Hammer Strikes but For whom the Bell Tolls?

hammer and the bell of turku cathedral bell tower

Mechanical hammer strikes every 15 minutes just so that insomniacs have something to blame. Metal versus Metal.


The Bell tower in Turku cathedral has a nice view over the church and the city actually not visible in this shot though.

May I please have keys to your appartment?

Baska Voda scenery

A while ago I received a request concerning a photo of mine. Someone liked the scenery which was familiar to him from his childhood. The request was if he could have the high resolution original so that he could print an enlargment (for personal use). You can call me sceptic but I have my doubts. Luckily a satisfyable solution exists for us people with doubts. I hand over the high-res version to Deviant Art, they will print and ship it to pretty much anywhere in the world. I'll even get my (tiny) cut of the revenue of the printshop. If you want to buy prints of the photo above, you can order them at reasonable price from deviant shop.

If you however want to print and sell 10.000 postcards to tourist shops with my photo, contact me and be straight with your intentions. I'll be fair too.
