Had a shoot with Katja today. She was great -just like last time – , but I seem to fail every time I get her infront of the lens. She has a strong presense and I have yet to match that with light. I’m getting closer thou. Hopefully she will allow me to take her portrait again. I just have to flip to mcnally-mode and think magic..
And who ever took the white chair from the hospitals backyard. I hate you! You ruined my photo today as my main prop was gone.

After the photoshoot I rushed home. I had to make something to eat, import the photos from the shoot, unpack and repack the gear, get all the stuff together and head out again. This time it was something complitely new to me.
I have walked around the Valkmusa swamp once or twice, but this was different. We were somewhere in Kouvola – I think . – I never sat in a hide before. Nor have I walked through the swamp waiting to get soaked.. I didn’t. I was amazed. I was sure that this was a swimming trip for me. Another suprise were my boots as they actualy kept the water out! Had a blast at the swamp!! Big thanks to all the fellows! Especialy to karvakuono who had a great hide for us to enjoy the day and the scenery. I learned a lot and got to know another side of a photogarphy.
Hmm. I’ve read this blog entry quite a few times now, and I must admit that I’m a little puzzled. How could you be surprised that you didn’t get soaked? I told you that it’s ok to walk there if you just watch your step.
Yes, the swamp is now part of Kouvola, used to belong to an area called Anjalankoski, but now everything is part of Kouvola. We are big city, you know. We have swamps, lakes, forrests, even a national park in town!
I’m glad if the afternoon and evening gave you an idea what my kind of photography is all about. That’s one of things I like about photography, it’s an hobby that can be added on to another, in my case nature and in yours I think it’s beautiful women. Next time around we’ll have to combine the two and create something never seen before..
Swamp fashion.. uuuh
