Peeping Tammy (Through the Lens)

“Any photographer who says he’s not a voyeur is either stupid or a liar” Helmut Newton

Peeping Tammy

Camera ready
Hands steady
Acting like the pros
Striking a pose
Click, click, click
Getting the kicks
When images saved
And getting made

Like a Peeping Tom
Creating photo bombs
Spying through the lens
Trying to make a amends
Posting views
Not only for the selected few
But no less
In the world of wireless

Enjoy!

Photography 101: Day Three: Water & Orientation

“We have different relationships to and stories about water: how it has saved or defeated us. How it reminds us of family vacations, outdoor adventures, or the hot summers of our childhood. How it might symbolize a place we’ve left behind, or a location we dream to go.”

Todays locale, the beautiful bay area of Haukilahti, Espoo in Finland. The marina with it’s many boats and the quaint restaurant named simply as the Haukilahti Pavilion is an excellent place for visitors and local people to spend time in. Whether you are a jogger or enjoying a peaceful moment, or setting to sea, the views are magnificent and sea breeze will cool you down even in the hottest of weather. The Pavilion serves also as a restaurant and is known for it’s tasty salmon soup; a good choice for a meal in any type of weather!

Photography 101: Street & Establishing Shots

Not quite the streets of San Francisco, rather the back roads of Mäkkylä, Espoo.

A tractor would be a more prudent method of transportation than a small car. Watch out for nails or other sharp objects while driving!

Photography 101: Day One: Home And Getting Oriented

Home is elusive. When we think about this word, we might picture different physical locations. And while home is often found on a map, it can also be less tangible: a loved one, a state of mind.
