Hei folks!
the second last Street Action of the campaign took place today and as usual we hunted many great support photos. We were quite much helped by Pink’s concert in Kaisaniemenpuisto, so that we found the park conveniently packed of people in good mood.
I want to thank everybody we met today, plus of course Krista and Karolina who were today’s volunteer photographers and kept me good company!
The most of the pictures from today’s Street Action are already published in the photogallery section. There are still few missing, from Krista’s camera, so if you don’t find yours yet please be patient and give us girl the time to exchange files. 🙂
Now looking forward to Friday! I am going to be interviewed about the campaign by both Vartti and Kirkko&Kaupunki, and I’ll reveal to the press some previously unreleased details about Soita Mummolle Päivä, which -I remind you! – it’s gonna take place on 11.8.2010.

Today the 4th Soita Mummolle Street Action took place and it was a record of people donating their photo: 76 is the number-in-progress, and tomorrow I will receive more photos from the other participants… we are probably well over 100 in one day!
I want to thank all of today’s “models” and our action-photographers Duong, Päivi, Heikki and Annaleena, that joined me at the last moment and boosted up nicely the whole action!
You can see the first part of the pictures from Flickr already now, while the second part will be published probably tomorrow.

The second Street Action took place on Wednesday, among some problems: I was sick and I couldn’t participate in person and the weather seemed quite uncertain until the very end. But thanks to the efforts and the energies of Anu, Jussi, Duong and Yan (thank you very much guys!), who volunteered for this Action everything turned out very fine and we got more support pictures as planned!
Since nobody of them took part in a Street Action before, they said that the beginning was a bit hard: they didn’t know how to stop people and they were feeling shy. But as soon they managed to collect the first photos they became bolder and energized, and convinced more and more people to donate their support picture. Quite successful was the idea to propose group pictures, so even the most reluctant people ended up participating. And once that a group took a picture, also other groups of friends c alled our brave guys and asked to be portraited. 🙂
The team was quite “itinerant”, in only one hour they took pictures in Esplanadi, Mannerheimintie, Ruttopuisto and Kamppi. And it was rather international too: 50% Finnish, 50% foreigners! So, not knowing finnish is just a minor problem, if you are foreigner and you want to participate (I am foreigner myself and I never had bad moments).
So, let’s get ready for the next Street Action on 16th June: don’t be shy and don’t find excuses, I can promise you that it’s fun, you meet great people and you’re also doing good! 🙂 So, I hope to see you there!
In the meanwhile you can have a look at the great pictures from the last Action on our Facebook Page.
