Last fall I started to see the road as a painting. I don't know why. I hadn't really even looked down before. But suddenly asphalt seemed like a black canvas stretched by the workmen and collectively painted by the cars, trams, pedestrians, bikes and the forces of nature. I started to photograph the canvas and tried to depict in my photos what I saw in this painting called Road.
I named the series Black Canvas and here are few photographs of it.



I often feel that the city is like a crushing cacophony and that midst all the shouting the beauty is in the silent details. Lately I've realized that most of my photographs are an ode to these silent details, to the silent moments and to the insignificant. The loud details often seem self-evident while the silent details hold intriguing mysteries, tales told only with soft whispers and air between the words.
vautsi! katosin ensin näitä kuvia ja ajattelin, että ne olisivat fotogrammeja tai grafiikan vedoksia. no, sitten luin tekstin. aivan tosi mielenkiintonen kuvasarja, sillä kuten sä asian kuvailet asfaltti meidän jalkojen alla tosiaan muuttuu kuin joksikin maalaukseksi, jos sen ripustaa seinälle. tykkään!
