Monday, March 22nd, 2010Diana instant back
Saturday, March 20th, 2010So I am back from my Hyper Island week and I am being very productive I think.. I have started making a snow hut which I’m going to continue on the whole upcoming week unless it melts away and I have scanned in my instant back photos from the hyper week!
as you see there is dollar signs on every picture. thats the price I had to pay for not paying for my scanner program! I found a few free, but non for my mac, except one plugin for CS3, but I have CS4.
Bye bye Hyper Island
Thursday, March 18th, 2010This week I have been at my dear school, Hyper Island, for one week to tell the other students in my class and under about my internship. I also got my final project and group. I am goin to work together with Mathias, Jenny, Ole Martin, Erik and Sebastian in my class. Two of them are in Amsterdam together witn me and we will be able to work tight together. It will be a nice challange to both start on my new internship at De-construct and do my final project at the same time, but I will make it. In this project I have the role as project manager and will handle both internal and external contact.
We have also partied like only Hyper kids can this week and I have tested my new diana camera and my instant back. It was so cool! I will show you some when I get home and can scan them in/photograph them and upload them. There are a few GREAT pictures in the tiny bunch.
Now I am in Masse, Rasmus, Pelle and Lina’s apartment from DM11KNA. Together with Olle, Jonas, Jenny and Caroline from my class, DM10KNA, I am making a thank you dinner for these nice guys. After all, we have taken over their whole living room for the last few days. The dinner will be three courses and amazingly tastefull.
Going home
Thursday, March 11th, 2010I have now packed my bags and I am ready to go home! The plain leaves in a couple of hours and I am looking forward to get home to my family. It also seems like my suitcase is getting easier and easier to recognise for every time I go on a trip. I just hope what I have put on it this time will stick, unlike the Donald Duck sticker in the midle that fell of several years ago.

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Three more months in Amsterdam
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010I just got a call from Niel at De-construct saying that they wanted to have me as an intern at their office and I said yes! This gives me three more months in Amsterdam, then we will se where it goes from there. I am looking forward to April 1st, my first day at the office.
One day in Brussels
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Yesterday I went to Brussels to check out the town before I (maybe) move home to Norway. It was a great trip, but people where a bit all up in my business. This is some of what I saw chronology.
My very first sight of the city was the homless people lying outside the central station.
The church of saint Jacques-Sur-Coudenberg
More poor people. They where everywhere and so many.
The Atomium. I went inside it and it was amazing.
Mini and Fiat 500
The view from Atomium
A loooong stairway, luckely it was electric!
Some funky chairs
A nice white cardboard housewife with all her essensial tools
I love them old fashion TV’s
This one was my favorite piece inside the Atomium
And we are outside again
Me
Riding in a open bus
A car I liked
Another bus of the kind I was on
I went to the Chocolate Museum and saw a man make chocolate. He asked us if we spoke english and almost everyone said yes exept one girl who spoke frensh. So he talked in frensh during the whole demonstration.. It was hard to understand, but he used a lot of body language so I got most of it. Anyways the trip to the chocolate museum was a big downer. It was dull and boring.. But making chocolate is probably not as fun as eating it anyways. If you are planning a trip to Brussels, skip the chocolate museum and buy some chocolate in one of the stores instead.
Street art
The Justice Palace from the side, the front was coverd in buidling material so it was nicer from the side.
Panoramic view of town during sundown
I like this picture.
More street art
And over all the art there was a flying spray can watching over it.
The church of our Lady of Laken
The people of Brussels
Foam – Lomography
Friday, March 5th, 2010Today I went to foam, a photo museum in Amsterdam. I really liked it and I found a picture of Lofoten there. Which was a big pluss! There was a lot of great pictures there, defenitly worth a look.
Later today I went back to foam to a Lomography workshop. That was really great! I got the chanse to win a mini diana kamera, but I didn’t so I boght the big one in stead. Got to see a film, The Lomo camera: Shoot from the hip’ made by Alex Graham, about what Lomo is, how it is used and where it is from. It was a nice film! then I walked around the museum looking at all the beautifull and inspiring photos that where there. There was also a playground in the museum where you could try out a Diana. They had put up this cool urban room for people to play with the diana in. this is my result:
Yhea, it looks a bit shitty. I took the photo of the photo with the webcam..
One of the best things at the workshop was getting to talk to some lomography photographers. I chatted a bit with this girl who had taken some great pictures. I am for sure going to do great things with my camera!
Fixing up at home
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Today I feel like a homewife, even though I have no one to be a wife for. I have cleaned the whole apartment, and cleand up in all my stuff, made the apartment nice looking and inviting. I am very happy with myself now=) I even put up some Christmas decoration on the window. Yhea, I know the spring started yesterday, but after Christmas I took down these things from the window and put them in a corner. After lying together for three months the things started to take colors from each other.. Santas white beard became red on one santa and on the other it became green. So I wanted to put it up again.
