PEOPLE IN THE PIT

For a few years, I photographed Finnish people living and doing things in old gravel pits. Here is what I found. One edition was published by Helsingin Sanomat. Project is still ongoing, so you can give me a hint.

Enontekiö, 2020. Lasse Tapani built a shed in a gravel pit situated right next to his home.
