last day of october

Traveling photos of a business and leisure trip to Tampere last October. We traveled to visit Vaudeville Boutique and see some art exhibitions, and to enjoy the easygoing and friendly mood of the town. A good day spent mainly outdoors, breathing the cool, crystal clear air, photographing and having no rush at all.

Photos from the Boutique. The shop is beautiful, and full of delicious products. In the second picture Q is wearing a sequin hairbow made by me & lindontinker.


The fall was crisp, and quite cold too. Funny to look at these pictures now, when it's a totally different season. The colours are similar, but the mood is not the same at all. Now I wait for the sun, wait to see the colours again, back then I was silently welcoming the snow, darkness and coldness, saying farewell to the sun.



We visited an art exhibition "FLASH!" featuring kinetic and light art at Sara Hildén art museum. The building was austere yet beautiful, and some walls offered a great background for the silver- and sequin decorated dress Q was wearing (the dress was made from scratch by me in three days for a Patrick Wolf gig ). An impulsive ghetto-fashion-photography shoot followed. The place would be interesting setting for a more serious photoshoot as well. Some of the pieces in the exhibition were clearly old and quite boring, but there was many inspiring and beautiful works as well. The main work, a huge cylinder with rotating light-reflecting pieces inside was impressive.
