Yes, part of the title is in Finnish, the (not literal) translation is Finnish Exotics FOR FUCK SAKE!
The title is by , who keeps saying that while shaking his head every time foreigners are so over the moon about the pictures I take of Finnish nature and winter wonderland scenery.
He also came up with an amazing idea that I should do a series showing a different side of Finland; the ugly, rural and the abandoned, because there is no shortage of that in here.
I usually choose to show all the pretty parts, gorgeous sunsets over glittering white snow and the lush dark green bed of the forests, but that is only a glimpse of what is real. It's time to climb down from the ivory tower and get down and dirty, go out when there isn't sunshine and rainbows, and search for not so pretty parts of Finland.
Melancholy is a build in factor in Finnish people and the best songs and movies are most often inspired by the more gritty nature of us and our country. It's time to start pointing my camera towards that side and let it balance out the clear blue skies and diamond like snow.
