The Dressmaker

I’m a big Kate Winslet fan so when I saw the posters for The Dressmaker I knew I had to see it. What I thought was a typical drama set in the 50s turned out to be something quit different. The movie was full of surprises and it managed something quit difficult, to be sad and funny at the […]

Hydrangea Mania

 

I might have missed the cherry blossom season in Tokyo but I arrived just in time for hydrangeas.I saw them everywhere in Tokyo; in the well kept gardens, next to train tracks, on the balconies of skyscrapers and other unexpected places. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of them and I probably looked quit silly doing it.

That got me thinking that I never […]

Rings and Scarecrows

 

Juthbacka market is one of the biggest flea markets in  Finland, if not the biggest. It’s a two day event that gathers people from all over the country. The first time I attended was probably ten years ago, I remember it raining so much we had difficulty getting the car out of the mud. For a number of […]
