About Anyday

My name is Markus Naarttijärvi, I'm 28 and I live in northern Sweden. This is my photoblog. It's been around since 2006 and has gone through some ups and downs. It's been updated daily for a year, then not at all for some time, and now it's back to some sort of daily updating schedule again.

I started the blog as a way to enjoy photography for the fun of it again after working a few years as a photojournalist. Now I'm doctoral student in law instead so now it's more of a way to keep shooting when I'm supposed to be writing?

For those who are interested, I shoot with a Canon 5D MkII, equipped with either a 17-40 / 4 or a 70-200 / 4 lens. The older photos on the blog are most likely taken with a trusty old Canon 10d which I no longer own. I do my editing on a mac using Lightroom and Photoshop with a little help from a Wacom intous 3.

I go through phases where I like to do a lot of post processing and phases where I like to keep it simple. Lately I've been sticking to what I can do in Lightroom with the raw-files, but don't be surprised if something turns up that looks like it's been through a few laps in Photoshop. Oh, and I'm somewhat colorblind so feel free to tell me if some colors look weird, I'm known for making people green from time to time. I suppose I should stick to b/w, but where's the fun in that?

Anyhow, enjoy the site and I appreciate all kinds of comments, constructive criticism and good old fashioned insults.
