Yesterday, I started a new photo project which I have been meaning to commence for a looong time, namely to document the urban surroundings of my home town Helsinki, Finland. Helsinki will reveal itself to you in two formats, namely B&W and in color. I started out with Kallio, which has transformed itself into a very vibrant part of the city, with a lot of small retaurants, clubs and young people in general.

My attempt is to portray the ordinary every day views of the city and its life in photojournalistic manner. Let's see if I can accomplish this task and if it will bring you new insights into places, which you may have overlooked or not even known existed. :)
