small but cool fake 3d image of the new kamppi shopping centre. 3years to go.
some really nice images of helsinki here. you can view them by district and keywords. some coolio images in there. the photographer is maria haanpää. here is one image from it.
taken from the sibeliuksen puisto (sibelius park).
wandering around town yesterday, one of the first proper days of summer, i got the latest wired magazine. guest editor this month was architect rem koolhaas. a lot of little articles in there towards the end of the issue.
now on a different subject. the picture is of the huge new developement here in the city centre in helsinki. still at early construction stages.
i have some friends visiting from new york and they robbed a wallpaper* magazine from the airplane. there is some really cool articles in it, one is a photo essay by the fashion designer and photographer helmut newton. the essay consists of photos from nyc, vienna, moscow, las vegas, prague, miami and so on. some pretty cool pictures and little bits of texts about his impressions of the cities.
vienna is a fascinating city, and one i often visit. indeed, i’m planning another trip there soon. while i love the city, i find the inhabitants strange - even the young people are old.
the magazine was on a plane, an sas airplane. and it flew over the atlantic several times. back and forth.. its probably done about 30000kilometers!. madness. anyway, im slightly drunk and its 0200. bed.
[+] the helmut newton article is in the june 2003 edition, page 140 until 160
