<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI became interested in photography mainly as it made possible to meet nice girls, travel and at the same time make money doing so. I was not very much interested in actual photographic technique. My father bought me a used battered leica M2, as he said: My technique is so lousy that you better look like a photographer with decent tools. So I was happy to start out with a Leica M, Nikon F and a couple lenses, doing mostly Black &white 35mm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Color came into pictures when doing Advertising images. Also the 6\u00d76 and 6\u00d77 (plus larger) color film sizes. if I would just have done magazine work, I would have stayed with Leica and Nikon 35mm cameras. Kodachrome 64 in 35mm is just about the most fantastic color material there ever was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a Kodachrome 64 image from IBIZA.

More and more young guys like the feel of Film, both color and Black & White, Not to talk about Hollywood film industry and film schools..<\/p>\n\n\n\n .I have had also other interests all along: JAZZ and Racing models I am one of those \u201crenessance men\u201d with many interests. Luckily I became quite goor at those other areas too. My own jazzband and ten times Finnish champion in car racing, as team boss\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n I must admit, I have had a GOOD LIFE\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Persona My persona is divided in three segments; Tecnical (Cars-racing-design). Music ( Jazz and saxophones) and Finally PHOTOGRAPHY. This website is about Photography.
