Wrong is not always bad...

I was in the photo store the other day because I wanted to look at some cheap flashes that I had seen on the web, and I wanted to see them for my self. I dident remember the name of the flashes so I said I wanted to look at thos cheap flashes you sell. The store person took me over to the flash and lightning part of the store. I tought they looked good and stable for the price, so I did what I usaly do, I "impulse buying". When I came home I realize that this is not the flashes that I was supose to look at. This is not flashes at all. This are lights, lights that is on permanently.

But I unpack them anyway because Im to curious to try them out. Now I feel that this is better than what I was going to get. With permanent lights I can move them in to possition and get the light exactly where I want them instead of shoting with flash and adjusting them. So something wrong turned out to be good in the end anyway.

Did a test of my girlfriend and I like the result.

Fotografiska Museet

To day I went to Fotografiska museet (Museum of Photography) here in Stockholm. Right now there was a special of Robert Mapplethorpe, but it was not becuase of that I went. This Robert Mapplethorpe photos was not something that I would pay to see, they where boring and I feelt the same about almost all pictures that was in the museum. There was nothing special about the pictures at all. I expect work to be displayed in an museum to be good.

There where pictures from Liu Bolin - The Invisible Man, and thos pictures where fun to watch, but it was nothing special about them. The lightning was not special, the subject was not special, the angles was not special, but there was alot of work put in to the pictures in another way.

But then again why did they display them in a museum? It was no diffrant from body paint that I have seen in alot of diffrant ways.

So the only thing that I got out of to days visit is that I can feel good about my own pictures, because I feel that my own work is alot better than most crap that is hang in a museum.
