Thanks for bearing with me through all these colorful art+fusion photos :)

art+fusion vol. 7

This guy on the right was also a star of the night. Obviously intoxicated he interfered most of the dancing performances, as this one pictured.  He was funny, but a nuisance. They guy on the left was a photographer and was doing a great job, but the girl in the middle with both of those guys on her side looks a bit out of the picture, if you know what I mean.

art+fusion vol. 1

I signed up as a volunteer photographer for a art and busker festival "art+fusion". It was about music, dancing, performing, buskers, art, poetry, films etc. Basically everything you can think of, even strip-dancing and poker playing. I have quite an abundance of photos I took there, so I will break the galleries down to shorter ones for easier viewing. 

Alberta Estonians

Tartu College opened an exhibition about Alberta Estonians, who were the first to come to Canada and settle here. The community at this day is not very large, but it is still there and they are trying to keep Estonianism alive.

Dance floor

Add a disco ball to your workshop and you have a dance hall!

Ktichen is the best place to hang out

It is amazing how kitchen look like during big parties - so many bottles, so muh food and all croded with people! :) Fun!

When workshop becomes a party venue

It is hard to believe that a workshop can make an excellent party venue, but this is what happened for the New Year's party at tghe workshop where the snowshoes were made not long ago. Just put the table away, add some lights and bring in a DJ - and the party is on!

Estonian Christmas party!

I was asked to take photos in an Estonian Christmas party last Saturday in Estonian House! Whohoo! Looks great, doesn't it?

Opening of an art exhibition vol. 3

Some cool and modern exhibits and cool visitors.

Opening of an art exhibition vol. 2

This one was about Prime Minister Harper. Speech was given, roses were given and he had become The First Nations People as well.

Opening of an art exhibition vol. 1

This was one of the coolest art exhibition opening where I have ever been. It was dedicated to the First Nation Peoples. It had so much from them and for them. You will see the photos in the next posts!

Christmas dinner in Estonian House by Estonian House Cafe vol.2

Here is more of the event. By the way there was a chance to participate in a raffle and it  was possible to win some fancy fruit baskets. I hope these photos gave you a better overview of Estonian traditions even very far away from home. Happy Christmas!

Christmas dinner in Estonian House by Estonian House Cafe vol.1

I had a chance to take photos at an interesting event thrown by Estonian House Cafe. Its participants were mostly elderly Estonian descendants. They bought the entrance which allowed them to eat the best Estonian Christmas foods and listen to a singer who had come from Estonia, just for this event. Erich Krieger is quite famous singer in Estonia. I had a chance to meet him and even get his autograph. I will show that in some other post.

More to come....
