I categorized a few thousand photographs from 2006 and moved on to 2007. While organizing, I didn't really pay attention to the quality of the photographs, but some of them caught my eye, and I decided to publish them straight away. There wasn't anything else to do, other than watching Stargate, which I had already done rather intensively for almost a week. This was something I had meant to do for a very long time, but never really got myself to do it. It's very inspiring, though it takes ages and seems endless. It reminded me, once again, of the importance of adventures.

As soon as I get on my feet, I promise to go out, take photographs, and publish them. I've allowed myself to be way too busy with work. Composing music, as fun as it is, cannot replace photography, and maybe I've also had those two out of balance. More photography, less work and lots of composing. Now I only wish somebody would remind me of this, OR get me a super big deal so that I don't have to worry about marketing projects for the next five years or so.

I got A LOT done outside the computer world - cleaning and organizing for instance. I wish I could somehow simulate this situation to get the same results...

Went to a rave tonight - for the first time. It was pretty neat. Good for dancing, but that kind of music wouldn't last listening. Yeah! Now I understand why Scooter fans aren't too picky about the music - it's all about the bass drum, bleeping leads and dancing.

And now that I think about printing my images, should I have a prints account here in dA? I've been pretty strict about uploading photographs only in small size (800 x sumthin', because I haven't wanted to think about their printability. So, prints, anyone? Worth the trouble? I do enjoy most of my art digitally, and love it. I don't have to OWN the art to enjoy it, let alone carry it from one place to another (when moving, for instance). Owning sucks anyway.

I'm going to use my photographs as the cover art for the record, if there ever will be a physical record. The CD format is kinda dying, and I thought it might be a good time to revolutionalize the publishing method a bit. I'm thinking about a booklet without the CD, provided with a download code. That's the way I would like it to be - I wouldn't want to lose the visual/physical artwork that comes with music. As a graphic designer I want to dress my music with my photographs, because those are the things I see. My music might be less mysterious than the photographs, but it's good to keep some sort of a balance there. I've actually written a song about wandering in a storm drain, so maybe the photographs and the music are not that far after all.

I will be releasing my first album at some point in 2009. It doesn't have to be perfect, I just need to do it. It's a start.

Oh, and I accidentally named my 400th deviation as "End up", I thought it was a noteworthy coincidence. It certainly isn't an end of an era, it's more like the current state of photographic progression.

So I draw a conclusion - my inspiration needs light. Or at least some changing circumstances, otherwise my senses will be less receptive for artistic impulses.

Soon I will launch [link], but it's still in the making. I need to design the layout and the other contents that will be there for your entertainment. It may sound ridiculous, but I think it's going to be something of a portal for the things I'm doing. Our company, Netura, has also some major plans to take over the world, and I'll tell you more about them in the forthcoming months as we progress. Our content management system for webstores and websites, attached to our groundbreaking methods and deals will be awesome. But until then, I'll just keep my head cool and humbly submit photographs for the world to have a glimpse of what I think is worth seeing. I could also tell you about our reseller program, but this might not be a good place for that. After all, it's just a place to put my ART to, not a business platform. While I hate being classified as a businessman, I find it very rewarding to be able to make a living with the things me and my company have made from scratch.

There might be a joint-effort-series'o'photographs by me and Rustymetall, something like my recent industrial series, Maze, was. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9834055/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9834055/ Thu, 24 Aug 2006 01:00:53 PDT ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9672174/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9672174/ Thu, 10 Aug 2006 01:11:28 PDT
Some features are also pretty bad, even though I see that at least they've tried to make it better.
Along with this "upgrade" some really nifty features have been removed, which I find really odd and wrong. One of these features is the "new messages" section, where there used to be a clear separation of which kind of new messages have arrived, now it only states that there are "this many new messages". Another missing feature is the ability to open a deviation already at full size, not having to click it bigger. Why have these great features been removed?

While the majority of this "upgrade" is more or less stepping backward, there are some things that have gone forth. First of all, the search is actually working (for non-subscribers too)! Incredible. I think this is an attempt to keep up the pace in the race with Flickr, DA just cannot compete without a decent search. The thumbnails are now bigger, and what I really like is how the front page shows as many deviations as your resolution can handle, so that the 800x600 users get 3 deviations and the bigger your resolution gets, the more deviations you see. Galleries also use the same system, but they still show only 24 art pieces per page.

Generally I like the way buttons and links and such are "hidden" to save space, but in the button column of the deviation view page I find the popping-up explanation texts disturbing and redundant. They could very well just be normal alt-texts (you know, the ones that come up when you point at an object for a while).

