I seem to do mostly "household" photography.

I am not sure if "Household Photography" actually is the right expression, when I use it in English - because now i get the feeling that in English it might mean something different. Like Star/household name Photography. Which is not what I mean.

More Bohemian style of photography. You know, the kind of cozy, limited, lazy at home type of photography. A bit lame, yet technically nicely executed - but I could do better... Or not. I don't know.

In a world of...

vast digital image consumption, i sometimes don't even know any longer what is considered to be good, and everything that is not. Everything in what humans used to craft and create, seems to be heavily exposed to strong inflation and degradation. Plus that people have been groomed of not seeing much anymore (at the same time looking at millions of images and image impressions/video clips).

It is like a huge desensitization in people "from behind"; loosing the sense of beauty, style and feeling as well better positive tilted emotions (instead of fake induced "positive" emotions). Anything deep appears already too much effort in people, it seems. Try to "capture" their attention for more than 3-4 seconds.

Good luck.

Uh. Strange times.

I never saw that coming in my younger days - even if i had strange "daydreams" or "visions", highly negatively tilted. Kind of like if you dream or see potential images and video scenes which pull out the worst. Filled with degradation. Maybe those visions/daydreams weren't so far off from the future of reality, after all.

I did however push those images away in me, thinking that these were mainly created by a negative mind, projecting too much. Perhaps I was afraid that they contaminate my being too much.

Instead however, I held extremly stubbornly into fooling myself, projecting far too many positive things into people - and then got dissapoined when they... where just human, with a tendency to negative tilted actions. So, i created part of my bad experience myself, by avoiding to see clearer. My fault. It is part of the road to learn in good and tohugh bad.

The whole thing between negative and positive projection vs reality "as it is" and be mindful about it - is a very tricky subject; highly difficult to balance and navigate, I feel.

Fun !

I do have fun experimenting in the periods where the emotions is flowing well, aligned with the technical aspects of creation. I also love that I've gotten a lot more active in close-up and Macro Photography. Nothing super-super sophisticated with insects and stuff... but instead ordinary things seen in daily life, the surround little items my eyes caught.

In the basics, I've always had an eye for taking images of trivial things. Aldo abandoned things people have left behind in the streets, etc.

One does not have to do everything in photography, and super magic in all of it.

TTArtisan 100/2.8 2x Macro lens for GFX

It has already actually arrived on Saturday here in Rågsved.

I didn't fetch it yet because I had only slept 3.5 hours after midnight but suddenly woke up from the most vivid, utmost weird dream sequences (three different themes). After that I couldn't sleep anymore - went up, and stayed awake up until early afternoon. Then i got tired of course, an skipped to fetch the packages.

The Tobacco store is open on Sunday anyway, so it will not really matter when I get it. There is still time to do tests before I start working again on Monday evening.

Contax Carl-Zeiss Sonnar T* 100/3.5 for GFX

It will arrive from Japan via FedEx at my door on Tuesday. It will be really interesting to see if that lens really is so good, like the guy at Swedish Cyberphoto tested it with the Fujifilm GFX 100.

It would be a wonderful complement to my other lenses for the Fujifilm GFX camera [by also being a compact lens].

A complement to the ones I use outdoors; Fujinon GF 30mm ƒ3.5 lens (24mm wideangle), the Tamron SP 45mm ƒ1.8 (35mm light wide angle) and the Mitakon Speedmaster 65mm ƒ1.4 lens (50mm normal lens). The Carl-Zeiss 100mm would become a 80mm "portrait" lens.

The TTArtisan 100/2.8 Macro is a far more specialized lens, and not something i consider like a daily walk around lens for outdoor photography.

What about that one ?!

Strangely, my first Fujifilm GF 23mm ƒ4 lens (18mm ultra wide angle) is the one i almost never really use... (to my surprise). On top, it is a pretty large, bulky lens.

I guess I have not really used it much, because it is extremely wide, and with it mainly an outdoor lens for really large "grande" landscapes and big cityscapes. Which I don't really encounter that often. Until of course I make that happen.

I should do that. Searching for those bigger, wider motives. Well, springtime is coming up, and summer is "around the corner".
