Technical notes for loving nerds

iPhone 3GS -- When it's finally payed for I'll get the iPhone 4 ;)
Hipstamatic App -- Love!
Various virtual lens and film combinations, try all, stay with a few.

Organizing and editing: Adobe Lightroom
iMac, ColorSync calibration, sRGB colorspace

My philosophy here, in correspondence with Hipstamatic, is analog-like shots with a minimum of editing. When edited, slight tone and colour adjustments.

More unorthodox composition is encouraged by the simple equipment and the square image format, which I now find both more versatile and interesting than the rectangular format.

Original resolution is Hipstamatic for iPhone 3GS high quality mode 1536x1536 px.
Images are uploaded to Flickr and linked to blog.
Versions shown, generated by Flickr, are 500x500.
The larger versions (when clicked) in Lightbox script gallery are 640x640.

I find that small formats works best; more intimate, maintain quality and has an analog "print" feel.

Välkommen! Welcome!

Till min fotoblogg.

Vigd åt mina mobilbilder, med virtuella vintage-linser och filmer. Som väcker världens ytor till en större intensitet!

Jag vill fånga den förhöjda verklighet som ständigt överraskar mig eller går att framlocka - överallt och alldeles i närheten.

Welcome to Near Surface Images!

The surfaces of the world are always near. Rendered through a vintage-breaked mobile camera lens, they get intense and reveal more.

I think that I often seek to evoke some presence which at first perhaps is not fully apparent. When successful I feel it's like a mystic realization.

I feel lucky to have the curiosity and a changing eye.

"The windows of the world are covered with rain. Where is the sunshine we once knew?  Everybody knows when little children play, they need a sunny day to grow straight and tall. Let the sun shine through."