The user page has also gotten some positive attention, since now there are four thumbs of recent works instead of just one. Otherwise I find the changes rather minor. I like the way the "submission buttons" are now in one place. One thing that I kinda missed, that has also been removed (or hidden so that I didn't find it) is the artist's gender. I find it interesting whether an artist is male of female. Don't know exactly why, but maybe it somehow helps to see things from the artists perspective. It's not the point, I know, but anyway, I wonder why the gender information has been removed.

Oh, and I still have to mention that I hate the "moods" thingie. Although it is a logical progression for this place, as it's becoming more and more like a playground for wannabe-artists (like me?).

Don't know if the "friends" button in the upper right corner is just another redundant feature or a handy addition.

That's all for now, I need to experiment more with this new system. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9342467/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9342467/ Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:16:55 PDT ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9259649/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9259649/ Mon, 03 Jul 2006 10:40:46 PDT

Okay, so here's the plan...I'm going to finish the Maze series (a few more pictures to go) and then start a new series from Lohja, in which I found myself trespassing in a demolition zone. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9101901/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/9101901/ Sun, 18 Jun 2006 03:00:27 PDT
Finland's UE scene has been growing, or at least organizing, mainly because of the rather newly founded forum. There was some talk about organizing a visit to the power plant A of Hanasaari, and one of the forum members was willing to organize a visit (what a kind thing to do). The plant has been used for a number of music videos and some other projects, so this was a rather easy-to-organize visit for the owner company.

So, on Monday the 12th of June this rather unusual UE visit took place. I tried to get to the power plant by car from my friend's place. I supposed it would've been easy to find the place because the distance was only about one kilometer...but since I don't know Helsinki too well I didn't get there on time. So the others had to wait for me a while (sorry, guys). But they seemed not-too-angry and the tour started off nicely.

The place was huge (though the newer one is even bigger, maybe a similar visit will be arranged to the power plant B in 2020...). First we were guided through the power plant from the highest floor to the ground level. I took pictures during this first round, even though there would be another round, mainly meant for photography. We were told about the history of the place and how the demand for electricity had changed to the demand for heating. The output of the active plant consists mainly of heat production, the city is being held warm by the power plant, only 1/3 of the energy is in the form of electricity.

Huge coal burning devices, bottomless coal shafts, pipes running all over the place, lovely metal-grid-floors (you could many floors down underneath you). All the original devices were there, and this is a really rare sight for an urban explorer. And for a photographer this was also very suitable, because the place was actually lit...there were lights all over the place. Of course all the original lighting wasn't there anymore, but still it was very well lit and it was rather easy to take photographs without external flash.

We also got to check the roof of the power plant. What a beautiful view to the sea, the industrial harbour and the centre of Helsinki.

I shot a good number of textures. There were LOTS of great surfaces to be shot. All this material will be used in my work as a graphic designer. I only wish I could create more grunge layouts, I would have loads of material for that. If I had a stock account in DA (which I have given some serious thought many times, but never done that...I might be too selfish to do that, though I know it would not be of any harm to me, more likely the contrary), I would put these textures available there. What a monster of a sentence. Anyway...

It was lots of fun to explore the place, though there was a constant feeling of being a bit restrained because of the guides. But I managed to get rid of that feeling quite effectively, since I knew they wouldn't care if I took some liberties in sneaking into some places. Some great photographs were found "off-route"...you'll see. I will publish at least six more photographs from this visit.

Of course you will not get a very good picture of the place because I don't do documentary photography, others are more interested in that and will do a better job in that, so maybe a link will follow.

That's all for now, enjoy the series!
More pictures to be uploaded next week.

Me and my crew visited a small, but powerful torrent/river-like thingie the other day and of course I had to go "down and dirty" to take some photos. I stood there in the very cold stream, fought against the flowing water and took some photographs of the flowing water (it came out from a rather large tunnel). I might post something from that visit, too bad that there are only a few (bad) photos of me walking into the stream. But...you'll see the pictures that are worth seeing. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8748125/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8748125/ Fri, 12 May 2006 09:30:48 PDT
I have a lot of "forgotten art" hiding on my hard drives, and I've been trying to dig that out by creating a "submission line". Basically it's just a folder to place photos, that could use some attention. As stoneage as it sounds, it has helped me to get things published. There will be alot of older stuff flowing in, as well as a bunch of new images. Of course the newer stuff comes first.

