Actually I probably have few photos to upload as I type this. I hope you like them, and I have to say, they are very finnish. Whether that is a good thing is for you to decide.

With this I'm going to stay happy for the rest of the day.


Here is the feature page [link]

And here is the amazing Norodoma who did it [link]

Thank you.

Next milestone is 10 000... How hard could it be?

Second band was again a girl band, this time with only much younger members. Stalingrad Cowgirls had three 16-year-old girls. They had a pretty good liveshow. I have liked their music for a long time, but I didn't know what to expect from them as a live band. They were good. I mean I thought they played well and had a nice attitude towards the crowd, but they weren't mindblowing.
By the way, my little brother (age 6) managed to charm one of them over pretty nicely. They talked the whole evening and they thought my brother was "adorable". I personally have to disagree, but if he has this kind of power over women, I have to take advantage of it before it fades totally away.
Just kidding, but I have to say I was surprised on how good these girls were with children. It's always fun to see a band that can do that.

third artist(well, now it's a band)was Ari Koivunen. Our own Idols winner who has a band called "Ari Koivunen". Although I find his stage performance bit too corny, he has an amazing voice. One of the best ones I've heard in a long time.
Still, the corniness of his performance kinda ruined it for me. I still enjoyed his voice, but every cliché he pulled made me wonder if I was watching a very old video of Iron Maiden or AC/DC. Still, when he was talking to the crowd he was pretty funny.

Next was Viikate, but unfortunately I missed their performance. I had seen it so meny times already that I just took a nap on the sofa which was situated in the backstage.

After Viikate came Olavi Uusivirta, a finnish singer/actor (I know.. I also hate those "/" artists) and he was really good! I was positively surprised. I decided that it was because he was an singer first and actor after that. It had to be that.
Anyway, he was really good. He seemed orginal and, most of all, fun to watch. In some really weird way he seemed like the singer from a band called Lapko. Their stage performance was pretty similar to each other.

After that was the performance if Uniklubi, roughly translated as Dream Club.
Although they do have few songs I like, I wasn't looking forward on seeing them live. Probably it was the fear of all those screaming teens or something like that. I'm sure they were good. I just didn't see it.

at 21.00 Jenni Vartiainen, formely from a joke of a band Gimmel, started singing. I had looked forward on her performance the whole day and it wasn't disappointing. I think she did great. She was looking really beautiful and I like the way she sings. She can really sing, which is something I wouldn't have believed while she was in Gimmel. Well, I'm glad they broke up and she has her chance to shine.

at 22.00 Amorphis took the stage. DAMN! There is a band that can blow your mind away if you aren't careful! The lead-vocalist just looks sick with his hair and he is one of the best overall bands on the whole day. Their songs rock, they look cool, they make the crowd go psychotic...! They rule. If you haven't heard of the band, I warmly suggest that you do. At least their newest album.
At times you can't tell what they are singing about and you can only hear yelling, but gladly, they do it pretty well.

Fridays last band was The 69 Eyes. Ok, they were good, but nothing special. Nothing I didn't expect (which is usually the case with the "bigger" bands).
They sang their hits and made people go crazy. Nothing new and nothing I didn't already know.

Saturday was started by Corruption Inc. at 14.30. They played for 30 minutes and I completely missed them because of things I had no control over. This was a damn shame, because I hadn't seen them ever playing live and it would have been fun to. I didn't, but it was good thing there were other great bands and artists.

Second artist to take the stage was Anna Abreu, the 17-year-old girl who lost to Ari Koivunen on the Idols-finale. She was also the only RnB-singer on the festival and was more of the American mainstream kind of singer. Ada, my lovely and overly social cousin, was disapointed because she "wasn't as goo... ]]> ~Polttouuni http://Polttouuni.deviantart.com/journal/19446821/ http://Polttouuni.deviantart.com/journal/19446821/ Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:26:15 PDT
And I'm going to a rock-festival this weekend. Hopefully I can use my new Sigma and take some good photos of some bands.


EDIT: I typo too much.

I guess we will see. Partaah!

The reason for this is that I have been living on my own for the first time in my life. Sure, it has only been a week and it is soon over (which I can't wait).

Now don't get me wrong here, I have been doing a really great job at keeping my house clean and things on order (I'm pretty sure I could live on my own if I got some financial help from my parents), but it has been a really strain. I have been working, coming home, washing dishes, cleaning the house... And these are things that I don't mind doing, but while I have been doing those, I have also been partying _every_ night for the past 5 days. I haven't slept and I have been drunk pretty much the whole freaking week. At the moment, my life is a wreck.

But hey, you are a kid just once, aren't you?

At least I can comfort myself with the idea that I have one pretty cool black and white photo I will upload as soon as I get home. It's nothing fancy and experimental, but I like it. It is just so happy.

I'm also very pleased that the other one of these two (whom name I'm not going to say since both of them have pretty strong oppinions about life in general, and I don't know what they would feel about me speaking about them on a public journal. I doubt they would mind, but hell, you never know) is actually the reason why I started taking photos. She (cousin of mine) got a camera when she finished school and I was in awe because of the photos she took. Of course I was still a young and a photo of a brickwall would have made me feel the exact same thing. Well, anyway that really made me think about photography, but soon I forgot about it. Then I one day stumbled on Deviant Art and just happened to find the photos of Gilad. First thoughts were "OH!" and "I want to be able to do that!".
And now with my camera I try to achieve that, although I understand I still have a long way to go.

My second and at the same time oldest cousin I want to thank for brainwashing me completely with his thoughts about religion and few other things. I have never met as smart person as he is, and I don't think I ever will. He could be described as a genius in more than one field of expertise. Currently he is studying law, mathematics and something that has to with Humanitarianism.

OH! And I have to ask! How on earth do you add DeviantID? I would love to, but I have no idea on how to...

So the morning came, I hear this ringing sound besides my bed. This girl got up from next to me and said that I need to get up as well. My head ached like someone would have smacked it with a sledgehammer... First thoughts were "Do I really have to?" and "why do you need me?".

Finally, I drag myself from the bed and we get to the stables...


I have never seen so many great locations to shoot in a one place, but because I was dead tired, I didn't take my camera. I felt like an idiot. Here I was, trying to help and looking just plain stupid. And this all could have been justified IF I had just brought my camera with me...!


Oh I'm an idiot...

"I'm sorry, but you need to do a bit too much to get that licence by the next week..." and "Sorry, but we aren't open in those hours..."

There are always going to be stupid people, but c'mon. Why do they have to bother me? Why do I put up with it?


Because when the working week ends, I'm free with fresh money in my pockets! That is the only reason I work. To please all my needs, not caring how stupid or useless they are!

Oh man. Phone started ringing again. I need to go.

So far everything has gone down the toilet. I sucked at tennis, I had to listen the most annoying person alive... Oh my god how hard it was.

Well, I guess I could play around with photoshop until I drop, but probably that is going to suck as well. Damnit.

This went on until I finally gave up and thought that I can't do nothing at 1 am that would support me today. So I went to sleep without any training. Well, nearly any, but the amount I had done, wasn't even close to the point I was suppoused to reach.


Anyway, I came to my school feeling utterly stupid. I thought I knew nothing about the subject and every calculation I make would just end up in complete failure.

As funny as it is, it didn't. My test went pretty well and I fairly confident that I got a good grade. We will see. At the moment I'm pretty happy with my skill to improvise.

But I'm lazy. Too lazy to do what I am supposed to be doing. Too damn tired and too focused on my summer vacation.

Oh well. I probably need to head back to my books...
