sunday

stressed out

Been having some problems with my new project for a few days now. Feels like I'm stuck, trying too hard or just putting too much pressure on myself and it's making me feel really frustrated. Need to chill out a bit I guess and maybe read something or just watch a good movie...

Jameson send me a really good link to a photographer I've totally forgot about.

Nelli Palomäki's portraits are amazing and made me realize how much I miss shooting medium format and b&w film.

These portraits are from her project I, Daughter.

Trying to work hard on my new uni project. Went to the beach again today and it was pouring down water and when I got back home I was absolutely soaked. nice...

Brighton

We went to Brighton photo biennial and photo fringe yesterday with our course.

It was my first time in Brighton and I have to say, that I had a really good time. The weather was amazing and all the exhibitions just left me speechless...

I had my Voigtlander rangefinder with me and took a few photos.

Check out Liam's blog for more photos as well.

website

www.toiviainen.org finally works. I decided to get new hosting plus a new domain name from the same finnish company. I'm working on it and hopefully the finished website will be up and running soon.

Finally began working on a new project this morning and met this old gentleman at the beach.

He told me that he has found over £3000 worth of stuff on the beach and that his son studies photography as well.

since it's not season now, he has only found coins and such today, but nothing really valuable yet.

b&w

Few portraits that I scanned today at uni.

website update, again

I began working on my website last year, but never finished it.

We just began a unit called Digital Portfolio at uni and our brief is to design a website among other things. So, I know for sure that this year I will get it up and hopefully done soon(ish)...

Here's a new design for my website. I wanted to keep it simple and easy to navigate through.

let me know what you think.

cheers!