Stay tuned, if you're still interested! ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8649056/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8649056/ Tue, 02 May 2006 06:09:34 PDT
We had to sleep at the airport and the bus that was supposed to take us from the airport the Victoria station. Due to some misunderstandings, we never caught the bus from Victoria to Newcastle, so we had to take the train (there were various other things complicating this, but I won't go into details). In the train we had no seats, so we sat on the floor for the whole trip (3 hours), also slept there. Sleeping on different floors, in a cafe, a train...

Also, getting the tickets to the actual event would have been impossible without the help of our kind host, Kathryn. She was waiting for us at the railway station and took us first to the supposed ticket-picking-up-point, the tourist information centre. Of course there were two tourist infos and we went first to the wrong one. When we finally got to the actual picking-up-point, the tourist office was closed. So...we had to head for the event area. This would have also been very much complicated without Kathryn (and her car). She drove us there and the staff told us to go from one place to another, finding another person, since they couldn't help. Well, after some four groups of staff we found a person that was able to help us. Kathryn wasn't willing to give up, and neither was I...I didn't come all the way just to be turned down. So, with some stubbornness, patience, and proof (e-mails) we were able to get our tickets. What a relief.

As we had our tickets, we had time to get to Kathryn's place, settle in, make some food, chat and relax... With a few ours of relaxation we were good to go, underclothed, but ready. Metro took us very close to the event and we had some more food (hadn't really had time to eat properly for a few days, and even though we just ate before getting to the place, we were still hungry). Baked potatoes with cheese and beans - mmm. We stood there for one and a half hour and then the show began. The audio system was brilliant, not too loud but loud enough to feel like a concert. The film was very dramatic and I think the soundtrack was quite appropriate for it. In the music, you could really hear the respect for the events taking place in the film. The whole shipyard (the event area) was covered with gorgeous coloured lighting...the cranes around looked really mysterious. This was a perfect place to hold such an event. I was a bit afraid of rain, since it rained in London when we got there, but luckily we we spared from that.

And today...started slow and will be a slow. We've earned some rest. But who knows what kind of adventures lie beyond...at least some photographs will be taken.

Have a good life, people. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8567145/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8567145/ Mon, 24 Apr 2006 02:40:52 PDT [link] I explained briefly about my image naming process, it made me analyze more about the way I give names to my images. Here is an expanded version of my reply.

A few words about my photograph naming process
I don't usually name my photos after the first thoughts that have been awaken by the image. When I look at the photo, a number of thoughts, ideas, problems and general phenomenons start flowing. I let my thoughts fly for a while and then pick up a name. Usually it's not directly connected to the photograph, it's just a phase in my thought process. And sometimes (quite often, actually) the names don't make any sense at all. I don't see any point in naming the picture after the things that can be seen in it, because those things are already in your mind. Well, in my case, the images are mostly quite abstract, without a distinct object to point the name at, and thus the name could actually help in grasping what is being shown. On the other hand, that's not what I want. What the image is taken of, is not important. More important is what it looks like.

There are a few reasons why I don't name my photos the obvious way. Firstly, I don't want to guide the viewing experience too much, and secondly it's more interesting to see what an indirect connection (i.e. the unexpected name of an image) to the contents can do to the viewing experience. Even right now I make it sound too complicated, 'cause it really isn't that big a part of my workflow. But still I have my reasons to name my pictures the way I do. Sometimes it seems that there is simply no point, even though I have given some careful thought to the name. And I don't even see the importance of thinking the names too much, an art piece becomes complete when it meets the audience. So if I name a picture, which will become seemingly insane, someone finds a personal meaning in that particular name. And that's the power of wicked randomness!

In the picture description field I usually tell something about the thoughts that led me to choose the name for the image. But the origin of the thoughts is in the image...directly or indirectly. Of course my real life experiences are also very closely connected to my personal viewing experience, and thus the thoughts arisen by the image might not seem very close to the actual contents. And sometimes I just like to speak my mind, and connect the thoughts to the photo, without trying to weave them artificially together. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8538515/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/8538515/ Fri, 21 Apr 2006 07:11:41 PDT

There are lots of changes going on in my life right now - I'm leaving lots of stuff behind. But my images are coming back! ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/7005879/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/7005879/ Thu, 10 Nov 2005 03:46:57 PST
1st of Nov
Local university tunnels. Underground maintenance pipes and buried students (they knew too much).

3rd of Nov
Local old bus station (it's being demolished) at night. Creepy & fun.

5th of Nov
Bus station again, this time in daylight. Shooting. Some pictures to be released from this trip!

