*laikanet*'s photostream

I am an artist living in Helsinki, Finland. I paint, I draw, I design, I photograph and I write.
I have been away from for quite some time. I got caught up by Flickr, all it's wonderful tendril's, the tangle it creates and got buried deep into the net it spins. I needed a break and I had one.
Now I'm back and I'm happy to see lot's of old familiar names and bunch of new ones inspiring me once again.
I don't always know what I'm doing, I don't always have so much confidence on what I'm doing but somehow I just keep doing.
Thank you so much everyone for your messages and mails. I appreciate all the flattering, encouraging and kind compliments, congratulations and simple notes.
Working as an artist can sometimes be very lonely so feedback is precious.
I do have a story to tell, will you listen? Will you? Pretty please?
This photo of mine was published in the 24 hours of Flickr book

Yay! :)
My equipment:
Nikon D300
Polaroid Sun600 LMS (=light management system sic!) and Polaroid EE 100 Special.
I process my photos in Lightroom and in Photoshop CS5 on my wonderful Mac. Love those too.
