Technically it was a very hard job to pull off, luckily the great staff at Finnkino kept the dim lights on for a while so I got the job done (technically I was still going on the edge of cutting edge technology).

The crowd wasn't big but it is what it is and that's always enough. You work with what you have and try to make the best of it.

Thanks to Catherine at RB!

This was my second time shooting the freshman activities in Rovaniemi. Last year I was sick but still did it, and I was sick this year too. Bad luck bang bang.

If someone of you don't know what this event is, it's basically just university freshmen going from spot to spot and drinking, and in the end acting like asses (maybe).

Working for the school paper is cool, you get to throw out ideas and you get a little money from it. Too bad we don't have enough people writing for it, and people don't seem too inspired to work and don't put their effort in because "it's just a school paper" and blah blah. Always try your best, because nobody gives a shit about a half-asser. DAMN!

Scenes from the rehearsals for the new "Kokkola" play at the Kokkola citytheater. Too bad I didn't have time to go see it, since it opened after I had left town. Seemed like a great show!
