photographs on display at the cosy Cafe Talo in Hakaniemi from the beginning of June onwards. I also have reserved the upstairs of Cafe Talo on June 1st for my friends and friends of the friends and just all the people that would like to have a look at my photos.

If you like what you see and even wish to get one for yourself, some of the prints are for sale. I will put 5€ from every sold picture into a Kiva Loan (http://www.kiva.org/about/) which I think is a sustainable way of creating new opportunities around the world - the people that might not have the same support system around them that I've had, for example. The buying is not the main point, though, and I just want to welcome you all to join me and have a glimpse of the world.

So, 1.6. there will be a get-together and after that you can visit Cafe Talo (http://www.cafetalo.fi/) and check out some of the photos.

Welcome you all!

More info and updates will follow...Here's the Facebook invitation.
 
 
Gotta love social media. Boy, somebody had started a snowball of sharing of my photos the other day - in twitter, photo directories and whatnot. Then I see people pouring into my site from different blogs and photography/art community sites such as Shockblast.net. Feeling pretty humbled.

I already linked one of the articles on my facebook site, but since this blog is MY photoblog I think it's not too bad if I post some of the sites I found my photos shared from and people writing very nice things about my work. Even though you could say; "this is how social media works", it's also encouraging to get some nice feedback, nevertheless. I also got some new fans on my facebook page from numerous new countries and got about 70 twitter users sharing my work to their followers. So, thanks everyone! Here's some of the links that I found my photos from:
