Bleak images, maybe

Bleak images does not sound particularly inspiring, do they? I guess some might find these a bit depressing. Is it a suitable description? I just felt that I wanted something less colourful & more dramatic. The lighting, colour selection & props, enhances the atmosphere in each image. I’m aware of that everything doesn’t have to be bright & colourful to be perceived as interesting or exciting.

It feels liberating, for my part, to ignore the otherwise ordinary images that I usually choose. You know, you have your style & your preferences which you sometimes unconsiously bases your choices on. A style whom you have a weak heart for. Well, since some friends said I’m very Scandinavian in my taste, I thought I might try to challenge my self. But just so you know, this type of images are not my cup of tea 🙂

Timeless heroes

I cannot claim that I am a collector of classical design icons. I’m not a collector of anything more than the things who has been with us throughout the years & which, by usage, have gained significant personal value over time. These, including memories & occurrences that are connected with the items, that I cherish. I am trying to reduce on possessions, actually, no matter what they might be worth. You can only own so much or use so much, really. All the moves that we have gone through, has helped to reduce the number of things in the household, thanks & praise. In time, it becomes easier to realize what’s really needed & what’s important. Experiences as well as small moments of happiness – that’s what I collect nowadays. One of those experiences as well as moments of happiness, is the beauty of design classics – our timeless heroes.
