It's been a while since my last journal update, so I guess it's about time I wrote one.
School:I am currently studying photography, but I've already planned the next four years or so of my education. Next year I will study history (Norwegian and European history in general), and the following three years will most probably be a BA in Multimedia technology and Design. In other words, four years with uni, here I come.
But back to what's happening right now. I got about four months left in this school, and within those months there will be two weeks "internship" at a photo studio in my hometown, a 10 days trip to San Francisco, Easter holidays and one week winter/spring break. In other words; not that long until I got three months of summer vacation.
Photography: If there's something I've learned this year, then it's how to use a dark room. This has possibly been the best thing about the whole year, where I've learned how to photograph with an analog camera, develop the film and then develop the images. I'm using my grandfathers old Voigtländer Bessamatic camera from 1959, and the quality of the pictures is really good.
Recently we have also made our own cameras. I got an empty can (paint can) and made a tiny, tiny hole in it. A so called "pinhole camera". The light that shines through the tiny hole makes a negative picture on the light sensible, photographic paper inside the can. After developing that image, we make photo copies of it, and get the positive picture. Pictures
here!
Other stuff:There's not really anything going on besides school. I was planning a trip to Berlin with a friend, but it seems I wont have the money to go there after all. My laptop recently decided to die on me, so I gotta prioritize that at the moment. Hopefully I will have enough money to go to Hove this summer. Been there every year, cant miss one now.
I might start making my new portfolio soon too. Gotta refresh my memory on HTML and CSS, but it shouldn't be a problem.
