Midsummer in the city


Midsummer in the city

There is only one day a year that you will have no problem finding parking space in down town Helsinki and that is during midsummer's eve. Everyone who can, travels to a rural setting, preferably by the water, to consume alcohol. seeing free parking space like this is indeed an unusual sight and I immediatelly felt a need to photograph it - and with the camera in the mobile phone I could.
Pocket cameras, despite their name, are usually not carried in your pocket. I have mine in a computer backpack that I often carry with me but not always. Now I have a camera that is almost as good for snapshots and it is ALLWAYS with me in my belt. I had cameras in my previouse phones aswell, but I did not use them as frequently as I knew they would not be able to take good enough photos in some situations or lack the necessary detail and sharpness to make the photo worthwhile. With the camera in the Nokia E90 I am now more likely to take pictures than before.
