First week

So, this has been my first week @ Perkkaa. And I kind of love it. There is nature just around corner, not too long away from Helsinki and work. From Monday on I'll be cycling to and from work. It's around 10km one way, so I'll be rolling around 100km per week. Which suits me fine, because my goal for summer has been 1000km in 4 months. Last year I was few hundred shy of that. Well, now that my Muru has cycle too and there is lots of geocaches to be founded, we'll be mostly cycling to the caches, but also driving our "geomobile" Kelly too. It's just so great to roar countryside road with steady, sweet and low rumbling sound of V-8... Who need's car stereo when you got 300 horses running under your hood?

Cheers!

Last day...

...well, technically after tomorrow I won't be living in here anymore. Last of my stuff is moved on saturday and cleaning on sunday-monday axis, after that I am not going to be live in Lauttasaari, at least not for a long time.

Life @ Lauttasaari

Life @ Lauttasaari is coming to end for now. Why? I am moving in with my Muru link. There might be a time to live in Lauttasaari again, but for now I'll be where my Muru is. I'll keep posting on this blog and changing the name too, when the time is appropriate. And maybe I'll post more often too. You never know. Cheers!

Damn, tags, can't write "less than three" as it should...

First rays of spring...

So, it's been a while since my last post and much has happened since then, but here's the recap:

High bloodpressure, spring, love, happiness, work, having way less beer, vacation, snow, walking on thick ice, sunshine, photographing, love and gotta find bigger apartment...

Last friday I spend my first breakfast @ balcony. Man, that is awesome!

White Yaksmas!

I has been a while, since we had a white Yaksmas. This year has been a good year for me, so no wonder that this will top it off.

Happy and Merry Yaksmas to everyone!

My baby

So, I finally got my baby. 1970 Chevrolet El Camino, with 350 cid(300hp) and TH-350. I drove her from Teuva to Helsinki on tuesday and it couldn't be any better day to drive around small countryroads and just cruising. I was suprised about the mpg, since I filled tank to full on Teuva and after a 250 mil(400km) trip to Helsinki it was only 14 mpg(16l/100) and half of the trip I was cruising on highway about 87 mph(140kmh). Althought there is much to do with her, but technical side is in order, so all I have to do is just drive her around and fixing little bit here and there. As I yesterday was unloading the "junk" that came with her, I found that the previous owner was going to restore her in formef glory and there was around 700-800$ worth of new items. 18 years of dreaming has finally come to end.

Back to basics

So, I sold my Canon gear. I shoot now only with Fuji S5 Pro and Nikkor lenses. Althought I liked my Canon 5D very much, but Fuji has better dynamic range and keeps me out of the computer much more. More time to shoot, less time to tweak shots. Tomorrow I got the news about my Elkie. Yay!
