A sunny day, best spent with these guys. A small update on my 2026 project. It is still on, moving forwards as planned due to be finished by the end of the year. Slow to post much anything before it’s done. Except for sometimes, photographing these is so much fun!

You know, those new agile robots you’ve seen recently, the ones doing somersaults and dance moves, Chinese etc, I’ve been waiting for one of them to be fitted with a C-3PO exterior parts and given instructions to translate. I think this is a no-brainer, yet I haven’t seen it done yet. What gives?

Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy book of my Lego Star Wars photographs was published exactly ten years ago today. Ten years! Time goes by fast when you’re having fun. Pictured all five language editions that came out shortly after the original English edition.

Five different language covers of the Small Scenes book, French, Spanish, Danish, Finnish and English. On the cover is a Lego Star Wars snowtrooper minifigure on skis jumping over a small knoll with snow flying around.

All the Presidents Men is one of my all time favourite films, I don't even know how many times I've seen it. It is as chilling as it is entertaining, a great film altogether. That and many more from the great Robert Redford. RIP.

My new car, photographed it on a sunny day a while ago. I just love those curvy lines, what a gorgeous little car. They sure did good back in 1967. Too bad it's less than 20 centimeters long, a scale model I built. #scalemodel #ferraridino #toyphotography

A photograph of a yellow 1967 model Ferrari Dino 206 GT parked on parking lot in front of a building with large windows. A super wide crop, lots of sunshina. The car has headlights on, it's just to show that they work. The photograph was taken with a scale model car, looks real even if I say so myself.

Sometimes I get questions about the lights on the models in my photographs. People are curious to know whether the lighting is real or if it's photoshopped on. Well, the lights are always real (with one exception). Captions in ALT text.

The Aries 1B Lunar Ascend Vehicle scale model from 2001: A Space Odyssey film standing on a light table with black background. The model is brightly lit from below with some lights from inside the cabin can be seen.

Lighting the Aries 1B was a lot of work. All those ceiling light panels were lit separately. Also I cut open the floor in the elevator pit to light it as it was in the film only to have it concealed inside the model, never really to be seen from the outside. This model was the biggest effort with the least outcome in terms of lighting.

Closeup of a Bandai RX-78-2 model head with light in its green eyes.

The Bandai Gundam RX-78-2 model didn't need lighting, it already had it. I didn't know this when I bought the kit and it was a pleasant surprise, I was prepared to hack it but I didn't have to. The light looks nice on it.

A scale model of the EVA pod from 2001: A Space Odyssey film photographed against black with all the lights on. The bright headlights and some cockpit dashboard lighting visible.

The 2001: A Space Odyssey 1:8 scale EVA Pod was a lot of work! A LOT! The dashboard wasn't really designed to be lighted and was a bit awkward to accomplish. Many have done it though and with great results. Mine works well enough for me. It's actually quite beautiful a model when all lights are on, one of my favourites.

The Police Spinner car scale model from Blade Runner photographed on top of a spread of an old Cinefantastique magazine. In the magazine an article about making of the life size filming model car can be seen.

The longest build, this took years to finish. I messed up the wiring at some point when originally building this and it pissed me off enough to box the build. After many years I admitted defeat, took the model out of the box and finished it with what I could get to work. So, no flashing lights on top but there are some dashboard lighting and what's most important everything on the front works.

I was unwinding from a busy week the other day, leisurely photographing garden flowers on a sunny day. Just playing with the camera, no plan, having a moment. Then a bee arrived and before I knew it The Blue Danube Waltz began playing in my head. You know?

I opened some folders in the archives to look for something. I found this instead. From 2009, I had bought Corel Painter software and I was figuring it out by making random illustrations with it. Not using Painter anymore but for a while I used it very much.

A #throwbackthursday post from 2017. The idea was to make a pair of photographs to sell the illusion of the X-wing better. As if I'd just walked in there and took some snapshots from different angles.

A Star Wars X-wing starfighter parked in a driveway of a large parking house with cockpit canopy open. The driveway is several stories high open space with surrounding walls covered with large air ducts and piping. Very industrial looking place, clean, no cars can be seen.

A Star Wars X-wing parked on a driveway insode a large parking house. Photographed from the side so that only lower half of the X-wing can be seen. Top is behind the low ceiling of the section the X-wing was photographed from. Some concrete pylons also obscure the view. No cars in this one either but white parking space markings can be seen on the foreground.

There is a Mandalorian planet called Kalevala in the Star Wars universe. Kalevala is also the name of the Finnish national epic. In the new game Star Wars: Zero Company there is a character Cly Kullervo. Kullervo is also a character in Kalevala. Kullervo’s story in Kalevala is quite something.

A white coloured custom built Star Wars Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter photographed from directly above. It is parked on a clear patch on a terrain that looks like sand with greyish earth colours, it is a sunny day and everything has a strong and clear shadow. Around the N-1 there are some items that look like service tools, a small generator maybe, a big toolbox and a smaller one with what looks like a wrench set inside. There are track marks of maybe trucks on the ground.

I wanted to try drone photography (not having my own I got some help from a friend). It's quite cool how our Earth looks like from above, even if it's just 30 meters or so. Also, if you look close you may notice a subtle reference to the upcoming Andor Season 2. 🤓

It occurred to me it’s been 14 years since I put these two characters together in a photograph. How time flies! The setup ("setup" ... a dead plant on a table) was there after I shot the golden spaceman a couple of days ago, so I figured why not give it a go.

I made this Snowtrooper snow globe in 2018. A fun idea I thought. Forgot it in a cupboard after taking photographs of it. Took it out a while ago to see how it was after all this time. Not very good, as it turned out. Poor trooper had been attacked by bacteria growth. #toyphotography #starwars

K-2SO, such a wonderful design and a joy to photograph. I’ve used one of these photographs as my header image here for a long time. Always liked that one. We’ll see more of K-2SO in Andor S2, I believe.
