Child playing in front of wall with graffiti

This theme fits rather nicely to our current place of living: Vienna. At the Donaukanal one can see lots of graffiti art. Some like it, some don't, i find it a nice backdrop for photos.

My former boss Pertti Martikainen visited me this week in Vienna, which gave me the possibility to walk through Vienna as a a host and not as a guest. It turned out an interesting experience, and luckily Pertti pleases rather similar (sub-)cultural and (non-)stylish events here. E.g. graffiti at the walls of the Donaukanal. There was the long night of the museum, where Anotinia got the chance to create her first ceramic plate (which turned out really - red. but beautifully red), then we visited Gumpoldskirchen again, joined the 100 -year independence celebration of Finland at the Nordic Design House (a highlight, also my cousin Sonja joined), drank some coffee at the Haas house and simply walked a lot. It was very nice, and as always inspiring. He came here for work actually, and we had the possibility to discuss at length, which was very motivating. I do really miss him at University :).

Hi.

My name is Christina. Welcome to my passion and my living dream. Weddings and family occasions to me are the events which most need to be memorialized and saved in pictures. I am a mother, photographer, biologist, and a happy-go-lucky person who loves to travel and has been known to throw caution to the wind. I use my camera and my curiosity to find love, beauty, joy and humor in unexpected places. Every time I meet a new couple so crazy in love they can’t keep their eyes and hands off each other, it makes my stomach flip because I absolutely know how it feels to be that new couple. This is how I know how much it matters to have those moments captured in time. Because no matter how many years pass, when you look back at those pictures, you won’t think about all the imperfections but you will remember the love, sun’s warmth and the song that was playing in the background and the moment will come live
