My Mission in Photography and Life in general:

Around the change of century, in the year 2000, I woke up on the idea that I never imagined I would see the year 2000! As a young guy full of activity, the idea of turning 60 years, seemed the most remote.

At that time many things in my life changed, I grew totally exhausted and dis-illusioned about photography, mainly because of the "digital revolution". I no more wanted to make images professionally. The ideas and requirements for quality became so low that doing assignments felt like "selling rotten tomatoes on the market".

What I did, was finding new areas of activity: I became a salesman of remote controlled models ( my boyhood hobby) and took a course in Limo Driving, became a hired gun for drunken couples wanting to get home from restaurants & parties, glamorous occupation ?? Yes... you got honest money, at least. The time available I used to search for spiritual truths of Sufism, Gurdjieff, Indian Buddhism etc.
I also took up the playing of saxophone and all those 60`s BeBop tunes.

Since having been called to enter the "Circle of Spirituality" I feel compelled to "pay back" the energies and gifts of creativity, be it photography, music and other talents that I have been graced. I have straightened my brain and I again love to work on my images, but on MY OWN TERMS !
I know that the time available is limited, so I try to create a wide audience for my "work". That is why I am active in coaching young talents. I try to spread the word on various Iternet forums and I am having photo courses in my workspace here in Helsinki.
