Back in the saddle
I can’t even remember the last time I rode my motorbike. First it was too hot, then it was too cold, then it was too rainy, then I didn’t have time, then I was too tired, then I wasn’t even at home… and before you know it, half the summer has gone by and the bike is stuck in the garage. But today I finally got on the road again, and to my surprise I hadn’t forgotten anything. On the contrary, it feels like riding the motorbike is now even easier than it was before. And more fun!
Yes, shocking, that’s actually me. The picture is taken by my MC-mentor (I cropped it to re-compose) and the camera is provided courtesy of my new toy – Nokia N95 8GB. Somehow I managed to resist the lure of the iPhone (what really killed it for me was the sub-par camera and Telia’s insane pricing) but since I had gotten used to the idea of having a smartphone, I got the N95 instead. Apparently it has one of the best mobile cameras, but coming from an SLR background I’m not really impressed. It’s almost good enough for these “on-the-road-and-resized-for-the-web” shots anyway and I wasn’t expecting it to do anything better either.

Gotta be nice to have a MB
I was kinda hoping to get my first smartphone (ever) when iPhone was to be published in Finland. This dream died for two reasons:
1) Camera in iPhone, why in earth did they spoil the worlds finest cell phone with a camera!
2) Telia Sonera is the only service provider to sell those things and I’m not going to be their customer, ever!
