Finland in the Seventies

3 Jukka Male Museo

I was young. I wanted to make pictures of people. Although I lived in a city, Helsinki, I worked one summer with horses on the country side and learned to know people having their local newspaper in the Hausjärvi-Kärkölä area. We got friends and even more. I think it all started in the year 1970 and went on the next some years, maybe five to six years more.

One can not call these pictures a real documentary. I didn’t even make notions who these people were. I don’t know their names. That is something what I find interesting. They represented me generic people. People very often are very same kind of people where ever they are.
