Artist's Comments

This is my favorite photographs. This was taken in the center of Helsinki Finland during the last snowfall of the past winter. I used a toy camera called Holga to shoot this with B&W film. The combination turned out to be perfect for the scene as it usually is in street photography.

The mood was almost out of this world and I couldn’t repeat to shoot this even if I wanted to. This picture has won first prize in the FILE Magazine Toy Camera Contest and published twice in Lightleaks Magazine
