Yesterday the sky here in Ii was glowing through the whole night in super intensive orange colors. Pardon me, but it’s hard to take elegant and sophisticated photos when nature is playing this kind of cheap drama with all the light effects 😀
Take care, Peki
This wonderful gentleman came to today’s workshop in his own car. Because the workshop was limited to people over 65 years he wanted to show me his driver’s licence to prove that he will turn 90 in just a couple of months. –So I let him in 😉 And oh boy what a great day we had! Handicrafts, spontaneous singing, coffee, ice cream, lots of talking and great photos. There are those people who really make the difference and as I told to this old man, he really made this day special for many of us. I know that this time of the year it’s more trendy to post holiday photos than work related stuff, but I don’t do that simply because I’m working. And I’m not sorry about it because I can honestly say that I’m super happy to be right here, right now working with these people.
Peace & Love, Peki
PS. More information about this project here on YLE’s webpage: http://yle.fi/uutiset/kunpa_omat_siivet_kantaisivat_pitkaan__suomalainen_ikamies_ikuistetaan_yhteisotaiteessa/8101706
The only thing that I should probably correct in the article is that there will be plenty of more photos than ten. There can’t be just ten. This is the new Iijoki-sarja, goddamit 😀
I have made some, what we in Finnish would call, K-65 workshops here in Ii; that means they are not allowed for people under the age of 65. I never ever believed that one of those workshops would end up in YLE’s (Finnish broadcasting company) TV news. But here we go! …And to be honest, I never imagined to laugh like that on the news 😉
