Today we got the first shuffle in the ground!
I’m on my way to Lepsøy. Have a nice weekend.

Quote of the day
“I tried to think about things in my life that were important, and hopefully all of you here, everybody that reads about this, will take that away, as a way to find something positive in it. You can’t take for granted what you have.”
-Todd Heisler after winning the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography-

The DAM Book
I promised you a review of The DAM Book by Peter Krogh. I’ve read it over Eastern and it was the best damn DAM thing I’ve ever read. This book is an absolute must for anyone that takes more than a few thousand digital pictures a year and that intents to keep them around. It answers every single question I’ve been struggling with over the past few years.
It is mainly written for high-volume professionals (100+ frames a day), but a solid workflow is just as essential for a guy like me that cherishes his family snap shots. Being targeted at pro’s the book does assume you own a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (which I do) and being a DAM book, it assumes you are willing to invest in DAM software (which I am). If that is the case, you do want to buy this book. It teaches you everything you need to know about handling your pictures from the minute they come out of your camera, until they are properly archived and backed-up. It’s well written, nicely illustrated and although it handles about technology and software, a lot of the content is timeless. It’s a book you will be browsing through for years to come. Peter even goes out of his way to not offend us Windows users too much. So go and buy this book and read the forums in the mean time.
Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with Adobe or Peter Krogh and don’t make a penny out of this review.
Note: Peter Krogh is associated with Adobe as an alfa-tester. He is also a very fine photographer.

Quote of the day
“Lodging in the world, the body is like a dream,
If one lives in peace, a day can be like a year.
Trying to sleep, I toss and turn on the worn out mat,
And pace around and around
In my tattered monk’s shawl.
The Master suggests I make my bed
Among the wind and bamboo,
And have a drink beside the waters of the rocky spring.
A nod of the head, and all worldly affairs seem wrong.
Laughing at myself,
I understand the wisdom of the Master.”

Kykuit
Driving back from Lepsøy today, I managed to get a decent shot from our house from across the fjord. The green circle marks the house where we live now. The red circle marks the site where we going to build Kykuit.
Below a picture from the archives. The red circle marks the spot from where I took the picture above.

Quote of the day
“Light is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the model herself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends.”
