yesterday we took a magic tour through the alps by the little red train.
Jacopo took his land camera.
the journey was a beautiful visual experience. I have chosen a 1990's style postcard to remember it.
I hope you all had a very merry christmas!

I have missed my darkroom equipment so much!
✻ some prints of fuji fp-100 negatives of various moments in helsinki. do you remember the positive of each one?2011 goal: find a way to bring all the darkroom equipment in finland.
some snapshots - kodak portra 400.
✻ korkeasaari

✻ I wish me and Jacopo could get done more photos of us together.we finally went to seurasaari today to feed some birds.

✻ lovely christmas letter from Miia
P.S. I have spent an absolutely lovely Pikku Joulu with Wensi and Jacopo last night - it made me really happy ♡
♡ from Joey
♡ my special handmade pencil case
my pencil case came with a christmas postcard. it is a present from Ukki and Mummi. Jacopo got his own pencil case done from the same artist when he was a little kid in Oulu.I also sent mail today.
then me and Jacopo decided to prepare our first MUUMI PIPARITALO.
♡♡♡I hope you enjoy the video about the house-making. my heart is full of love.
❅ travelling north part two.I have spent a magic weekend in the great north with Jacopo and his family. despite the two hours of light and the cold - we have made the most of our journey. the atmosphere was absolutely worth experiencing.
✻ some prints of fp 100c negatives.
crossing a frost lake is something that a few months ago I would have just been able to dream about - the sound of my steps on the snow was music to me.
✻ video related to a project I am working on.
[soundtrack for the video is "Popplagið" by Sigur Ros]
✻ scans from an awesome children book about the forest.
❄ a morning walk in white Rastila.
❄ Jacopo polished the negative of the second fuji fp100 and we got it print - the result is amazing to me.
❄ my bird friends in the snow and a new lovely visitor.
❄ it is easier to appreciate the sun when you get it just for a few hours.Jacopo and I are going to travel north tomorrow: Oulu here we come!
-14° ja Jacopo on täällä ♡
cold. snow. sweets. moomins. love. it really feels like Christmas already.
we went out to build a snow Pikku Myy: we want to share it here.❄ thanks to Kasia for the ski trousers!
for the first time today I felt the real snow in Helsinki.
it was snowing for a long time and I hope there will be more to come. everything is absolutely beautiful when the snow covers it. I have spent the whole morning looking at the snow flakes slowly coming down from the sky. now I know why I want to live here.❅ ❆ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❆ ❅ ❄ ❆ ❆ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❆ ❅ ❄ ❄ ❆ ❆ ❅ ❅ ❆ ❆ ❄ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❆ ❅ ❄ ❆ ❆ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❆ ❅ ❄ ❄ ❆ ❆ ❅ ❅ ❆ ❆ ❄ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❆ ❅ ❄ ❆ ❆
temperatures dropped under 0° and the wild little birds need more food.
✻ I have built a new feeder out of an empty butter box - the bright colour helps the birds to spot it from a distance in the snow.
✻ watching the birds coming to get the peanuts one by one makes my heart warmer - I am truly happy.
here are some backstage photographs - just got them developed today.
✻ I am going to be a yellow birch tree of course.
✻ the whole atmosphere was inspiring and it was interesting to see how the others around me were working.I can't wait for the next part of the workshop: it's going to be next week and I will keep on taking some photographs.
