NORWAY AURORA borealis The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. Auroras that occur in the northern hemisphere are called ‘Aurora Borealis’ or ‘northern lights’ and auroras that occur in the southern hempishere are called ‘Aurora Australis’ or ‘southern lights’. Both Aurora’s can be seen in the northern or southern hemisphere, in an irregularly shaped oval centred over each magnetic pole. Scientists have learned that in most instances northern and southern auroras are mirror-like images that occur at the same time, with similar shapes and colours. Auroral displays can appear in many vivid colours, although green is the most common. Colours such as red, yellow, green, blue and violet are also seen occasionally. The auroras can appear in many forms, from small patches of light that appear out of nowhere to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an incredible glow. Auroras are the result of collisions between gaseous particles (in the Earth’s atmosphere) with charged particles (released from the sun’s atmosphere). Variations in colour are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. The most common aurora colour which is green, is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth. The rarer red auroras are produced by high-altitude oxygen, at heights of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue or purple aurora.

Edvard kristiansen year 2 photography // middlesex univeristy london

http://www.haslien.no/hvor-vi-henter-inspirasjon/

Edvard Kristiansen er en fotograf som studerer ved middlesex universityt i london. Han liker best å fotografere sport bilder og annet relatert materiale. Edvard er på itt andre år og jobber for tiden mye freelance hjem fra norge. Mange fornøyde kunder har henvist seg videre og av dette kommer selvsagt et godt rykte og renome . Selv om vi har ferie i hele juli “ligger vi i trening” som det heter i sportsmiljøene. Vi prøver ut nye ideer med kamera i ferietiden. Det blir også tid til å besøke spesialforetninger for å finne ting vi kan ta med oss i fotograferingen. Av og til får vi spørsmål om hvor vi henter inspirasjon til våre foto. Med inspirasjon tenker vi på det som gir oss stimuli til kreativitet, driv og motivasjon til å arbeide, produsere og skape. Svaret er at kreativitet og motivasjon til å skape kommer i så mange sammenheng – ofte i helt andre sammenhenger enn foran PC-en. Som så mange andre fotografer kikker vi selvsagt på fotoblogger, men når man har gjort dette noen ganger så ser man mye av det samme. Erfaringsmessig opplever vi at inspirasjonen er som best når man kan slå av Pc-en og gjøre noe helt annet. Det å bruke tid i flott natur sammen med famiien gjør at man nærmest bobler over av motivasjon og kreativitet. Stikkord her er; god tid, nærhet, kjærlighet, omtanke, ømhet, latter og god mat. Facebook og fotoblogger bidrar snarere til distanse fra det virtkelige livet. I vår familie har vi i alltid hatt klare kjøreregler for bruk av TV, TV-spill og PC i ferien – da slår vi av all elektronikk det aller meste av tiden. Barna sier det er en god ordning og ut av dette blir det mange gode minner som man tar med seg videre i livet. “Det hjertet er fullt av, taler munnen,” heter det i et gammelt ordtak. Slik er det også med foto; det hjerte er fyllt av, vises i kamera. Etter noen dager hvor vi har gjort alt annet enn å sitte på PC-en bobler det av skaperkraft. Og kanskje klarer vi å formidle nettopp nærhet, kjærlighet og ømhet i fotografiene som inspirasjon fra det “det gode liv”. Møtene med mennesker på staranden, i nærbutikken eller i gata bidrar altså til mer inspirasjon enn noen timer foran PC-en. Dessuten har vi alle tilgang på den samme informasjonen som finnes på internett – dermed blir alt så likt – så det er ikke så stor inspirasjon å hente her lenger. Det å gjøre noe andre har gjort før deg er heller ikke så kreativt.

As one of my last projects of the year i was set the task to produce a magazine cover for a magazine of my choice, but with one of the criteria that i would be shot in the studio. I knew from long before we got the brief that i wanted to shoot for Time Magazine, a magazine i would love to work for in the future. Time magazine is a political magazine all about current affairs. The covers are often of great not so great leaders and business people. This ranges from Obama, Gaddafi, the pope to Mark Zuckerberg, Bill gates and Steve Jobs. Because of these kinds of personalities i knew that i would need to find someone suitable for a time magazine cover. Obviously i couldn’t get either Obama or Gaddafi in front of my camera, so i went for the next best which is our head of the creative department at MDX University, Phil Healey. As you can see from the photos he really suits the cover quite nicely.

