Hotel mood / 160

Hej friends,

Hotel – just to taste the word, it creates a feeling of happiness inside because it’s mostly associated with holiday, long nice days, relaxing atmosphere, time together with loved ones. But also connected with hard work, long days, late nights, early mornings, meetings, deadlines etc. Almost each word has a positive meaning but can be turned into something that’s less positive, which depends on each persons experience, attitude & mood & situation. It has to do with peoples approach to life, how we look at things, what we have gone through & our different perspective, I assume. And rightly so, of course. As we also carry around a backpack of occurrences, meetings, upbringing, experiences etc. Not to forget our own personality which we have to work with, some more & some less. I believe it’s called development.

But to return to the topic hotel rooms, I’ve focussed mostly on bedrooms for natural reasons. And it’s not real hotel rooms, it’s actually bedrooms with a hotel – feeling. Something you can do at home while or when you are in a hotel mood:)

Point of view / 151

Hej friends,

Time just flies away & I have been so busy the past weeks I hardly remembered my name. That’s life now & then, you just have to go with the flow until you’re back on track … to then take time to look back & ponder over how it went. That’s the beauty of life, when things don’t go according to expectations, but takes a turn sideways & suddenly you’re standing in a new situation & different direction. It’s both exciting & scary as with anything that is alien & unfamiliar.

Well, todays post, came to me through a Bond movie – yes, sorry about that but yes, James Bond. It was with a Swedish translation. I believe that the original tittle is, For your eyes only. That’s not the correct translation but I guess it wouldn’t sound good enough without a flashy titel. Anyway, the Swedish title would be, A deadly point of view. Now, this became a very long introduction to explain how I came up with this theme. Let’s move on before it gets too complicated.

It’s after all quite interesting to look at things from a different point of view, especially if you consider things without taking into account any feelings or prejudices. I wonder what would happen if certain products considered as exclusive, had no logo. Would people really be ready to pay the asked price, if it differs more than 50% between two comparable items. Not knowing can sometimes be crucial to a decision, in a positive way. Occasionally, you might need to take a step back to see the possibilities & therefore be helped to take several steps forward instead … just because you saw things from a different perspective or got a different point of view. This post is actually about a different point of view … on the basis of the lens of a camera, anyway:)
