When I arrived in Finland I wanted to meet locals and escape from the black hole that is Erasmus dorms and Erasmus parties. I was there to experience Helsinki, and thus it struck me that checking out the university clubs and organizations might help me get a foot in the door of Finnish culture, somehow. And out of the clubs I checked out, YOK was the only one I stuck to.
I went on a booze cruise to Stockholm, developed film, scanned film, participated in a fanzine, went to the Christmas party, used the studio and met nice people. The nice people part is the most essential one, of course. Because it leads to other non-foto related things, like parties, friends, trips. Ya’know, fun stuffz.
