365 days project
1 min read
I started a 365 days project where I'll try to take a self portrait a day over a year... I started this project on my website www.spako.lu
I'm not certain if this field really is something I can excel at, but anyway it'll be a nice way to take out my camera everyday, be a little creative, get to know my flashes and other gear and maybe even end up with a nice series.. to some this might appear ridiculous, exhibitionistical or whatever... I hope some may take pleasure in looking at my shots anyway.. even if they clearly differ from what I did before...

which way to go?
3 min read
When I started shooting with my 350D and got more and more into photography I first used static small subjects, such as lightbulbs, fruit, vegetables an flowers. They were pretty patient subjects and I could spend several hours there, trying to figure out the right settings for a shot and I got a lot more familiar with my gear.
Then my New Zealand trip took me to landscape photography, in which I found great pleasure. Unfortunately landscape subjects are rarely all that interesting over where I live. No rough mountains, unresting shores or even wide fields that could make for great landscape shots... So I always have to be patient, wait for the next holiday trip I'll take to get some more opportunities to enjoy this sort of photography...
So for the last year I found myself wandering around abandoned buildings, shooting the decay of our society by examining those remnants of the origin of our wealth. I made friends, met interesting people through this new activity, but I never really could call myself a hardcore urbexer. I'm scared of heights, have huge respect of rules and authorities, so I'm basically not really cut out for this sort of hobby. I still like to explore new buildings, but I rather do it around here, without having to drive hundreds of km to get to one place and shoot the same shot as 50 people before me.
With my new lighting gear waiting here at home for me to get creative I kind of feel a little lost... my shots vary a lot between landscapes, urbex and portraits and they kind of reflect the way I feel.. I don't know which way to go .. should I stick with urbex, just because lots o people like to look at these pictures? Or should I try to get more in to people photography? trying to shoot funny, unusual portraits of friends? I'm not certain and I feel unsettled because of this... I don't know which way to go...
I guess I'll just have to wait; take the time to experiment and by this finding a new sort of photography that could suit me and bring me fun...
lots of ramblings that probably nobody will ever read
