A day of ugly faces

So today I am showing you the work of yesterday's mini project: Ugly Faces. The deal was that I would make a strip of four photos every waking hour with me looking like an idiot. Or ugly at the very least. So I took a photo strip every hour and am posting them now by following the hours of the day. So the morning is first, and from then on all the way to nighty night night. Why do this. Well I like the fact that I can see myself throughout the day and witness first hand what other people see when they see me during that day. Of course I won't be looking the same way when they see me for I will be looking in weird ways, but I like it that way... Maybe I will do something similar but then with a photo an hour for one week and put those all together. Though I'm not sure about that yet, it will take a ridiculous size of my brain to keep thinking about it and remembering to shoot every hour or so.

Ugly Faces

Today I have started a new mini project which is called ugly expressions. This project entails that I will take a photo of myself every waking hour today and post them all tomorrow. This idea started when I was lying on the couch fooling around with the Incredibooth app. This app is a sort of Hipstamatic but it makes four photos in a row (like the photo booths out there). The main difference though is that it makes photos using the front camera on your iPhone (so the one facing you, which you use for face time e.g.). I really like this app as well and decided to do this project. The reason I like doing ugly faces is because I like them! I like making them, I like shooting them, and I especially like the combination of both. So except for this free sample right here, you will see nothing else of me today.

See you tomorrow.

Some Photos, I Think....

There we go boys and girls... Today I am having a little bit of an off day. I had one of the weirdest dreams ever. It was about a terminator kind of post-apocalyptic world and I was in the smack dead middle of it. That brought me a weird waking up.

Hipstaing Again

For those of you brave enough to have thought: "Ooo... Hipstamatic! I want to see some more of that!", I bid you all a very big welcome. For those of you who accidentally clicked or misread the link and are now bummed out that there is still more Hipstamatic... Ah just keep reading anyway ;) I love having you on the blog :)

As for the photo on the left, I realised that people like to see me as the blithering idiot. That in itself should probably explain the photo, doesn't it? No? Ah well...

Friends, iPhones and Hipstamatic

A couple of weeks ago I discovered the new family album functions in Hipstamatic and it gave me a idea. Since it lets us share photos with other hipsta users I decided to ask a friend of mine to join in this album and fill it together. The quest: to take photos of whatever you see, tag it with a special tag, with that put it in our shared album and share it with each other, do this all one month and after that see what we've created.
Today I will show you some photos that didn't make the cut (and so weren't uploaded to the shared album)

Antwerp - Teachers and Hipsta

Hello All.
After two weeks of absence I am back again with some nice shots of Antwerp, Belgium.
Me and all my fellow teachers of UC (the school I taught at until recently) went out for a trip to Antwerp and we had a great time, great beer and above all, Great Weather.
Next to all the rolls of film I shot I also shot some hipstamatic :)

Days 28 -> 64 - Hipstamatic Overload

This is what I would call a Hipstamatic overload. During the last few weeks I did not have my camera around at all to make any photos. Luckily I did always have my iPhone with me (life line to the world) so I have shot a lot of pics with Hipstamatic. I do understand of course that it is a lot of the same thing. Well you will have to learn to deal with it....... *smile*
From tomorrow on there will be a lot less Hipsta photos and a great deal more regular and flash photos.

Day 27 - A brief sun

On this day the sun was out for almost a few minutes and I took the time to bask in its warmth. Of course I also took a few shots that day, but that was mostly of the great clouds that were out as well.

Take a look after the jump......

Day 26 - Cardbox Car

No really lengthy story today, just some pics I ran across when I was walking around Mill while on camp with the Youth Choir I play the piano at.

I saw the car and loved the sight of it :)
 Whipped out my Hipstamatic and presto :)

Slightly more after the jump........

Day 24 - On the bus again

I spend quite some time on the bus, but you have probably figured that out by now :)
As I bought a new lens for the Hipstamatic app (you can buy several different lenses for the app and each has its own look to it) I simply had to try it out.

This one is called Roboto Glitter and it has a glittery (duh) but also a very centralised look to it.

More after the jump....

Day 17 - On the Road Again

I just love shooting pictures on buses, which btw is a totally confusing plural of the word bus, but more on that another time.

Like I said, I love to shoot people at bus stops or buses. They all have a strange silent contemplating look on their faces. Sadly, people don't take kindly to shoving a telephoto lens in their faces while on the bus, or don't really like the sound of a clicking shutter. Hipstamatic it is then.

Day 15 - The Tale of Two

The photo you see to your left has a pretty entertaining story to it, although the actual tale took place a couple of months ago.

The photo is where I shot my second shoot for a client :)

So jump through the looking glass and straight into the Tale of Two.
