With the cancer awareness campaign last week I heard it a lot – this is not the end. Recently the phrase has become so familiar, whether I have tried to convince me in it myself or have been told. I keep humming lyrics ‘this is the end’ while forcing ‘not’ to the middle of it. I have been through devastating times, and yet, the world and I both seem to be moving on.

Today child of my dear friend died at birth.

..and the world still seems to be moving on.

The photos are from a fund-raising concert of Estonian Cancer Society held last week at Nokia Concert Hall in Tallinn. I was very excited to be involved in it and to do my bit of the performance on stage in front of 3000 people including the President (as I was told). I know I was an anonymous fellow on stage behind the singers, but even so I took full enjoyment out of facing the full house gracing us with standing ovations; I just cheered and laughed out loud, oh what a moment!

Oh, btw, these are the first photos from my new toy, Canon EOS 60D.
