JOOT

The photos below are of my sister Riitta and our cat that has unfortunately past away. I shot them back in 2006, on our drive way, in Finland with Canon 350D. I found them today from my computer.

Why I found them interesting again, after forgetting them, was because of an artist I am drawing inspiration from at the moment. I get inspiration from a soviet writer, poet, and filmmaker, Andrei Tarkovsky. I have been looking at his polaroids, in which he portrays his everyday life and his surroundings. They posses a sadness, roughness, that comes from the reality that they are portraying and his use of colour, a blueish tint he gives to his images, due to the the time of the day he shoots his images.