6th of Nov
- An old limestone quarry in Montola (revisited).
- And old furniture factory in Suonenjoki. Great mould downstairs! With more time and equipment I would've taken some pretty "ewh" shots. It was the greatest mould ever!

7th of Nov
Trying to revisit university tunnels again with Aisling - with no luck. At least I met a new urban explorer, some co-operational trips might follow!

9th of Nov
A soon-to-be-demolished slaughterhouse in Pori. It was very, very dark and I left the place without any photographs (again!). Well, some pretty good photos could've been taken in daylight - but at night they would've turned more like documentary shots. So I skipped the photos and concentrated more on the actual exploring. Afterwards I realized how much I actually NEED to photograph in those places. After all, photography was the original reason why I started exploring.

11th of Nov (coming)
Something in Suonenjoki or Pieksämäki. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6911702/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6911702/ Mon, 31 Oct 2005 00:19:23 PST

This is a common problem among digital photographers, right?

I know that next Sunday I'll be off for a photoshooting session and there will be a few gigabytes of photographs to browser through. OR I could TRY to change my shooting habits and THOROUGHLY think what the image will be before I push the button. It's is highly improbable that I will do such a thing, but it would be worth a try. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6726069/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6726069/ Mon, 10 Oct 2005 00:23:19 PDT ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6664861/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6664861/ Mon, 03 Oct 2005 01:04:20 PDT retty) autumn pictures and some other stuff... But no. I'm not submitting them yet.

I have so many things going on, that I need to put DA aside for a while. I'll be back, don't worry.

I was away for a week and now I'm totally confused by all this community mess. I think something "wrong" is being done, but I just don't know what it is. I found this, though: [link]

I hope it helps YOU to see the big picture. I'm still working on it.

I don't know if I want to hide my gallery to support the cause. I have less than 2000 pageviews in about 20 months, so my influence isn't that big. I know that hiding my gallery is the least I can do to support the "community spirit", but before I know what is really going on, I won't take any action. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6176909/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6176909/ Tue, 09 Aug 2005 09:06:40 PDT
The planning for our next exploration has already begun.

In the meantime I shall just spend some time in the scrapyard...or maybe find a new place to check out.

Hope you like my new shots. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6053817/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/6053817/ Thu, 28 Jul 2005 00:55:04 PDT [link]) will embark on a mission. Lots of abandoned buildings to be checked. I will be gone for a week and (hopefully) return with an insane load of pictures.

EOS 350D will be thoroughly tested during our trip. Not forgetting the ever-so-clever G6.

So it happened. First it was just an innocent crush. But just after a few weeks of dating... it evolved to love. The strangest thing is, that I didn't choose the one I fell in love with, but the successor.

That's right. I bought a new camera. Canon EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT in the States) to be exact.

It's a wonderful camera, but as a long-time LCD viewfinder fan I need to learn a whole new method of taking photos. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/5843575/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/5843575/ Tue, 05 Jul 2005 02:40:36 PDT ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/5701167/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/5701167/ Mon, 20 Jun 2005 05:22:35 PDT [link]

I know there are several UE sites out there, but they usually seem to be centrified to a certain area (which makes sense, but I'd like to do something with more functionality).

Imagine an UE portal... Does this sound too big? Am I out of my mind? I could be. ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/5317231/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/5317231/ Tue, 10 May 2005 04:00:21 PDT
For a while I've been wondering where to find more odd individuals in my region who'd be interested in urban exploration. Does anyone of you belong to such a group? If so, how big is it...and where you've been?

Is there any archiving program that creates folders for the images? Moving images in Windows Explorer is rather time-consuming. Also any tips for a replacement program for Windows Explorer would be appreciated.

I know Adobe has a program for this, but is it good? Any user experiences? If you have a great folder-based archiving method, please let me know! ]]> ~C2162 http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/4957700/ http://C2162.deviantart.com/journal/4957700/ Thu, 31 Mar 2005 02:39:20 PST

For so long I wanted to keep this a photography-only account, but why should it be like that? Photography is just one way to express myself.

I'm pretty convinced you'll like my digital art more than my photographs. Anyway, I'll still submit photographs too. Who knows if someday I'll let you hear some of my music also.

I wonder whether this calls for a separate site (or another DA account) to submit my graphical creations (others than photos; computer art, website layouts).
The original reason for me to create a DA account was to create a gallery for my photographic art, but in the end that's not all I want to be remembered of.

After all I'm a graphic designer, and I nearly always use my photos in my graphical creations. And that must have affected the way I take photographs.

Maybe I really should make a digital art website. What do you think?
A small example of my style can be found in my DevID. ]]> ~C2162
