Winter is cold and dark and hell but I'll keep smiling. If it was any warmer, you might actually see the smile. Now you'll have to take my word for it.

Escaping to the countryside cuts down all the noise, all the rush. It's just quiet.

But in general the winter sucks, no matter where you go.

This is a color picture, that's why.

It's been about 18 years since I first picked up the guitar and decided that I'll learn how to use it. I had no ear for tone, rhythm or anything else that might have been useful but I had that spark, that seed of motivation, that false belief that by training like hell, I might make an impression on girls someday.

Don't know how that girl part worked out but the instrument itself has grown into me. It's become a body part and no matter how happy or sad I might be, this feisty little Fender (that didn't cost me a dime) is always there to make it better.

Apparently this pipe has become my favourite object to take photos of in Turku. Here goes another then.

52 self-portraits is gonna need a whole lot of thinking to finish properly. Let's see where and how it ends.
