Images of the Week 20/2012

Journal Entry: Sat May 19, 2012, 6:54 AM

We see so many images every day. Most of them are more or less meaningless

and pass our mind like a wind. But among the vast stream of images there are the occational few which make a difference and stay on our minds. It is some of those images that I'm featuring as the 'Images of the Week'.

And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."

Jari Mäntylä
Artist | Hobbyist | Photography

Finland

I’m a photographer from northern Finland and I consider myself as a serious hobbyist. I got interested in photography around 1995 during the film era and at that time I was shooting on slide film. But soon after that the times evolved, digital imaging emerged and set me back in a sort of way for quite some time. I was busy with my studies and work so photography was left pretty much behind. However at some point I got myself a digital pocket camera but when I think about it now I never had any fun with it. I used it just for ‘documenting’ some situations, trips and so on. I never used it for creating art. I never had any kind of beautiful experience with that camera. It was just like a remote control or a calculator for me. Then in one rainy autumn day in 2008 I bought some dSLR equipment and got back in the business in a manner of speaking.

I have always dreamed of being an artist. Or at least being able to freely create and imagine.

I'm trying to find that inner vision that I feel I used to have a long time ago. I hope being a serious adult hasn't destroyed all that.
