Format: C
A tip for those who want to backup tomorrow… do it today. I had planned to upload a gallery each day until my portfolio is complete. Well, my computer started becoming really slow a few days ago. Instead of ringing the alarm bells and backing up everything, I first tried to solve the problem. The antivirus scan remained fruitless, so I thought defragmenting might be a good idea. The next reboot greeted me with an enthousiastic ‘Disc error. Press any key to restart.’ which then left me with a black screen. A friend of mine brought Knoppix to my attention, on which I eventually managed to launch Roadkil’s Unstoppable Copier, which is attempting to salvage my C: partition as I type (on my sisters’ laptop). Let’s hope it’s as unstoppable as it claims to be. This major crash in conjunction to me moving back to the UK beginning of next week means there won’t be any updates for a week or so.
New gallery: European Cities
This gallery, European Cities, is similar to ‘In the Streets’; the focus of these photographs however is on the cities’ landmarks and peculiarities rather than the people living in them.
New gallery: In the Streets
My camera often accompanies me at my aimless wanderings through European cities. In the latest gallery, In the Streets, you may see what I encountered during my trips.
New gallery: a3s7rAcT
Welcome the latest addition to the portfolio: a3s7ract. As my creativity goes into images rather than words, I’ll let Albert Camus give you some food for thought while you’re browsing the gallery: ‘Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.’
New gallery: (In the name of) Love
The gallery (In the Name of) Love is now online. It features my interpretations of the (it has to be said) rather commonplace type of photographs you may find all over the internet. They make for a nice present though.
New gallery: Animals (are beautiful people)
I’ve just uploaded the next portfolio gallery: Animals (are beautiful people). The photographs range from venomous sheep and bunnies to fluffy arachnids - or something along those lines.
[Enter] The Portfolio
After much ado about nothing and loads of sound and fury with various gallery programs I have finally settled for one that suits my needs. I proudly present the new portfolio, implemented into the site structure for good (long live kimili).
The portfolio has been created using Flash 8 and Slide Show Pro with the Wet Floor Mod. I’ll gradually replace the old posts which still run using Simpleviewer and captions will be added to the pictures.
For now, check out the first three galleries: ‘Aaand Action’ features people trying to break out of their everyday routine and pushing their limits. ‘The World is a Stage’ [but the play is badly cast. -Oscar Wilde] shows pictures from musicians, actors, or anybody else able to draw an audience around them. ‘Me Myself and I’ gives you an idea of the guy behind the camera - photographers are usually strangely absent from their own work.
Don’t forget to come back for more, I’ll be adding a new gallery in the portfolio every day until… well, until I run out of photographs.
Inspired by Nature
A while ago I discovered a small pond in a nearby nature reserve. Yesterday I went back to take some picture of these little green creatures and ended up with what I thought a nice concept for an advert.
One of the frogs meanwhile tried to outsmart me by jumping onto the camera.
