This photo is from shooting sessions with Elisa Vesterinen, taken on the dormer of her former apartment.

And so is this. Here you can have a more specific look on my horse-hair lyre, or Jouhikko, as we call it in Finnish.

Well, this is an alternate take.

Here's a traditional approach - it could be a node to photos taken by Erkki Ala-Könni while he was conserving Finnish folk tradition 50 years ago. Also by Elisa.

Elisa made a really nice colage while she was developing the film...

This is taken by Jorma Sairola at Seurasaari, which is sort of an ethnological outdoor-museum in Helsinki.

Here I'm giving it all at the Jouhiorkesteri show in Semifinal, Helsinki. Photos by Eero Grundstörm 20.2.2007.

And my trademark, the same posing style again. Now in the cruiser on the Baltic sea, where Folklandia took place 12.1.2007.

Ugh! One can't get any more Finnish. Or Fenno-Ugric. I hope you consider this as engimatic instead of pervert... taken by Eero Grundstörm.

Rock-Pekko: notice the beer glass next to me. This is taken at the great local punk club Vastavirta near my home in Tampere.

Here's two members of the male choir Äijä - me and Eero Turkka updating the ancient Finnish rune tradition. This photo is also by Eero Grundstörm.

Äijä relaxing: left to me is Girilal Baars, who recorded my album Jos Ken Pahoin Uneksii. In between me and Eero T. lies Taito Hoffren. Photo by Eero G.

Here Taito shows his bedroom eyes. What a nasty group! Photo by Eero G.

What a lovely picture, I took it all by myself. Somewhere in Ukraine, or maybe it was in Norway?

Posing with Rauno Nieminen, a friend, a colleague and a mentor

Driving at the speed of night in Canada. Or was it in Ukraine?

Vilddas soundcheck in Ukraine.

What a handsome man and a handsome car! Unfortunately I had to sell my beige Lada 1200. Sigh!

Now here I'm singing my lungs out with my good old wizard-beard outlook.

I sometimes also teach the secrets of jouhikko. That's why I've turned my back to camera: the ancient knowledge of jouhikko playing shall not be revealed unless you give me some money for it.
