Quite random shot taken on a relatively warm October day when I was wandering around near my school and looking for things to photograph for the photo contest. Near my schoolhouse is a yard where three ponies and some sheep spend their days.
I managed to make friends with the ponies and also take some pictures of them. One of them was really shy guy and he soon ran away, the second...

Something really colourful and happy from the end of the last summer. We met our two friends, grabbed some beers and went to the park. We talked, I took some photos... About 15 minutes later the sky was dark and it was raining. But I got my bright-and-bubbly photo.
I'm not very fond of colourful art, because it never feels right and the colours always confuse me. Most of my...

This photo was taken on the last day of my trip in Coven Garden. I was sitting behind a small table outside the coffee-shop, took a sip of hot and sweet caffe latte,...

"Let me show you the world in my eyes."
Portobello Road Market was an amazing place. So much antique furniture, tableware, old records and posters... When I finally reached the table covered with so many old cameras, I immediately thought about my friend and colleague T.
He was the first person who told me about different cameras, prices and gave me good advice when I tortured him...

Found this photo sitting in my computer: it was a test photo, because I had just bought my camera. My father, sister and I were coming back from Saaremaa (our summer-home is there) and I was taking random pictures on the ferry, just trying different buttons and modes. But I must say I like this one.
The air was still warm and smelled salty, seagulls followed the ferry and sunshine was...

While wandering around in Camden Town, I saw a really handsome boy. He caught my eye not only because he was very tall, brown-eyed and he wore that wildly cool red jacket, but because there weren't exactly lots of handsome men in London...
I saw him again later in the Tube with a tiny girl. He put his hand around her and train arrived to the station. For those few moments it seemed that...

My mother and I were walking in Southwark, when she suddenly told me to look at this strange house that was made of black reflecting glass. She asked me to take a picture of it and later, in the hotel, I saw how interesting the picture was. It felt like another world peeking through the glass.

I became very fond of those red-and-sepia tourist postcards on my second trip to London. For some reason, it's very easy for me to imagine London in this selective sepia way. It's like the city was made to be old and upstanding sepia-toned with some bold red spots like buses and phone booths.
Anyway, I bought a postcard with a red bus and Westminster Palace, got on the plane and promised...

Another shot from my trip. I'm pretty convinced that London is made of tiny coffee-shops where people can order a big cup of caffè latte and a cherry tart and sit near the windows. And then they just take time out, enjoy sweet coffee and those heavenly baked goods.
I also discovered that I like to take photos through glass. Love that
little blue bokeh......

To infinity and beyond...
Something beautiful from London. I was amazed how abstract this photo turned out to be. Because of the result and my great passion for abstract art, I didn't add any labels or keywords that would give away what's on this photo.
So you can try and guess.

"Yes, you are..."
I was a bit disappointed that one of the capsules was missing, because I'm known for my love for perfectness. Everything needs to be symmetric, equal and "right". But eventually this picture's imperfectness won my heart. I think the missing one really gives something extra to this simple photo.

This photo was the submission that won my school's photo contest. It was the best photo in the "Best Photo Voted by the Judges" category.
This
old empty house is in my school yard and teachers used to live
there. I was sitting in a class and staring out of the window when suddenly I noticed that the green vines had turned amazingly red and beautiful. And so I decided
that this...

It's truly a cliché photo, but the road to my school looked absolutely wonderful and I wanted to show to others, that even a simple road...

Another shot from Mütofest 2011.
I was kind of "hired" to take
pictures of the festival (workshops, lectures, sword fights...), but
most of the time I just wandered around the place, amazed with the new experience, and tried to take pictures of interesting people when they were doing something
and not noticing me.
This is my friend A.

Shot in Mütofest 2011
Mütofest is a festival for people who
would love to go back in time and spend two days in ancient Estonia. There
are real sword fights, role-playing, kings, queens and loyal servants,
traditional food, campfires, warm sheepskins, blacksmiths who sit by the fireplace, dark forest which seems to sing quietly some old songs,
fire-dancers in the warm and dark August...

Photo from my second trip to London. I've always loved this song by a-ha and when I saw the British Museum's roof for the first time, those lyrics just popped into my head, because the sight was truly magnificent.
