Semi new times

Hiya, 

So the promised change in my dull blog should happen now. Hm, I'll do it gradually, ok. Heh.

24 Today has been a warm day. A day so warm that I've dreamt of swimming. Still, I haven't swum. I worked from 9 to a 4:40. A big change, on my scale is that I've changed the train for bus when I go home from work. It's faster, around 3o minutes in comparison to the train 38 minutes. The bus is less convenient and of course a bigger polluter, so I have to reassess my decision, when I know how much people are using it. At home a friend of my father, Juhani Seppovaara, visited us. His making books for living, with photographs. Since my father wasn't home I had the wonderful opportunity to learn from him. We looked at pics I'd taken and he commented on them. 

- The lighting is not very successful in this picture, and neither is anything else, he said at least once. 

From around 70 pics, around 5 where in his taste. That's nice. I'm going to be kind and give tips. I'd rather keep quiet and be better than you. 

1. To take pictures on clear sunny is not recommendable. In fact it's stupid and should be avoided. The shadows are too dark and the light is too hard on later areas.

2. When taking pictures of a person. Never cut half of hands away. When cutting, don't cut ankles or knees, but thighs or smalben(swe)

3. Composition, understanding of lighting, choosing interesting objects, using the feet-zoom, rendering are essential features of a good photographer. Here are the pics he liked, including the one above:

23 Yesterday, Wednesday, I worked as I used to. A friend of mine, Kai, came to the parliament and we lunched together. It was the first time I saw him since returning from Glasgow. As he said, it felt like, we'd seen each other yesterday. After work I met Titus and bought a new deo stick - Issey Miyake Bleue, for 24 euros. Smells nice under my arms, yes, why not. From there me and Titus travelled to the north of Helsinki where we met Jan and his sister. We walked from there to a pitch. We were 18 people playing football under a very hot sun. I had to face the fact that my physical shape is not good. I need to exercise more. We played until 8:30. Me and Titus took the train to Böle and from there to Jorvas. We dined around 10:45 and I went to bed 11:30 tired tired.

22 Tuesday, I worked as usually. At home me and Titus created our new myspace page. Check www.myspace.com/thebandbigtick There you can listen to three songs we recorded on Monday. Everything is recorded at once so the sound quality is not the best. The music is. We are called Big Tick and our first new jam tunes are called Big Tick, Needless to Say and Bra(good Swe.). Be our friend on myspace, please.

21 Monday - After work me and Titus started recording. We played from 5 to 9 and got three tunes done. Listen to them. Check the link above. After recording we played football and ran in the woods. To end the physical training we swam in the hole. 

20 Sunday. On Sunday we went to the sauna. I swam in the small hole on

19 Saturday. Our parents arrived home from there biking trip in Sweden. They were on the Island of Gotland. It's the place were Ingmar Bergman lived and is buried. The house was nice and clean. We had good food for the first time since they left. I can't remember what it was but it was good. In the evening me and Titus played football and Mamma bought 10 kg of strawberries and we had crepes for late dinner, with strawberries and whipped cream. Then we watched Paris Je t'aime. It was my second time. Then sleep 

18 Friday. The picture from the last post describe the day. Football, sun and swimming. The only thing you cant see from the pictures is that Titus and me cleaned our house, mostly Titus.
