The Lost Ones

81/365

I was all day in Oslo, shopping and also seeing an art-photography exhibition. It was nice seeing things from a different perspective and seeing a different way to work with photos.

This is my cousin who gladly helped me with modeling today :)

Hit & Run

It's day 60!! Oh god, how fast time has gone. Normally I wouldn't have noticed this, but now the days are counted so. Just 40 days until day 100. And that is a lot.

Okay so, I got this idea while editing yesterdays photo. That is why it is alike. And I wanted to do it on asphalt, but I honestly didn't want to risk my life. I hope no one takes the title bad, but I felt it fit.

Okay, so honestly I have never had nostalgia or missed my childhood. but I thought it was a nice thing to try and express.

And this obviously isn't one of my best. but guess what? I learned more from this than what I did on maybe my 5 last ones. I am happy about it. It is all what the 365 is about :)

In bad times of our lives, we search for the good things, the things that bring us back to life. That was what I tried to express with this. The flower is supposed to represent all the good things in our life, while the forest is our broken and bad surroundings.
Hold onto the good.

I want this photo to mean that sometimes we get exhausted having so much to do, so much stress we need to find time to just breath, inhale and relax.

Inspired by the amazing Beata! Check her out :) <3

Outtake from day 44.
Today I have been kind of sick. I have not been feeling well at all. headache, dizziness. all that stuff. For once I have ideas, but no energy to do them. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow :)

And I'm not sure if my uploads are getting worse or if I am settling with the fact that, not every photo in a 365 can be good.

How to defeat gravity part 2
First photo
A series I started a long time ago, but never got back to.

This turned out so boring I had to rotate it.

~~If anyone has got any idea what I could call this, please come with it. I have no idea.~~ Nevermind, Moritz helped me!

This are my two cousins and I am so glad they could model for me, because I have no motivation to take self portraits. I feel it stops me from develop.

Just got home from work, and I have to go again. This is from yesterday, I finally got to shoot the sunset :) I have tried to get a smiling photo of me for months now, and now I know I wont do that again haha.
I'm not sure if I have time to shoot anymore today since I have to go to work early tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great evening!

Realization

Realizing something about yourself is easy, changing it is hard. But that is what I have intended to do. Change myself. I have finally realized what I am doing to myself now, it is not good. I don't want to say too much about it, but it is mostly about procrastinating waay to much. That will ruin most things, including photography.

The last week now that I have had vacation, most of my days have been like this; go to bed at 4 o'clock in the morning, wake up at 1 o'clock the day after, watch desperate housewives for the next 4 hours, eating dinner THEN go out shooting. And it just does not work this way anymore. I realized that today, because I wanted to shoot the sunset, so I hurried up just to find out the sun had already set. Then I found myself in great frustration thinking WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW?! I ended up trying to take some self portraits, then I went to the water and I bathed with a dress. Theeen, finally.. This. Done. Shooted at midnight. I do not want to do this with myself anymore. I am making the 365 way harder than it really is.

The Secret Meeting

Today I learnt to always have low expectations, because then you will never be disappointed in a shoot. I honestly didn't believe this was going to be anything, but I am happy with it.

And I just haad to add the deer. The last days I have met so many deer while being outside shooting. It is so wonderful.. Even if they just run away from me. ah, and my mom came with me to this abandoned house, I really wanted to shoot inside, but all the doors were locked and the windows were all closed with nails.. Biggest disappointment I have had in a long time.

Thank you so much Pauline Louise and Abbi for the wonderful testimonials! <3

I can say I'm proud of myself. What I have achieved with photography so far was unbelievable for me, just a few months ago. I still remember my first day on flickr and I had uploaded my first photo, wondering where I could get contacts and comments from. And now I have almost 1000 people who has added me as contact!
Thank you all so much for following me, and supporting me. I appreciate it so so much! :)

This is inspired by so many people, feelings, and thoughts that I don't want to write about it all.

Actually today was the last day at school before the holidays. I didn't know that.. But yes so now that is the first photo of the summer! I hope I can keep my thoughts focused on photography. I really have some things I need to sort out, and think out :) Plus I still have catching up to do.
Hope you all have a great weekend <3

The last days I have been in a weird mood. A careless mood. I just want to lie on the ground.. stare at the clouds and listen to music. I just want to think that this earth is beautiful and that the best is yet to come.
Life is such a complex thing yet at the same time, so simple. This is what I spend my days thinking about.

thanks so much for all the support <3 that is what makes me continue this project at the moment.

I will be gone the next 2 or 3 days because I'm going on a class trip. See you in a few days :D I will catch up when I'm home again.

I have come to the point where I hate the 365, hate it so much. Still I do not want to end it, I really want to finish it, I want to accomplish something. Improve.

For me there are some things that are perfect. The sunset. When I see a sunset, specially the most beautiful and gorgeous ones, I catch my mind being gone. There are just some things that are so perfect in this world that I cannot describe it. We have all have those moments when we realize this world, this world is so beautiful.

In these moments, I realize we are just humans. We make mistakes, the world keeps on going around, the time keeps going. No one is perfect, but we can always embrace our surroundings, embrace the small moments.

Just breath. Life doesn't have to be as complicated as we make it.

Thank you so much Silje, Gabriella & Lisa for writing me testimonials ! <3

Not a selfie today! It feels so good to shoot other people, and specially Karl. He is a great model, and so patient :)
I have seen a lot with butterflies lately.. and I found these lovely things in the store and thought.. yeah, why not try.

I guess I'm quite happy with this since it is my first portrait expanding. Loads of mistakes, I know.
I'm glad I finally did a portrait like did, I have tried several times on myself but it just hasn't worked. So I spent 5 minutes shooting this, while I would have used 30 minutes if it were myself. (setting the focus etc.. )

So this weekend I'm doing a presentation exam for school, so I guess the next days I won't focus as much on photography.

Reverie whisper in my ear,
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid,
Rollercoaster through the atmosphere,
My imagination's taking me away.

Firstly.. A big hug and thanks to my lovely cousin who bought that to me. I am not sure what it is called, but it is hanged over the bed to prevent small creepy bugs to come into your bed at night :) Or some of us use it to feel like sleepy princesses.. I definitely use it for the princess part! Well, my cousin has known for a long time that I have wished for that, so she bought it for me as a done-with-exams present. She is the kindest person on this earth.. really. Not even my parents thought about buying me a present haha.

Well, so while editing this I was listening to Owl City. So no wonder why it turned out the way it did.
