We look for beauty from vanishing untouched nature. We give value to nature with our eyes and seek for something breathtaking, something big, predefined beauty and value. The beauty of nature is all around us, even close by and unnoticeable, vanishing and fleeting. In nature, everything has its place, its own personality and its own story.
Elegance of a Ditch exhibition celebrates nature’s imperceptible beauty in ditches, roadsides, banks of ponds and wastelands. These burst with life, seizing the moment, and radiate life’s fleeting elegance. With my photographs I want to give my subjects a possibility to be seen.
The artworks are part of a larger series. The photographs were taken between 2014 and 2021.
Exhibition is open 22.7.–10.8.2025.
“For me taking photographs is a form of storytelling. It’s my love story to the world and my way to see the world deeper.”
“I want to speak for nature’s intrinsic value and imperceptible beauty and to increase the appreciation of nature with my photographs. Nature gives strength and perspective to life. We are part of nature. Diverse and healthy nature is also an investment to our own wellbeing.”
The third and the last exhibition to celebrate my cooperative’s 20th anniversary opened today, July 3rd at the Turku Main Library.
Exhibition, Together and Separete, is open until 30th of August. Welcome!

Nearly perfect, blank paper.
Longing for absent ink.
Scent of clean white.
Calling dance of words.
Line emerges, image appears.
Finally meets each other
like always been together.
Welcome to photography and travel blog of photographer Kati Kalkamo.
Blog’s name has had its inspiration from the poem above that I wrote years ago. The blog tells about finding inspiration, evanescence, possibilities of unique beauty and the joy of discovery. Near and far. On the road and in the midst of everyday living. In Finland and around the world. On land and at sea.
