Daily Photo Design 0015

The last two photo designs were kind of sloppy. There are a lot more work to do with both of them. This photo does not need that kind of polish – I think. The early morning light does it all. It was shot with a compact camera, a Canon Ixus 5 megapixel.

Early visual Draft – The Location of Photography (in Web 2.0)

To Clarify: In the taxonomy, Photo Design inherits the properties of Photo Realism, and Photo Art Inherits those from Photo Design. There is no value embedded in this taxonomy….

Daily Photo Design 0013

Location:
I was cooking spare ribs and grilled pumpkin, noticed the beauty of the shape and color in the pumpkin. Little time. Busy busy. Tripod, camera, flash, blue reflector screen (intuition…). Sigma 30/1,4 lens with full aperture to separate background and foreground from the main motive. Busy busy, my wife passes and put the small pumpkin [...]

Location:
I was cooking spare ribs and grilled pumpkin, noticed the beauty of the shape and color in the pumpkin. Little time. Busy busy. Tripod, camera, flash, blue reflector screen (intuition…). Sigma 30/1,4 lens with full aperture to separate background and foreground from the main motive. Busy busy, my wife passes and put the small pumpkin exactly where it is in the photo – Serendipity for sure. Busy busy. Compact Flash card into computer. Photo software. Darken the background – hide the dishwasher and sink. Leaving some details in the background, and most in the foreground to locate the photo. I didn’t want the pumpkins to hover in darkness.

I’m currently thinking (an soon writing) about location in photo/design/art, in relation to everything that happened since the birth of the Internet. With this location / description appended to the photo, no one can mistake it for being an unsuccessful professional studio photo. The location of this photo is elsewhere and the location is built into the photo itself. It’s all about being creative and having fun. Playing with technology, with reality. Share impressions. Learning.

By the way, the water drops are genuine – moisture from pumpkin flesh meeting air… The water drops are instances of serendipity. If this had been a professional studio photo, the photographer probably would have wiped the pumpkin clean and after that added water drops at exactly the right places.

By the way no 2, this is a banana pumkin from our garden. Some say its the tastiest kind of pumpkin, and I find it difficult to disagree. It was delicious!

Spotify Recommendation: Nigel Kennedy

There is quite a lot of classical music in Spotify, but it can be hard to find it. The reason is partly due to the structure of their database. It doesn’t seem to have any column for “composer”, so the “artist” and the “composer” is mixed up in the database. So the best way to [...]

There is quite a lot of classical music in Spotify, but it can be hard to find it. The reason is partly due to the structure of their database. It doesn’t seem to have any column for “composer”, so the “artist” and the “composer” is mixed up in the database. So the best way to find classical music seems to be through the artist and not the composer.

Nigel Kennedy plays the violin like a god. He is known for doing exciting interpretations of traditional music, like Vivaldi.

Flatness

From the final paragraph:

From the final paragraph:

My project will not use researchers as argumentative tools. I will not use knowledge in the following way: X is a fact because Y say so, and since Y is ranked third in Web of Science, her deductions has a larger truth value than Z, because Z is not even ranked in Web of Science. When I am referring to another researcher, it is the Person, and the communicating act, I am referring to, not the authority. Practically all locations is treated as empirical material, rather than argumentative tools. This non-authoritative approach is an important methodology for me in my search for accountable research. The methodological approach is partly forced by the infinitesimal body of research available to me, which in turn is due to the short time period Internet has been something we could call a life world. This methodological approach render a blogger’s statement on the same level as something written by theorists as Donna Haraway, Jürgen Habermas, Sandra Harding, Nietzsche or Aristotle. Perhaps you could say that this methodology strives for an increasing flatness in the world of discourse.

If you are a vegetarian, you might want to look away. I you are a meat lover, you might want to click on the picture to view a larger version of the picture. This is a dried salted leg of lamb, hanging beside our tile stove. We were a bit worried of the cats attention, but she doesn’t seem to care. It’s exiting to see how the meat changes from week to week. It’s supposed to be ready to christmas. The lamb is from a local farm.
