Impressions of Midsummers Eve

A SoFoBoMo 2010 photobook

Copyright Juha Haataja, 2010

What is SoFoBoMo? SoFoBoMo is a group event where photographers allaround the world make solo photo books in PDF form, in 31 days, startto finish, and there has to be at least 35 photographs in the book.

The photographs in this book were taken in twelwe hours, between 11am and 11 pm, on June 25th, 2010. This day was Midsummer’s Eve, atraditional celebration in Finland.

As so often is the case, it was rainy and cool, but we managed to enjoythe day nevertheless. There was some work in the garden, a walk innature (between rainy spells), and going to watch Midsummer bonfire inLaaksolahti.

All photographs were taken with the Panasonic LX3. I didn’t post-processany of them, all photographs are straight from the camera.

I wish you enjoy this little book!
