Jiggers
Helsinki, Vanhankaupunginlahti. 31.1.2009
I was looking for some mallards, but they have gone. Where? Instead there was jiggers on the ice. The weather was sunny but freezing. I cannot understand how anybody has the patience (and the ass) to sit ice fishing for hours.

Camera-hand
Helsinki, at home. 24.1.2009
I have strange rash on my left hand. Next week I have an appointment to a dermatologist. Today I realized where the rash comes from... The camera! The turning LCD with metal frames touches my left hand, and I have nickel and chrome allergy. Well, not a reason to quit photography.

Wheelbarrows
Helsinki, Eurantie. 13.1.2009
Renovations in the house next to mine have begun. Lots of noise and dust, but as usual the building packed in plastic looks intriguing as a Christo work. Even these wheelbarrows are like a sculpture. Daily art, just a few steps away. I hardly can wait for the plumbing renovations to begin in this house. Hmmm.

Omega
Helsinki, Sturenkatu. 10.1.2009
Time of this gold, silver and watches shop has stopped. The shelves are empty, the door closed. The enterprise was in the same quarter for fifty years. I'm glad that I took some pictures when the old watchmaker still worked there. In the past years mostly changing batteries... I felt pity for a qualified craftsman.

Another reality
Helsinki, Kaisaniemi. 7.1.2009
Cinema's lobby in the mirror. I went to see Jan Troell's film Everlasting moments (2008). It tells the story of a working class woman Maria Larsson in the beginning of the 20th century. She wins a folding camera in a lottery and finally learns how to use it and how to develop pictures from the glass plates. It's like a miracle. Photography gives happy moments in her hard life with seven children, lots of work and a husband who drinks and beats the family. Troell's film is based on a true story told by Maria Larsson's daughter.

Bird canteen
Helsinki, Vallila. 6.1.2009
Somebody has established an Alpro Soya chain of bird canteens in the nearby park. There were at least six of them. The customers were great tits and sparrows. Heavy and clumsy pigeons were waiting for their share on the ground.
More backyard sights can be found here and here too.
