Since I am a little computer geek, who spends a loooot of time in front of the screen, there’s so many things on the internet I am obsessed with and that I’d like to share with you. When I am at home there’s always music playing and I am on the constant look out for new artists. One thing I have fallen in love with over the past years are music blogs. I have a couple of favorites but my steady number one has always been DAYTROTTER. I love it so much, they should hire me to promote them. I love not only the music, the design, the illustrations but also the fact that they put so much thought in how to make everything work. The usability is so user friendly and it’s so easy to download free music. They always host musicians for studio sessions, which you can download absolutely free (4 tracks per session!).
Someone recently told me how nice of a photo spot that window in my kitchen is. Never realized it, until this morning, when I got photographed with really tired eyes and very bad skin. Have a good day everyone.
its 5 in the morning and insomnia has caught me. after turning around for quite a while i decided to get up and enjoy some yogi tea while browsing through photos. i stumbled upon two great photographers, who took beautiful images of sleeping people. the first two photos are by ezgi.polat and the second two by amber ortolano. Please don’t forget to credit them and not my blog when re-posting those photos.
so now, back to more browsing, more not sleeping and picking up my new lens in the morning.
Since I am getting some e-mails with questions on how to take photos, I decided to reveal one little advice on how to add a nice blur to your photos. It’s called “freelensing” and helps you get an effect close to the tilt-shift effect. You might be worried about dust on your sensor, but if you don’t move the lens too far away from it’s original position, nothing will happen. Here’s a little description and a couple of photos, where I tried it out myself.

Memo to myself: expired film doesn’t necessarily always have to turn out great. Mostly it does but this time, shooting two rolls at the Urban Art Forms Festival, most photos turned out crappy. It might be also the labs fault, but who cares now.
Anyway, here’s just a tiiiiny selection of the two days I spent at the festival.
