This  is the first of two circles,  I'll share the second circle this weekend so that they're not so on top of each other.  The circles have been divided alphabetically to help give more exposure to people with fewer followers.

Please plus, comment and share.  This circle has no requirements for future participation but your support and encouragement is appreciated. 

It has been two weeks since I announced my intent to update my circle of the 500 most followed photographers on G+.  I decided to do things a bit differently this time and so I'll share the top 1000.   To build the circles and the list I enlisted the aid of +Bill Wood +GemmaCosta +Jen Baptist +Kat Scan and +Margaret Tompkins.  They built circles and vetted p... more »

Going there with Hasselblad, digital photography is so mainstream... ;)

Anyone else? Going with film or digital :)?

One of my paths...

Morning walk, 4,1 km / 34 min. (enough for mornings...), done.

ps. I bought a new battery for my light meter, so Timo the Hasselblad EL/M will soon be in full action <3

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Surely it's spring now :)

A few digital shots before the first Hasselblad photos appear online. At last I spent two hours with it today walking around here and there. The first results were frozen hands...
Naturally I didn't have a light meter so I picked the time and aperture by "feel" :)

Finally started my sweaty morning walks and jogging. Have to admit I love jogging by the sea and my legs and bottom love this gentle and slight ache :)!

Airborne again, surprise!
My pilot kindly took me with him to do some test flights yesterday. Naturally I took a few pics. At first we flew to Sipoo and then to Tuusula and then got the instructions from Helsinki-Vantaa air control to fly back to Malmi airport through Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
Exciting, usually small planes aren't allowed to do this.
Would have had the same chance today but I was much too lazy and tired to go...

Btw, I enjoy flying nowadays! At least in these small planes...

A few hours ago Kaspar Vaha won the Finnish boxing championship in the heavy weight devision. He knocked out his opponent Pirkka Suksi in the second round.
Actually it wasn't much of a fight... Vaha just walked through it. Even I who don't know anything about boxing could see it.
Anyway I had fun and took a lot of photographs :).

- I'm so brave! -

Last weekend I went flying with a friend. T o me flying is one of those scariest things in the world and yet I had to do it. I'm so brave :). Surely I will go again as soon as possible, it was so fun... I almost loved it! Well, I also have to admit that at same time it was so terrible...
 
The plane was Cessna 152 Aerobat (seating two). We flew over Helsinki for abt one hour and made one beautiful loop (no, I didn't vomit :D). Naturally I had my camera with me so I will show you some pics later how our beautiful Helsinki looks like from the bird's-eye view.
 
And yes, I’m still afraid of flying…

(Forgot to say, I took this photog with my mobile, terrible quality....)

Äidilleni 13.11.2012

Menetin sinut,
mutta olet mukanani.
Jokainen askeleeni,
jokainen katseeni
on myös sinun askeleesi, katseesi.
Jokaisena päivänä,
elämäni loppuun saakka.

To my Mother, 13.11.2012

I lost you,
but you'll be with me.
My every step,
my every glance
is your step, your glance.
Every day,
until the end of my life.

There are no words to tell how much I miss You!
