About this site.......
Started out of curiosity, it's fun to install and test new scripts, I have for a long time searched for a script that could be my tool for organizing my thinking, learning and expressions and prefferably also show it on the web. MT has some of thoose possibilities, more of them than many, but still lack certain basic easy to use features. As adding bookmarks automaticly without having to write urls and stuff. I would have preffered ONE blog with possibilities of subcategories, OR at least I would like all my pictures to be in ONE image folder on the server...now they spread all over. It is a bit too much of build it yourself to be really really good. On the other hand I hate stuff that wont let you think by yourself.
I have declared the whys at every part of the site, that will do for now.
About me?....
I am old for a computor nerd but that I am. I have been a teacher, a darned good teacher and now I am sick because of trying to be even better;-)
I am now rebuilding both myself and my life, my site is called Restart in swedish, And that is what I do right now.
I long for writing books, I love my dog who actually is my absolutely best friend among them who never gainsay you and thoose who never have their own agenda;-)
I live with my garden, I like to build things, and I like reading good books.
Well I do live with my BIG family also, three boys in the later teens... And I have a wonderful husband, who IS my best friend excluded only the categories mentioned above;-)(i e He has an agenda of his own as I do AND we do gainsay each other now and then;-)
About my photos
I allways have had a sense for detail, and a love of beauty. Often the details around me reminds me of some kind of wonder that I feel good about to have around me. The wonder of life, nature, how things are put together. There are some kind of soothing feeling in the remarkable fact that if left alone nature will make all there is as things of the outmost beauty and elegance without cost or even meaning. All things built by mankind that have good quality, are well designed and that will last, and have some kind of beauty allways costs a lot of money or effort. But life in it self holds all thoose qualities to no purpose at all. THAT is a message worth pondering. Life in it self is beauty, and totally void of any other meaning than just living it until it ends;-)
SO... I use my camera to sample thoose wonders I stumble across. It is my way of collecting thoose lovely moments when I feel meaning in the meaningless;-) It helps me survive sometimes and sometimes it makes me full of joy. Joy to the world - there ARE beauty, still!
I have an Olympus C-2100 UZ and I am prepared to use it until someone can prove that I would take better pictures with no more to carry around, with annother camera.
About my copyright...
I see things that I create as expressions/parts of my self. And as the old woman in Endarasha, Kenya, said to me when I asked if I could take a photo of her; (she had astounding looks, like a raisin with smiling eyes and ears that she could put in her pants pockets, if she had had any pants;-)
This is what she said:
-I am too old to be willing to search all over the world for my self when I die...
I would be really proud and happy if you should find somehting in here that you would like to show or use, but I really would like to have the opportunity to decide if I want to let someone use something out of my brain or my hands and I sure would like o know where my things are...even if I am not dying yet;-)
In the side bar there are some links to things I have done on the computor, thats what I do when not reading, weeding, sowing or playing with my dog, building designs and websites...and stuff