Many of the now-familiar political boundaries in Europe and the Middle East still reflect the peace settlements that followed the war. These resulted in a smaller Russia and Germany and wound up the great multinational empires of Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans. New countries appeared on our maps, with names such as Yugoslavia and Iraq. What is harder to pin down and assess are the war’s long-term consequences— political, social and moral. The conflict changed all the countries that took part in it. Governments assumed greater control over society and have never entirely relinquished it. Old regimes collapsed, to be replaced by new political orders. In Russia, czarist autocracy was succeeded by a communist one, with huge consequences for the rest of the century. The scale and destructiveness of the war also raised issues—many of which we still grapple with today—and spread new political ideas. President Wilson talked about national self-determination and making the world safe for democracy. He wanted a League of Nations as the basis for international cooperation. From Russia, Lenin and his Bolsheviks offered a stark alternative: a world without borders or classes. The competing visions helped fuel the Cold War, which ended just 25 years ago. Before 1914, Russia was a backward autocracy but was changing fast. Its growth rate was as high as any of the Asian tigers in the 1960s and 1970s; it was Europe’s major exporter of food grains and, as it industrialized, was importing machinery on a massive scale. Russia also was developing the institutions of civil society, including the rule of law and representative government. Without the war, it might have evolved into a modern democratic state; instead, it got the sudden collapse of the old order and a coup d’état by the Bolsheviks. Soviet communism exacted a dreadful toll on the Russian people and indeed the world—and its remnants are still painfully visible in the corrupt, authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin .

rebeloution http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/08/masked-avengers

In the mid-nineteen-seventies, when Christopher Doyon was a child in rural Maine, he spent hours chatting with strangers on CB radio. His handle was Big Red, for his hair. Transmitters lined the walls of his bedroom, and he persuaded his father to attach two directional antennas to the roof of their house. CB radio was associated primarily with truck drivers, but Doyon and others used it to form the sort of virtual community that later appeared on the Internet, with self-selected nicknames, inside jokes, and an earnest desire to effect change. Doyon’s mother died when he was a child, and he and his younger sister were reared by their father, who they both say was physically abusive. Doyon found solace, and a sense of purpose, in the CB-radio community. He and his friends took turns monitoring the local emergency channel. One friend’s father bought a bubble light and affixed it to the roof of his car; when the boys heard a distress call from a stranded motorist, he’d drive them to the side of the highway. There wasn’t much they could do beyond offering to call 911, but the adventure made them feel heroic. Small and wiry, with a thick New England accent, Doyon was fascinated by “Star Trek” and Isaac Asimov novels. When he saw an ad in Popular Mechanics for a build-your-own personal-computer kit, he asked his grandmother to buy it for him, and he spent months figuring out how to put it together and hook it up to the Internet. Compared with the sparsely populated CB airwaves, online chat rooms were a revelation. “I just click a button, hit this guy’s name, and I’m talking to him,” Doyon recalled recently. “It was just breathtaking.” At the age of fourteen, he ran away from home, and two years later he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, a hub of the emerging computer counterculture. The Tech Model Railroad Club, which had been founded thirty-four years earlier by train hobbyists at M.I.T., had evolved into “hackers”—the first group to popularize the term. Richard Stallman, a computer scientist who worked in M.I.T.’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the time, says that these early hackers were more likely to pass around copies of “Gödel, Escher, Bach” than to incite technological warfare. “We didn’t have tenets,” Stallman said. “It wasn’t a movement. It was just a thing that people did to impress each other.” Some of their “hacks” were fun (coding video games); others were functional (improving computer-processing speeds); and some were pranks that took place in the real world.

Blast magazine War Edition - The God of sport and blood.

the god of sport and blood A fact not generally known in England, Is that the Kaiser, dreams about is the Primeval Jungle, twelve colours and a long before he entered into war with Great Britain, had thousand forms. The only thing that the average man has declared merciless war on Cubism and Expressionism. brought away from his primitivseta ties admiration of ferocity. Museum directors, suspected of Cubist Ieanings, were removed The little photographic god whose yellow orb pours out light from their posts. Exhibitions that gave shelter to Pablo at the upper end of the Cinema Chapel-and as he gazes scenes Picasso or even Signac, were traitorous institutions. of intense vulgarity and foolishness stream forth one after the other, as though they were his thoughts-this god is the civilized monkey’s god. His worshippers sit in smoky silence beneath him. And really,-as I have often insisted-this modern Jungle is not without its beauty (what do you think of 21st Street, or the town of Elberfeld?) and has very little that is civilized about it. It is at present, too, replete with a quaint and very scientific ferocity, I expect among his orders to his troops is one to spare no Cubist prisoners, wounded or otherwise.”-I am not implying that this should be a bond of sympathy between the British Nation and Cubists or Vorticists. I only mention it as an interesting fact. This good Emperor smells the Divine, the Sober and Sheet- Iron puritanism underneath these art-manifestations, and he feels his trade would suffer. What would happen to me, he thinks, if all that chilly severity, and gay and icy violence, got the upper hand ; Sport and blood are inseparable, or Sport without blood is anaemic. Sport and blood again are the rich manure all our vitality battens on.

"Na ! We'll nip that in the bud !" All the fun of Mr. Bernard Shaw’s plays, as an instance although he wishes war away with a disgust not sham (as he considers with a little reason that his plays should definitely have taken its place) are based on sport and blood. 08 manifesto/blast war edition
