Beautiful people around me: Triin

I know Triin since the first weeks studying in  Estonian University of Life Sciences. if I have a right memory then we started to chat with each other thanks to University's fox competitions where Triin and Diana called me to take part of it. During the three years we have had many joyfull moments. Sometimes it was like laugh theraphy. Still sometimes if I think about these moments I am starting to laugh.
After graduating the bachelor studies I didn't talk with her much. About a month ago Triin asked me to take some photos of her. I didn't have other choice than just agree. When the moment came she didn't have an idea how and where to do photos, and so didn't I. The best way was to walk in Tartu and get the ideas how and where during the walk. And we found some places. And what's the most importnd, probably she even liked those photos.

Beautiful people around me: Anu, Kadri and children

Beautiful people around me talking about people who have asked me to take some photos of them . Anu asked me a long time ago, to make some photos of her and her taughters. But I am not visiting Harku very often so i finally got some time when leaves started to brimg some colours in the nature. Luckily the weather was sunny and even the temperature was quite high for thi time of the year. We chose the shooting places during a walk. We had chosen sand hills before to get some smooth and light background. Before I took the firs serious shoot, Anu saw a little grass snake which took all my attention. So I had a change to take a test photos, shooting the snake. The main shooting places that day were sand hills and Harku's manor park.
Models were Anu, Ranelle, Susanna, Kadri, Aliise and Kaisa. I don't know Anu and her family very long but that time I have been with them, they have left good and gentle impression. Many people have something to learn from them. First two photos are made from Alise the day before.

Apothegems in Tartu part 1

I have noticed many wooden boards in Tartu where have written different apothegms. Many walls and bridges are full of sayings. For now I have shoot only some of these. I got this idea two and half years ago.  I still have no idea why it took so long for photographing. My favourites are apothegms on a wooden board.

Street drawings in Tartu part 1

Finally I have collected photo material for a blog which had to be done last month. But sadly I lost photos due to computer crash and I had to take new ones. Plenty of drawings can be seen during the walking in Tartu. Some of them are just scibbles, others are true art. Many of them are with political message. I like street drawings which are made for decorating house wallsas house wall decoration, not to forward personal message. Drawings for decoration is usual in Tartu. But these are seen in tne next part of the series.

Canoeing on the river Emajõgi

Second spring in a row I decided to go on the river Emajõgi with a canoe and enjoy nice weather with a good company. This time was nine people alltogether. So I rented three canoes.
The night before I got a messag that maybe I can pick up all the stuff in the evening , and take the canoes in the morning. It doesn't fit me at all , because I don't have car and it's bit difficult to carry nine people's stuff. Luckily I made a deal that I just come bit earlier in the morning. In the morning I got a call that the renting firm that the owner of the canoes got sick and I get the canoes on time. I didn't mint it at all, otherwise I just had to wait a bit on a landing-stage and paddle with my feet. We started to move at 10.30. Weather was sunny and really warm. This time we moved in the direction of Peipsi. A lot of motor boat and jet ski drivers who didn't reduce speed when they pass and made waves were on the river. Same day airplane show took place in the Tartu airport, where NATO fighters made test flights and drew hearts with the smoke in the sky. I even went swimming first time this year, even two times. And already made a barbeque. Moving back from the barbeque place, thunder clouds were closing. Luckily we didn't get much rain but saw some thunder bolts. Canoeing back was much harder, company started to get tired and we had to paddle against stream. But I hope everyone were happy. my bottom was hurting when we arrived and some days later the skin started to come off from my hands. I would like to thank Ah ja Oh Matkasõbrad staff whose canoes we used. I recommend thid company to others as well, because it's really cheap.
