Ella putting finger in it


Disco at the old nest


















This is a Disco Dave..... I could talk alot about this wonderfull chap, I have been around the world with him and then back again. Disco at the old house in Hakaniemi. I loved that house.

What a Capture

















On the tram one evening, I saw this guy and asked him if i could shoot a photo, he said yes and then i did, but i did n't realize about the peeps in the background !


Dreadlock Rastaman


















Hippies use the side door please.

Intresting People


















I was walking to the post office one day. Then these two just appeared from nowhere.

Party at cheri's house


















Elmo, Tweek, Lisa, Cheri, Panda, Rach and Kirsty. Cheri had organized a real nice party on friday last summer. There was lots of drugs and alcohol.

The Boys

















I think this has to be one of my favourite photos! Here we see Alex, a little bit under the influence, he has spilt beer all over his tee shirt and droped his food on the floor, then Sean and Tommy held him down to the ground and started to draw all over his face with a blackmarker pen while I took photographic evidence, I just love the contrast between these two, Alex is distraught and Tommy is just in a fit of uncontrollable laughter!

a mistake ?

















I like it when something like this happens. I was trying to take a shot of Tupsu and Andreas and some little shitty kid cruises past on a scooter.

2 Lovely Ladies!


















This is Laura and Nini, they are both simply wonderfull girls, full of life and laughs. we like smiles!

Jontte, Sean and Nini

I really like this photo, we were having a nice meal
at Meri's house, with lots of wine.

Perus Jätkät
















This is one of the many photos that I took for Perus, PERUS is a finnish skateboard company. It was the shoot for the catalog and website here we have Miika, Jesse, Pablo, Sami, MC and Jussi. for more details check this out  www.peruscrew.com

Jaakko and the German



















Why the German looks so angry ?

Alex and Pau














This was a pretty epic scene, It was the same night that Alex stole the whiskey bottle, Alex is genius, not coz he steals booze from behind bars but because he pretends that he can't speak English, He is from england!

Sleepy ?














He looked like a fairly well dressed business man, passed in the daytime by outside the metro.

Turkish Looking Dude

















Me and Essi went camping and I toke some photos of this beautiful place, we sunbathed, ate lots of food and went swimming. It's funny that this was the best shot that I took that weekend. How do Turkish people manage to get everywhere ?

Gangster

















I think this guy's name is Jani, i can't remmeber, and now I have known him for over a couple of years, so it's just too late to ask him what his real name is. so lets stick with Jani for now, we were skating and then he just happened to pull out this pretty gangster looking piece of head gear.

Man on the Metro


















I know i probably should not be taking photos of people asleep and then posting them on the interweb!

Tommy

















This photo does n't really need any kind caption next to it, oh shit, I just wrote one.

Vanha Kaupunki


















Here is Teemu, Essi, Andreas and Tupsu, we decided to go and have a coffee in the old town after skating on a Sunday evening, The cafe was closed.

Pau


















This is Pau and he is from Spain, after the bar Alex stole a bottle of whiskey and we went to the park to drink it and hung with the Spaniards until some ridiculous hour in the morning.

The nice guy Jesse and Andreas.


















Jesse stopped by my place at some point that evening along with alot of other people. This is after a few whiskey's.

Snoop

















This is Snoop, we call him Snoop for a very good reason, but i am not going to release that kinda top secret infomation on the inter web. I believe that his real name is Toni.

Tupsu and Me.


















Bonding.

Picklebacks


















You take a shot of Whiskey and then follow that down with a shot of pickle juice, I don't have any idea why a human being would torture himself with this horrible mixture. apparently, its big in New York !

Estonia

We went for a day trip to Estonia, on board was Essi, Miira, Andreas, Tupsu, Tommy, Alex, Jaakko and myself. It was a fun day with all the usual goings on. Everyone on the boat ride there was just super tired, but after our stop in The African Kitchen we were feeling like heroes! The girls went shopping and we went skating. In the evening we had a party at my house, apparently.

Did n't buy it


















Tupsu and the whiskey bottle we clearly didn't buy.

Tupsu sleeping, Andreas shooting



















On the way to Tallinn drinking jack daniels and coke and smoking cigarettes.

WAMMA RACE.03/07/2010

I have finally got round to putting some photos of Wamma Race from 3rd July 2010, for those of you who don't know what Wamma Race is. Please allwow me : Its is a skateboarding event which takes place once a year in kallio, Helsinki.
Its called Wamma Race because its a race ! Whereby each candidate enters a timed run round the course, then all the candiadtes are put into teams of 3 or 4, and proceed to tackle the course once again but with no pushing allowed ! just Tic Tac.
its a process of elimination 'till we have 2 guys left in the final.

To enter this mighty competition all you have to do is pay the entry fee : 2 Beers !
Prize : winner takes 'em all !

There is maybe 11 photos here documented from that epic day, plus i filmed the final round between Simo Mäkelä and Jeremias Delgado. It was a rad day i have too say.

Fake people



















Me and Lauri were visiting a friend at a her work place, after that we all went downstairs to drink some vodka. There was lots of storage space and lots of weird stuff, including theses mannequins.

Sami

 
This is Sami, he is quite the characater and a bit of a wizard on a skateboard, here he is sporting a nice shiny black eye. This actually came from skating, not fighting.... 

Late and Tommi


















Lauri and Tommi, here we are hanging out in Kallionhovi, another shit bar on a Sunday afternoon.
