About

I've been a stereo photographer for the past 6 years or so. Even when I was a teenager, I was fascinated by everything three-dimensional. I programmed some 3D algorithms on my computer. Studying computer science was a natural choice for me. I wrote my master's thesis about virtual reality collaboration.

I was hired by Nokia to do virtual reality research. One particular project required synthetic facial animation and I designed, programmed and built a 3D scanner that creates a virtual 3D replica of a human face. One spin-off of this project was a patent for biometric human recognition (6,775,397).

In 1999, I moved from Finland to Toronto, Canada and started doing database programming for living. I missed the 3D aspect of my previous work I had lost and started taking stereoscopic photos as a hobby.
