Juhannus a.k.a Midsummer party in Guadalajara

One Mexican friend had his farewell party last night. It was something else…

Some photos from our Truth with a Camera Workshop

Go check out the selected photos from our workshop here.

Last weeks in Guadalajara?

I haven’t yet made up my mind what I’m going to do after the school ends in few weeks time. The idea of 6-18(?) months long trip around this continent sounds a bit scary at the moment. Or maybe ‘scary’ isn’t the right word, ‘exhausting’ is more like it. I’ve mentioned it before, but when [...]

‘Truth with a camera’ workshop ended :(

It was a looong week that went by waaaay too fast! I’m still digesting the whole experience of the workshop but it’s all good. We had an exhibition on all the projects on Saturday and it was a great success. The night ended in bar where the whole crew was having fun for a few [...]

My favorite photos from March

Red Cross visit with roommate

Last month my roommate went to local Red Cross to make sure she didn’t have the swine flu. I tagged alone with my camera. More photos in Flickr

“Seuraa valkoista lehmää”

Viime aikoina on ollut aika tylsää. Maailmalla otsikoissa paistatteleva sikalentsu on tappanut aika tehokkaasti tämän opiskelijakaupungin ilmapiirin. Tarvitsin piristysruiskeen ja kulkiessani kadulla eräänä päivänä kuulin vanhojen miesten keskustelevan elämäneliksiiristä, joka saa kasvot hohtamaan ilosta. He mainitsivat kylän nimeltä Mixtlan. Tämä riitti minulle ja kiiruhdin äkkiä kotiin pakkaamaan reppuni. Kaksi tuntia myöhemmin olin jo pick-upin lavalla [...]

Band practice

My roommate Mario (right) and ex-roommate Checo (left) were playing and singing the other day. They play traditional Mexican music from this area. I Just got back from the countryside with them and few other friends. I’ll post some photos of the trip in the far future :P

Morelia, Mexico

Our young waitress and lovely hotel room. 2 euros a night and the room was 5 meters high. No warm water but the place was great fun! We spent a night in Morelia after visiting the butterflies. Yes, I will post photos of the butterflies in the near future but now I’ll tell you a [...]

Party at Belén

Before Easter holidays we had a party in our house. We printed out fliers and bought about 2000 bottles of beer to sell. Some women were also selling food and of course my landlord and his friends were playing music during the night. Here are the photos of the night and of the next day. [...]
