"Please dontate 4 minutes and fifty eight seconds of your time to help Casperous Vine be qualified to enter the "Shure" contest. All we need to qualify is 300 listens of our track entitled "Ginger" by the deadline of January 6th. If chosen there is the magnificent possibility for Casperous Vine to perform in Europe´s most prestigious jazz festival the "Montreux Jazz Festival" & also we would have the opportunity to do a recording session with a very high end studio in the U.K, not to mention the 3000 euro worth of mic-monitoring equipment that we could possibly win. This is also an opportunity to share one of the featured tracks on our upcoming release entitled "Immigrant" which will be out in early 2014. For those who are familiar with our repertoire it is a chance to hear a familiar song but with a new arrangement and high quality recording, and for those not familiar..well it is a chance to hear what (or at least one style) of what we do. Thank you very much, have a merry xmas and happy beginning to 2014 and please share this with others if you believe in us."
I`m a huge fan of Richard Linklater`s trilogy (Before sunrise, Before sunset, Before Midnight).
Having been a fan of it for a long time , since watching the very first of the series and right after watching the latest on (i prefer not to say the last;) , where i once more enjoyed the great dialogues between Jessie & Celine , i felt like i had to make such photographic trilogy series as a humble tribute to such beautiful work.
Hope you`ll enjoy :)

I visited Finland in 2010 altogether with friends from the school i was attending by that time in Denmark.
We went by a cruise passing from Stockholm to Helsinki.The cruise was a whole story by itself :) The journey was so much fun all the time , we kept drinking, partying, having fun with friends , seeing the crazy moon shining over the wild sea, breathing the ice cold air .It was quite surreal that whole damn trip i miss it !
I liked Helsinki , especially it`s nice , crazy architecture.The food was not always my cup of tea, but the fish was delicious and so were the soups.
I liked many hidden districts of Helsinki ( as usual:)
One cool district was the `design district`, very well known for different artists ateliers.
And of course KIASMA ;) Loved it`s awesome shape and artists`s works shown meanwhile (i`ll share some more related pics in another post).
We also visited Kaapeli museum , a very rich museum in visual arts!Recommended!
Turku was also visited altogether with the King`s castle , which was also a treat to the eyes.
Kerava city , a lovely miracle of nature , marveled me with the overwhelming beautiful trees and plants.As well as with its museum `Kerava taidemuseo` I`m not so good with words, so i`ll let my photos to speak, promising i`ll come with more pic from this nice trip of mine.[ i`m not sure why it took me so long to post about it here :D]
The
story of Medusa and different legends and associations about her have
always intrigued me. I had first seen her sculpture in Istanbul, at
Yerebatan Cistern. The images in my series consist of self portraits
mixed in Photoshop with Turkish coffee patterns images. I had several
reasons to use those patterns. Firstly because visually it connotates
Medusa`s hair. Secondly,as many of us know the Turkish coffee patterns
are famous in fortune telling. If we look back at the story of Medusa,
she used to be a pretty girl with wonderful hair. After being cursed by
the goddess Athena, her fortune totally changed and her hair turned into
terrible snakes , while her face became incredibly ugly so each person
that would stare at her would get stoned. So I symbolized the coffee
patterns with the ways of destiny. At the same time Medusa is also known
as a symbol of nihilism and negotiation of many meaningful aspects of
life. The whole final imagery connotates not a very optimistic
determinism on facts we can`t change however we try to escape from them
and the final way we choose to live with it.
