I got sorta bored of my previous journal, so have to write a new one. First, I congradulate my friends and colleagues for their recent DDs:

and PetriW who is a Finnish music photographer and he got great style for emotional shots, usually performed in the most complicated conditions. Thanks for being such a great help in all that concert photography issues.



What I Like About My Pics
I try to think about how a viewer would see in my pictures, and what exacly I want to deliver.

Anemone, a character, is actually a weird, psych girl. And, she is also an alien. In this shot we did'nt make her to do hysterics, but I like the etherial look of calm, spaced out girl with a flower, staying behind strong crossed bars. To reach character's heart was an impossible task, and she also was an elite soldier, so getting to and getting past her was impossible for the most men. Yet she's fragile.


This guy just look epic and the smoke adds intence to the pic. Look, I am a metal elder.


Like the Negal's glare. The best caption was give by my viewer: "He detected my soul and is going to take it!". I like strong glares and suspended poses, energy is there but it is burning inside.


Lars and The World. Sound is broadcasted in a largest Finnish club Teatria as the bassist of Before The Dawn oversees the audience, as audiense is enfolded with blue light and some slow coda of another melodic death metal piece.


It is the best, when your picture is a story, a fairy tale. Some paraphrase of reality. Here I see the smoke of Sauna Open Air to resembe snow or a cold fog, the lights are gone and the reality of the picture is cold and windy. And there is Eicca, soloing some deep, soul-thrilling sounds as you used to hear from Apocalyptica.

Well, enough. Can not really tell whether it is good to shamelessly interpret my own pics and whether the idea of writing this in deep night was any good (I hate being too pathetic in writing). Perhaps next journal would be about impressions about someone else.
