These past weeks I have been really busy, both in school and after. I have been working on my second darkroom project, its about texture and shape. We have to take two photos of shapes and two photos of texture. I will finish it tomorrow and I will try to post some.

I also had a architecture project and we had to take both inside and outside the house. It was something that I have never done before so it was really interesting. We had to make an HDR inside the house and we could do just any work on the outside. We had to take one photo of the whole house and also something that makes the house different from other. We had to take the photos of houses in one museum in Reykjavik and its called Arbaejarsafn and it has mostly old houses from around Iceland. We will also take photo of the same house later this winter probably when there is some snow. In December we are going to have a photo exhibition in this museum with the photos that we took in this project.

I also have been working on a project with sheep's its the forth digital project in school, the third was about taking photos of a painting and color correcting it with a McBeth ColorChecker. I will be working on the sheep project in school next week. Hopefully it will be finished before next weekend so I can post them here.

Well I think thats about everything that happend this past two weeks.

until next time...

For the past week I have really busy with school. I went to a lecture with Anna Ósk Erlingsdóttir and it was really educating. She has mostly been taking fashion photography and she has had photos on covers of several magazines. She studied in Australia and stayed there for about 2 years. She told us that we have to practice to get bater and we are the only once that can promote us.

I spent some time in the darkroom in my school and I was still working on my first assignment, I have not finished it yet but the rest of the images will come when they have dried up. The assignment was "The way to school" and it had to be something about our trip to school. I decided to make like a story, the things I would do on my way to school. The first one is the breakfast, the muffin and some chocolate milk. The second one is a woman waiting for the bus at the bus stop. The third one is the bus arriving at the bus stop and picking up passengers. I will put descriptions for the other 3 when I have uploaded

them....

Now we are working on an architecture photography and also an assignment on sheep's roundup. We will also be working with studio lights next week mainly taking photos of other photos or paintings. I'm exited about that assignment because I have not had much experience with studio lights so it will be something new for me.

I will be working hard this next week because I have to prepare works and start the second darkroom assignment.

Until next week.

Few days ago I was browsing the web and I found a homemade light box and I decided to try to make one on my own. I took one of the boxes I used when I was moving few days ago, I cut holes on both sides of the box and then I taped baking paper over them. It seems to work fine but I have to try it a bit batter.

If you click on the photo you can see it larger.

Last Thursday I went to a photo lecture with Ken Opprann a Norwegian photographer. He has traveled to more than sixty countries and has published widely in Norway. He came to Iceland because his new book is being published here. The book is called Faith. He has been taking photos for this project for many years alongside his work, when he travels he always stays extra days to work on this project. It mainly is about faith and when people are doing things that concern their religion. I recommend people to check out Opprann’s photos they are quite good.

In school I have been working on a street photography project, it’s been a bit hard, but fun as well. We only got to stay on a small area of town, but it’s ok because there are still many things to photograph there. Its the first project that we use digital cameras, we already had one with black and white film, I developed mine last week and I hope they all look good. I will try to post some next weekend.

The Begining

I'm gonna try to have a blog, so I will do some photography work every week and I will put it in here. I'm still trying to find my stile in photography but I like street photography, black and white film photography and I'm also really into photo manipulation.

My first work that I'm gonna post here is a photo manipulation that I did in one class last year. I know its not from this week but this is my test blog so after this it will be new....
