I have been working as photographer and then in several Estonian museums on positions related to exhibitions and photographic collections. With academic background in cultural geography my interest is drawn to landscape issues in connection to both photography and heritage sector.
I’m also obsessed with crowdsourcing as there is so much information ordinary users can contribute to enrich public collections with additional metadata. Since the end of 2012 I've been dedicated full time to developing Ajapaik.ee – a crowdsourcing platform for geotagging and rephotographing historic pictures.
