Workspace - My Very First One

Have you dreamt of your own workspace? I have. So many times. 

The year is new video - what happens now?

Wow. 2014. Happy New Year my dear reader! Once again it's a beginning of the new year.

Oh yes, what happens now? New things, new ideas, new hair, new shoes, new everything...new year brings possibilities and responsibilities. Have to make decisions...about things you want to do or want to change.

Balance? It is so (forgive me the bad word) hard. When you have some things in balance the other ones fall apart. So you end up trying to get all things to the sacred balance...or does it even exist - balance? The golden middle way just might be the answer but accepting that there is no balance. That's why we live. Things are changing all the time.

I hope you follow my thoughts but who wouldn't think things like this when something ends and begins? At least once in a year it is good to step back and think what is happening and where one is going. I think. It doesn't mean that you have to change everything or be sorry of everything that you haven't done.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's great to be who we are but let's be even more! Let's do something that we haven't done before. Once in the month. That sounds fair or maybe every second month sounds nicer. You can choose. I will do it. Are you? 

Why I wrote this? Why I'm thinking these things? The reason might be a programme I saw in Yle Teema channel. It was a documentary about American prime time tv series. Such a brainstormer. I use to study Television and Cinema Studies in university and this series just caught my eye and thoughts. It's all about people and their behaviour. We - people. People are strange. People are odd. And we sparkle! Everyone of us. That is so great.

PS. I hope you liked my little New Year video. Had to play with sparkle sticks!

Photography Concept and Styling - PEOPLE

People love stories, don't they? I think it would be great to be a super super great storyteller. I'm a photographer and my work is about telling stories and we all have one. I'm sure you've heard the phrase the truth is stranger than fiction. 

What kind of people the stories are about? How the stories are born?

People want to be remembered and not forgotten. People want that their life story is valuable and worth telling and we all want to hear other people's stories. We can be inspired by people and their stories. We can find stories comforting and supporting or they just make us happy. We can relate to people in stories. We can also be so scared of stories and get too excited and feel uncomfortable. 

People who make stories for their occupation have a huge assigment. Yes, it is a passion and there's never enough time to tell every story. So we have to choose. But if we choose carefully - we can tell story of so many people with only one pic or story. 

I made this photo essay of the word people. What kind of story/stories these photos tell you?

I got this word People from my dear and talented friend Päivi. Her blog is K niin kuin Koti and she is blogging with her two friends there. Thank you Päivi!

This is the last post of the year 2013. This post is also one of my Photography Concept and Styling post series. You can find them all here. I've got so many great words from you. I want to thank you! I always welcome new words - if you have one in your mind. I started this series in March 2013 and the words I've used this year are triangle, process, connections, recollection, the song La Melodie du Bonheur, sunshine, circus, hidden, mundane and people.

I wish you wonderful New Year 2014! Make a wish!
