Fluff

Well, If you ask me I would probably say that the most common photographic motive in the world would be the sunset or the clouds or something even more cheesy. Like flowers and trees & such. But I guess there's a certain thing to these objects that just makes us want to perpetuate them. I myself has recently decided to take my photographing up a notch. And by that i don't necessarily mean by snapping photos like this, more like the fact that I just signed a contract with a school photography company doing portraits and such. Anyhow, these shots where taken on my flight back from stockholm after a weekend course with this new company. I don't usually shoot these kind of stuff but I guess I just got caught in the moment.

What if..

What if all the trees surrounding us confirmed thinkers, suddenly catched feelings & emotions. Would the tree it self feel tall or would it even notice us? Not that there’s only tall trees, but I’m thinking theoretically. Since the climbers their self, the humans, the new generation ”groundbreakers” often refer to others as taller, not so young people. Meaning they often are kids, of course.
Would the breeze be irritating, or would their mood simply be depending on the weather? I, myself would probably be frustrated not to be able to control where my leaves where blowing. Imagine not being able to be completely still, or even worse, imagine yourself standing all your life, and by the time you finally hit horizontal position you die? Bullshit. But most of all I would probably miss my yearly favorite leaf when it fell of my branch too early in the autumn. Once again imagine,

Your favorite buddy leaf slowly looses grip of your o-so tired branch after several months holding on, succeeding to avoid the new generation grabbing them and ripping them of as they pass climbing. It slowly lets go and sails onto the air’s gentle way down on to the ground, where you not only can’t reach it, yet still have to watch it be either blown away by the breeze or watch it slowly decay as the weeks go by.

And there’s one thing too. Not being able to know time. A lot of people’s lives circuits around the fact that they are always, fully capable of knowing what time it is. If not they get stressed, concerned or dare I say, LATE!!!
To me it’s quite fascinating actually. I had plans today, but as you read this I’ve already (and I have to say, hopefully) been sitting with these words about 40 minutes more than you, just so you can read it all in a small amount of minutes. No worries though, really. I at least have the option to get moving towards the refrigerator, grab some food & be on my way. Now try imagine doing that being a tree.

Digital-art / Illustrations

Nyligen hemkommen från kurs i Stockholm, Skolfoto Norden i två dagar. Kändes bra att få lära sig proffskameror lite bättre, inte för att det var superinvecklat, men så man har lite insyn iallafall. Gällande skolfotojobbet i övrigt så blickar jag framåt nu, mot 1 augusti då det bär av mot Wasa, Finland och 10 dagar slutkurs tätt följt av upphämtning av min foto-utrustning & firmabil. Spännande! Kursen i Stockholm var intressant på många sätt men då vi inte skulle gå igenom så himla mycket praktiska metoder förens i Wasa i höst bestod den mestadels av kafferaster & matpauser. Inte mig emot dock, kaffe smakar fint! Kursen avslutades med ett besök på stockholmskontoret och när det var avverkat hade vi runt 3 timmar att döda innan det var dags att flyga hem igen. Satt och pulade lite med en massa olika stockbilder och kom underfull med att jag tyckte det var ganska roligt. Här är resultatet efter 3 timmars flygplatshäng!

Notera att dethär alltså är mina kreationer. no stealing tack!
Andra bilden är ju faktiskt Lincoln för er som inte känner igen göbben

just making a point

This is Marc Johns stuff, the guy is awesome! Check these out and get into the ironic world he lives in. The man is just proving a point. Just love the simplicity of it all.

Testade på att jobba med slowmotion lite, resultatet blev därefter faktiskt helt okej! Klippen som jag använde till denhär rullen är från förra våren, och filmades med min Nikon d90. Tyvärr i så lågt som 24fps, och där av blev det lite sloppy, men tyckte fortfarande jag fick till det helt okej! Kolla och se vad ni tycker!
