People of Downtown

Sydänstadin kuvia [Photos of downtown] is a nice, small photo exhibit in the Pannuhuone kahvila on Uudenmaankatu [the mincemeat crepes are very good, too]. If you're in the neighbourhood, go have a coffee and a look at the photos. In spite of the photos being digital and showing it in the enlargements, the subjects are people around downtown Helsinki which I found very interesting. The pair of couples in the photo above are especially well done and I think the artist should get photo quality glossy prints and sell these two as a set. If you can't get there, the photographer, Ukko Heikkinen, has a gallerly online of the people of Uudenmankatu which, even with some of the stiffness/awkwardness in a few them, is a terrific collection of the people who live and work here in Helsinki. M-F 9-15 until Friday at Pannuhuone, Uudenmaankatu 19.
