Väsynyt / Tired
From Occupy Boston. Some people seemed more out of place than others. I wasn’t sure who was dressing up to make a statement and who was genuinely themselves.

Miehitys / Occupation
I recently spent some time photographing people at the ongoing occupation of Boston’s financial district. The lighting conditions were challenging and the subjects fast moving. I have a lot to work with from this event and hope to have more photos up soon. Despite the obvious exposure problems resulting from the dramatic lighting, I like this photo because the message transmitted by the actions of the two figures is so dramatic and direct.

Steve Jobs
I don’t normally enjoy reportage or photographing anything associated with current events, but after hearing of Steve Jobs’ death I had a rare urge to document how people would react. On the weekend following the news I headed to Boston to spend a few days at my home in the USA and walked by the Boylston Street Apple Store as I often do. This time I was surprised to see piles of flowers, candles and hundreds of notes stuck to the glass walls of the store, surrounded by quiet spectators even late at night when I arrived. As a collector of vintage microcomputers (theapplemuseum.org) this expression effected me personally and it was amazing to read the notes people had left and to think about how much the Apple community has grown since I started collecting over 7 years ago.
