I've always believed that through photography you should be able to tell your story with just one shot. A series of photographs rarely shed more light on the subject. On the other hand, I have secretly admired people who are able to create meaningful sets of photographs, which accomplish this task. I decided to try this out and created a series of five photos, which in my opinion tell a story of everyday life in Kallio, Helsinki. You must view the photos in large size, since they contain more than meets the eye at first. Please let me know what your impression on the series is. How well have I managed to tell a story and what is the story in your opinioin?
