Political Communication

"I'll break legs!" murmured the politician, when the picture was taken. The photographer cannot verify if the politician meant "your legs", "my legs" or legs in general. Nice portofolio, btw.

God I wanna hold them!

Good ol' boys appreciate classic values. That goes for the upper ventral region, too. If you party has just won the majority of Estonian seats in the European Parlament, you couldn't be blamed for being positively aroused by the beauty of the nature.

In my opinion Vilja Savisaar is a healthy change for Estonian MEPs. Enough of those chubby aunties and flat socialist lesbos. (The last two sentences express solely my personal view, not the the view of other authors of our blog).

Sausage to the People!

Edgar Savisaar, the mayor of Tallinn, opened aVienna sausage stand of his friend Alexander Kofkin (actually a chain of 11 stands).

What an interesting ring. What's that, yingyangwhingwhang? Can't get a closer look, sorry. The sausage looks straightforwardly sausagy though.

I must admit my dear friend Andres can take scary photos sometimes. But the lady meant to scare or more precisly to scare off everybody who's not unemployed. Yep, the sausages were given away for free at first.

Set to fire by a rainbow

Paparazzi Andres Putting got this photo from a fire in North-Tallinn Tööstuse street. No editing, no tricks, just the Estonian water, air and fire. Photo taken 14 May 2009

Chick Heil!

Impress all the ladies by shouting "Chick heil!" and wearing kitchenware "helmet". Oh, and if you haven't got decent car then try showing a submachine gun. But don't do it in a municipal flower bed, the cops have to take you away then.

Presidential run

Toomas Hendrik Ilves is not running for president, he already is. Btw, how did he manage to put off weight so quickly? Does running really help? Or some magic pills? Call Alice, I think she knows...

You won't be lonely in Tallinn

Hey all you fine English stallions! If girls are stupid and refuse to enter your one bedroom Bexley lair you're sharing with a friend then just come to Tallinn! You even don't have to ask things like "Have you ever seen London?" No sweet-talk need, our girls are ready for some action. And they have style! I mean can any broad in any overpriced Soho hangouts beat this mother ship of love?

Almond Sign to Writers

Laine Jänes (Wave Rabbit), the Estonian Minister of Culture, showing the sacred vulva sign at Estonian Writers' Union yearly assembly. Check out "mandorla" in Metropolitan Museum's glossary, it's a holy thing. Photo by Andres Putting (freelance/Delfi), 3 April 2009

Paintbrush Cult

This is the roof of the Viru Centre shopping mall in Tallinn.

And there is a young artist...

...who is into paintbrushes.

And ready it is. Yet another great paparazzi series from Andres Putting (freelance/Delfi), photos taken in the end of March 2009 in Tallinn, Viru Centre.

Politically Correct Heels

This is not Auschwitz

I guess we all sometimes feel that we hate our everyday job and environment. Still we keep fulfilling idiotic tasks and wear smiling masks for clients and bosses. Dropping out is an alternative but I wouldn't go for it.

The last photo shows vodka called "The Source of Joy" and small bottles of drinkable "eau de cologne".
Take a note of the blood on the floor. Somebody's legs are bleeding.

The Ring of Power

Paparazzi gather around Estonian president Toomas "Wild Cat" Ilves and the first lady. It's the Estonian independence day reception in the mostly Russian-speaking North-East of Estonia. Have you ever seen so much respect from the photohunters? They form a geometrically correct circle. We envy you, Tom!

A Dinner For Three

They say our economy has broken down... so I guess it's time to relax and dine in style. Photo by Andres Putting (freelance/Delfi), Tallinn, March 2009

Estonian State Budget Style

What to do if economy in your country crashes? And, darn it, you happen to be the minister of finance? Well, you just pick up a blue pen and adjust the state budget. How about a cut of... 8 billion Estonian kroons (EEK, around half billion Euros). Well, at least minister Ivari Padar has sweet round handwriting.
Photo taken by one the leading Estonian paparazzis Andres Putting (freelance/Delfi) in February 2009 on a press conference of the Estonian government, Tallinn, Toompea.

Come on baby light my Tallinn

Punk's not dead, punk's older than bread. How come that self made punk outfits are always provide more clash and glam than Prada or Pucci? The punk supermodel was spotted on the birthday of Estonian legendary punk band J.M.K.E. In the title I'm referring to yet another band, the Velikije Luki and their song of Estonian capital Tallinn going up in flames. Well, Jim Morrisson is involved as well.

Weatherproof Snowmen

A sad feature about snowmen is that they die when spring comes. Therefore the evolutionary process has developed fitter snowmen made of fashion industry raw materials. I wonder what do they do in summer?

Breaking the Law

It seems that if you wear enough fur you can consider yourself an animal and do not have to obey traffic signs meant for people and vehicles. That overcoat is absolutely fabulous and practical, though. Would love to see a corresponding hat with that. Photo by Andres Putting, 8. December 2008.

Russian Protest Spirit

A member of the Estonian Russian-speaking minority protesting in front of the parliament on Toompea. Blackshirt aesthetics flavoured with the flag of Russia. The gentleman was later taken away by the police. Photo by Andres Putting (freelance/Delfi), 12 August 2008.

Leaving Las Tallinn

She's in a hurry to catch a bus, bag open and boots loose, but still she has style. Lovely details like the red handbag, the colourful scarf and that grey round object, probably a sleeping bag or a blanket. Photo by Andres Putting, 11 December 2008, Tallinn.
