The crowd-funded Atelieri O.Haapala book is finally here and it is so beautiful I almost want to cry! The bi-lingual book -the texts are both in Finnish and English- features the studio's portraits and distinctive style of photography from the last decade (the studio/project was active 2008-2016 and produced more than 7000 portraits),  taking you on a journey trough an imaginary past: Performers, artists, family portraits, guests at events who photographed themselves in the popup photo booth, as well as some of the studio's own project series and adventure scenarios... ...not to forget a few of Saara and Marcos, the photographers', most iconic theme-looks!

You may have seen the Gucci campaign already, or you may not, and if so then here it is and I totally love that they did this: So much of that oh yes ! I'd wear it too.

And that shade of ice cream - pear ice cream. An instant childhood boost for me. You might have heard this story before, but we were in Heikintori in Tapiola with my mother and now late grandmother and it was warm and sunny and I got a pear ice cream and then my 9-month pregnant mother's water broke and we had to rush away and I did not get to finish that ice cream. Or so my almost

You may recall I have a huge love and fascination for all things miniature. As well as photo stories (my Milk Toof, remember ?). Minitature Wunderland is one of my favourite nerdy places to go when in Hamburg. So when I stumbled across Miniature Calendar and it's small smart dioramas by Japanese artist Tanaka Tatsuya I was of course blissfully happy! And there are so many of them, as Tatsuya has been creating these for years , one for each day. *late night insomnia browsing topics secured* Ah, so many genius thoughts there!

Since this autumn I've been following dancer Lil Buck on social media in total awe. Very inspirational and madly beautiful movement.
