Poladroid

Så, nu har jag testat att blogga på svenska och på engelska och det känns inte rätt att utesluta något av språken, så jag tänker fortsätta på båda.

Polaroid har alltid haft en varm plats i mitt hjärta, effekterna man kan få till, färgerna och fotokvaliteten gör att alla bilder blir magiska. Ibland kan det mest tråkiga objekt förvandlas likt en fjärilspuppa till något spännande och vackert. Dominik Fusina har utvecklat det underbara polaroid programmet Poladroid som låter oss leka med våra digitala bilder och förvandla dem till polaroider. Än så länge finns programmet bara för Mac OS men Dominik håller på att välja ut folk för att testa en alpha versionen för PC. Har vi tur kommer julen två gånger i år!

My Xmas 2008

So, I've tried blogging in swedish and in English and since I don't want to exclude any of the languages, I'm going to continue with both from now on.

Polaroid's always had a special place in my heart. The effects, colours and image quality can turn even the most boring object into something magical. Dominik Fusina has developed a wonderful polaroid application called Poladroid which lets us play with our digital images and turn them into polaroids. So far the only version of the program is for Mac OS but Dominik is about to let a few chosen ones test the alpha version for Pc. If we're lucky, christmas will come twice this year!

First snow..

Yesterday the first trembling snowflakes graced us with their beauty. And even though this usually means a whole lot of chaos (our city is NEVER prepared for snow even though it happens every year) and a whole lot of slush -it still puts a smile on my face.

Living on the southern tip of Sweden we do get the longest hours of sunlight per day (compared to the northern parts), the downfall of living in the south is that it's usually too warm and it melts too fast. So basically our winters are just grayness layered with the occasional sunny day. Snow brightens up everything and makes the darkness of winter so much easier to handle.

Naturally the rest of the evening was spent listening to cheezy christmas music while putting up the christmas decorations.

I'm crossing my fingers this winter.. let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
