Hipsta
There is a lot of stuff happening lately on the iPhone camera front. A lot of new apps have been popping up. So what else to do than to try them. So I gave the “Hipstamatic” a try and I really liked it. So here are a few shots I made lately:

Use it to find the photography you like using the simple idea that people whose work you like, probably like stuff you’ll like. You start with a set of pictures — if you authenticate, it’ll use 20 of your last 100 favorites — otherwise it’ll start with somebody’s favorites. Click any picture to load more.
Great idea, works beautifully.

Yankees
I am not really a baseball fan. Hard to become if the only thing they showed us in Belgium was a 10 seconds clip with a comment in the sense of “…and the Yankees won again…”. That was it. I don’t even think there was a serious league in Belgium. In the Netherlands on the other hand, they played for real and even showed the occasional game on sunday TV.
But that’s enough about it. What I want you to see is a time-lapse video of the Yankee’s final: 12,000-Faceted Diamond. Enjoy !
The unthinkable
OK, you can only read this if you understand Swedish. Not really fair to all of you. But what it comes down to is that now that photographers do their yearly trips to the schools here in Sweden, one photographer decided to retouch a photo (take away a birthmark) of a six year old girl without asking the parents.
Just.not.acceptable.
Cardboard Camera
I have always been interested in photography, but the step to actually buy a camera and start playing for real took a while. I always had a few point and shoot cameras and never actually used them. They were there and I only used them when I went on holiday. But then a few years ago I bought a Canon 300D. In the beginning I shot everything. Sometimes it sounded like a machine gun. Not really anything worthy to show friends (or even myself). But then you start reading, and reading, and reading. And you start to understand how a camera works.
Then I bought a Nikon D300 last year because I realised I was at the edge of the capabilities of the Canon. The Nikon is amazing to work with and even though I slacked the last couple of months, my interest is still there. And I feel I have more time now Zeb is not just a baby anymore but becoming a little boy. So I start reading again, exploring photography. And I find myself looking more and more into film photography. The reason is that it just feels better. It looks a lot better. It’s ….. original, the first….
So I wandered the corridors of the interweb again today and stumbled onto this: Cardboard Twin Lens Reflex Camera. Here is the video of how they made it. And believe it or not, they actually turned it into a pinhole camera and took some shots with it as well.
