Last month I secretly filmed this cute couple being cute. This morning I had a letter from Pekka Halosen akatemia(=a vocational art school here in Finland) and they're offering me a place on a 2,5-year course in art! I feel like the acceptance letter is going to crumble and just vanish, but luckily letters don't do that. I remember sitting in a hot classroom crammed with applicants for three days just pounding out ideas on paper and being absolutely exhausted and thinking I'm turning in work that isn't good enough. I get to study art full-time for almost three years.

I'm completely obsessed with double exposing, still.

"Miks sä valitat et sul ei oo tai sinä et voi tai sulle ei anneta? / Miks sä tuijotat vain ikkunasta betonia ja parkkipaikkoja? / Mene tuonne siel on suuri metsä / kanervia ja männynneulasia / Katso ylös niin näet puiden latvat / avaruudet vievät linnunradat" -Kauko Röyhkä

So, I've optimized viewing over here for 1024x768 display resolution and it looks good for me! Hope it's displaying alright for you guys, too.

I spent almost a week at my dad's cabin. It rained, it didn't rain, the water is low this year and rodents had chewed the bark off from the roots of pine trees. The seagulls have made a nest in an unusual place this year. Perhaps more to come.

Let me know if you're having some side-scrolling issues on this blog. I don't get those, but some of you might.

Went to the zoo about a month ago and saw animals in cages. Also, I tried to nail this portrait of us again, but I continue to experiment with it.
