Shower

Sometimes I feel like I would like to stay in the shower forever and let all my responsibilities follow the water down the drain, letting time pass and enjoying the heat of the water slowing down my pulse and calming me down.

After a while my hands turn old and it strikes me that I’m losing time. I would never survive in a state where I let time go by without controlling it. Getting older without creating new memories. My time is what I make of it, and after all these responsibilities follows space that one gets to fill with goodies of preference. Some watch tv, some go shopping, some hang out in pubs, I travel.

Applying that to my current situation; after a whole day of working, reading this book, studying and doing that presentation tomorrow – I’m off to Barcelona.

And all is good :)

Photoshop cheating

People sometimes say that using photoshop is cheating. I would say not using photoshop is like writing a book without re-reading and editing it. You simply cannot get everything the way you want straight out of camera, especially not if you’re shooting with a digital compact.

On this particular shot, however, except from just editing levels, contrast and noise.. the taxi was bothering me so much I had to make it dissapear.. it was ruining the whole mysterious feeling around the scene! And yes.. I would say deleting a taxi from a picture could be considered cheating. But I don’t care, it bothered me, it’s my picture, period.

Want to compare shots? Here they are, the original one as taken with my compact Canon IXUS 980is, compared to the processed one :)

Now all of you just pointing and shooting, if you have a touch of nerdyness inside.. get photoshop and start exploring the possibilities!

You & The Universe

This is simply amazing, it certainly extended my perception of size, time and space.

Travel from the mountaintops of the Himalayas, through our galaxy and through the whole known universe!

From the Digital Atlas of the American Museum of Natural History, you can download the atlas here and explore the universe on your own computer, though it’s not anything like google earth but rather a very complicated program. However, enjoy!
