Gorgeously beautiful and white creatures on the river, on the sea or lake. The swans. Who would not like to take pictures of them? My great collection of swan pictures inspired me to write another Penny's story.

It all started with a cup of coffee one Tuesday afternoon after work and the idea struck me...

When I first saw some illustrations and comics by Mari Ahokoivu, I remained speechless for a while, just silently turning one page after another. The next step was to search for her blog on the internet and once again I was silently clicking the ‘next’ button and being absorbed into a small world of her honest stories. You can find yourself very easily in her narration, you can even say ‘Hey, this is about me too!’. I followed her blog entries for several weeks and because I have found so much inspiration there, I decided to bring her stories and great talent closer to you as well.

Winter in Finland means combination of three things – endless tracks, hours spent in the nature and of course skiing. People can be crazy about it. Count their kilometers or even the calories. However, I think the most beautiful feeling is when you stand on skis for the first time and every little success and moving forward bring you a feeling of a great achievement.

Let’s be honest. Who doesn’t like mum's cookies and cakes? But then what... Holidays are over and together with them our lazy days are over as well. Then we find out that those muffin tops on our bellies are not fitting in jeans. Who cares? The sweetest season needs some muffin tops and some laziness. Don’t you think so?

It's already the end of December and I must say that 2012 came by so fast! I mean, I just realized that next month is January 2013! For me personally, 2012 has been a long, adventurous, wicked, and fun year! What more can I say? Here's my 2012 in Analogue!

It's finally Christmas Eve today -- have you checked if your Christmas stockings are already hanging somewhere in your home? How many of us are even still doing this Yuletide tradition?

We're often in search of sources of illumination. Either, literally, pure light, or works, people, and places that serve to illuminate us. Two artists have been traveling the globe for a decade with a crescent moon and have ingeniously created a photo series that tells the age old love story between man and moon.

After a hectic week in Ubud, now come the third or sadly my final week in Ubud. While finishing up the fieldwork, going here and there, meeting and interviewing important people, I finally found some free time on my third week here. How's the third week in Ubud? Let's see!
-
After a great week, my first week in Ubud continue to the second week but this time I really put my time to do some serious fieldwork. Prepare the questionnaire, questions for interview , guidelines for focus group discussion and other tools for gathering the data that I need during fieldwork. To be honest, I was a bit stress to start this but I have to do it and I must. Here's the second part of this series!

This September, I was busy preparing proposal research (yes I'm a student who goes on fieldwork to gather data for thesis). At that time, it was a bit hectic to prepare all the things before I go on fieldwork. Oh I forgot to mention that Ubud in Bali was my destination, a place which is quite famous in Bali. Oh well this time, I will tell how I spent my 3 weeks in Ubud!

Whether you are in Finland for a year or just for few days, you have to visit at least one of the harbours and experience its atmosphere, smell, vibe, wind and greedy noisy seagulls. But be careful, all the harbours have their little dangers.

Redscale, mainly at the beginning, caused these contradictory feelings in almost every Lomographer. This is my own story with this film, both sought and avoided.

My first Lomography affair began while my first love affair bloomed. So here's the story about my first photos with my first love, by my first Lomography camera, in my first year in college.

Photography is one of the ultimate keys charting your memory. Using still images can often times be more flexible than moving ones as they allow you to recreate what went on through your own narrative! Turkish filmmaker, Erdal Inci, made series' of videos, put together by "sequentiallyarranged photo frames". Turn your beloved photograph into something whirling, in your brain and in video form!

Okay, this may be cheesy. It's about my love story. Even if this is quite personal, I think I will share it to show you how big Lomography's part in my life is.

Many times you could not really believe some silly jokes based on stereotypes or some other fake features. When Penny heard the silly joke about Finnish people and weather in Finland, she just laughed, but did not believe that actually a part of it might be even truth.

I recently completed a half-year internship at the Lomography HQs in Vienna. I'm still with Lomography though, just not as an intern, and not in Vienna. My journey with Lomography, like yours, started with a camera, but my journey with Lomography has for the majority been with the people behind-the-scenes. Allow me to share that story.

It all started with an idea; that this summer, my friends and I would take a road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. What was at first just a plan, quickly turned into a real adventure. This is the story of my endless, analogue summer with my two film-loving best friends.

One of my favorite authors of all time
is the one known for his ability to rhyme.
Dr. Seuss made reading so entertaining,
most children would do it without complaining.
