Bali Log Date: 21.12.2011 - It's almost Christmas...

So, its 3 days to Christmas Eve...
and to tell you the truth, the Christmas spirits are not inside me.
not since a long time.

Today started as a so-so day. went to the office and (tried to) get some work done.
Went home before sunset and sit somewhere for coffee, and then my phone rang.

Good news... Is it?
It is... a new hope, opportunities to do something new.
Learning the arts of the not so unknown.
And now, the heart is beating fast.

Is this an early christmas present?
The overthinking self got me again.
I am now feeling a chill down my spine, not on the new opportunities,
but on other stuffs.

And I see this things are growing on me, making me a changed person,
not as free-spirited as I used to be. All thanks to the ups and downs.
But to be a man (not being sexist or anything) I felt that sooner or later,
I do have to face this. And now, of all time, should be the time.

So brace yourself people, I'm jumping ship.
Hoping for a clear water, and salty seas.
Where I could, swim and be free...

Salute

Bali Log Date: 17.12.2011 - Cold weather, and some DIY Photo Scans

So, it has been a while now.
I think Im getting rusty by not saying things the way I used to.
It's December, Christmas is coming, A year is ending,
and boy do I got some news...

But carrying on, I just wanted to show you my pictures,
My friend processed it, and after a long while, I decided to do something about it.
So that you can also see them.

Here is what I did:
1. I set my laptop screen contrast to 100%, and then put a white background on it.
2. I stick my negative b/w film on the screen.
3. I took a picture of it with my digital camera, frame per frame.
4. I invert it in photoshop, and set it to monochrome.
5. Voila, here are the results.












And I do hope You like it.
Cheers,
Niki
