Valokuvatorstai haaste 77 / photo thursday challenge 77

The challenge 77 of Valokuvatorstai is to assosiate from a poem:

Yks voima sydämehen kätketty on…
On voima, mi mielet nuorentaa…
Yksi on voima ylitse muiden…

[ a force hidden in a heart, a force, which turns the old mind young, a force, that is omnipotent over all others] (translations skills of mine are not too omnipotent, thou)



My version is as far as possible from poetic approach, I just took a picture of brain and I thought that it has to fit in for this weeks challenge..

The answer is: The power of Brain!!! (we only use less than 10% of its capacity and its located near by the sould)

Photo Thursday Challenge 67 / Valokuvatorstai 67


Photo Thursday Challenge 67. The task is to use your imagination triggered by a picture shown at the photothursday blog (some kind of forest picture).
This is my result: In a forest you might find a three where the knowledge of good and bad is living, apparently, inside an apple. And, of course, there is a serpent which is speaking (quite rare phenomenon) and trying to convince Adam and Eve to eat the apple... well.. this is quite far fetched this time ;)

Photo thursday challenge 65. / Valokuvatorstai haaste 65

P O R T A A T / S T A I R S


These stairs are from Galleria Spectra, Kristinestad, Finland. The attic of this gallery is huge and there is one room with okay floor and fire place. I got an idea last summer when I was participating an exhibition of local art society, this attic should be used for some kind of ghost or spooky room for children where they could do art and drawings when downstairs is the art society's own exhibition... have to talk with the head of society..
This week's topic "stairs" remided me a town in Kent, Great Britain, where I lived 1 month when I was 15 years old. It's called Broadstairs. But I don't have now any pictures of the town so.....

Photo thursday challenge 64 / Valokuvatorstai haaste 64

Waste / Saaste ... challenge 64 / photo Thursday

This picture is from Anomabu beach, Ghana. People are using the beach as a toilet, so when walking one have to keep eye on human shit if not wanting to step on it. The village council has tried to force people to pay for cheap toilet (substituted by government) but they claim that the smell is too bad that they prefer to do their thing at the beach instead..

here is one extra picture..

Photo thursday challenge 57 / valokuvatorstai haaste


The challenge of this week was to shoot a picture at 11pm sharp 1st of September, where every you physically were. So I was in a smoke sauna having a morning swett. - The smoke sauna keeps the heat for long time, for example, if it has been heated up previous day then you can still enjoy really comfortable time in next morning... (this time I didn't go swim at the sea after sauna.... the water is getting colder)

Oliver ja kukat / Oliver and flowers - picture challenge no: 49


[click to enlarge]
Valokuvatorstai challenge no: 49

Confused Oliver and problematic relation with flowers and himself. - for Oliver the obsession of flowers reflects his immaturity.... one day he will be seduced by flowery fragrance...

(this challenge was really hard, first i was thinking to put pic with no flowers what so ever, but that didn't feel right, then I decided to find a flower pic from my archive with bad result: I only have 2 flower pics, which aren't any special.. so this picture refers more to the feeling of the text by Jean Hanff Korelitz)

ps. if you wonder what is this Valokuvatorstai challenge thing. It is a Finnish blog, which have a weekly picture challenge with various topics, and not so easy sometimes ;)

what a heck, here are the flower pics:.....

One / Yksi

This is my first entry to "Valokuvatorstai" (photo thursday) challenge, challenge 48.
I took this picture during a shoot of a short film "Fullkomin (Perfect)" in May.
- sometimes love is one sided, and sometimes desires and attractions clues people together and makes them as one.
