Noto

Street photography

As Goethe once wrote: ‘Sicily is the key to everything.’ I travelled there for the first time in April 2018. Something I had postponed for too long. I walked in the streets of Noto and felt the history of the city. I felt in my own country, somewhere I knew, and, at the same time, somewhere new, somewhere where there is a lot I need to explore.

I like to take photos of windows. It makes me imagine the life inside those homes.

Missing Vappu /8

Street photography

This year’s Vappu was empty. People stayed at home. they followed the social distancing guidelines that need to be followed now. The streets in Tampere where empty. Few people sat in the parc. The coffee shops were open only for takeaway. Hopefully, next year things will be better.

Street photography

Few food stalls were open in Tammelantori on Vappu day This year Vappu in Tampere. I went to the city center to take some photos of the people in the streets which were almost empty. Ona normal Vappu, Tammelantori (market square) would be full of people wearing their new or old students white caps. they would be out, not matter whether the weather would be good or bad, to celebrate the end of the winter, the approaching summer, the long hours of daylight, their students’ lives, their youth and their memories.
