cool, we're hoping to stay there for a week if we can, long way to go just for a funny gig! Any advice on what to do and what not to do in Finland?! That's COMPLETLY new territory for me!! ...Why the pain in life drawing?

yes, i'm really not sure i have any idea what it will be like visting somewhere that's both that cold but also just "dark". I really have no idea if everything will just seem like "night" or if there is something else there, it's exciting! I think we're hoping to plan a trip further north to have a chance at seeing the northern lights and get into the countryside. ... now dark and cold ... but beautiful is going to be a totally different photographic challenge! .. possibly a bit of vodka will play a part as well
... when i was doing life classes i used to tend to spend the whole time doing one very small little drawing on a quarter (or less) of the paper. My tutor would always as me to try and do bigger pictures and i'd try but they always turned out small. What was a challenge for me was when we had classes that were all short poses. The model would swap poses every few mins and you had to do really quick sketches... really not what i did comfortably. Now i look back at the few pictures i have left though its some of those quick sketches i like most. .. I look forward to seeing your pictures.
