Welcome

Welcome to Life's Replay, my personal realm for the things that interest me and that I do.

As a general rule, if you want higher resolution images of anything you see, either head over to my Flickr page (linked below the banner and in the right column) or have a look at my photo albums. If you're using Firefox, right click and press 'View Image'.

Enjoy your stay.

Pictures of a harsher place; Cuba, Mexico.

I'd like to show some work by Florakioph Arazolnsky, a photojournalist. The following photos were taken in less fortunate regions of the earth, particularly certain areas of Cuba and Mexico. The last image is a little graphic, my apologies, but it's a strong image and deserves to be shown.

The most beautiful video I have ever seen

 

Alex Roman is Spanish and likes to make things look real using only his computer and his creative talent. I have spent many hours on the internet in my life, I've seen everything from bad kid's drawings to oscar worthy performances on small, secluded websites dedicated to people with an interest in re-enacting the Power Rangers, and nothing quite matches the work of a man living in Madrid.

Roman has created a 12-minute video showing architectural objects from the point of view of a photographer. What may appear boring for many, myself not included, is amazing. It is spectacularly calming, an artistic and sensual look at objects that blend in with nature. I've shown it to people with no interest in anything artistic and the response has always been the same: it needs to be watched again.

What's even more amazing is that it's all computer generated. Nothing has been filmed with a camera, there are no actors. Everything has spawned from the creative mind of a Spaniard.

Please visit his site and watch the video, it's well worth the 12 minutes of your life that you'll invest.

A calm day at the Bodensee

With exams coming up, I do my best to keep up with updates. Here are some shots that I don't think I've uploaded before, from around a month ago. They were taken in Arbon, a nice little town at the Bodensee in Switzerland.

I'm currently also trying to figure out a bordering system that works for all websites, not just this one or Flickr. I'm open for suggestions!

Finland 2009 - My Photography - Part 2

All right, here's the second update. I'm having some trouble uploading but c'est la vie.

This last one isn't really an especially outstanding photograph, but it shows the roads here in Finland, a somewhat different sight than in most climates.

That's all for now, if I manage to capture anything else, I'll upload it here. Until then, thanks for looking.

The Winter of Finland 2009 - My Photography 

Finland has been quite cold recently, quite a lot colder than Switzerland where I usually reside. It's also been busy, meeting up with people I've known for a lot longer than the ones I spend more time with, seeing family, taking photographs. Here's a selection of the photos I've taken, there is more to come so stay tuned.

A bigger update is coming tonight or tomorrow.
