I am at the summer cottage, by a big lake in mid Finland. Nature is showing signs of the summer slowly turning into fall. Every day I heat the sauna and have one or two beers. Go fishing for a little while. The lake is beautiful. The nights are already pitch black dark. When I sit under the very ugly lamp at night, fondling my Fuji x100, all I can think is I wish I had a model with me.

I try not to be the gadget type photographer, always needing something new to play with. Now that I got into this medium format thingy, i find myself wanting to expand my gear.. My Yashica D is indeed imperfect, and shows some light leakage. It is infact everything that I dreamed about before. I produces a 'worn out' look that I find very nice. Now I'm daydreaming about fancy things like a hasselblad, colour film etc.. *sigh*
