Whooo, just came back for a quick glance and I realized I had loads of birthday greetings and comments and stuff. Of course, my deviations watch has grown to a number so vast I can't really comprehend it. It's like one of those things that are so huge you will never start them because you feel like you'll never get over them anyway, or even get over a part of them that's big enough so that it'll make a difference, but you still don't feel like just chucking it away, so you'll just let it stay and grow bigger and bigger and..
Yeah.
So thanks to all of you who left comments and birthday wishes and watches and features and favourites (even though most of those were on two photos only, which I found quite odd because they're definitely not my best two) and everything. I feel silly leaving a thank you with each and every one of you individually and frankly, I just don't have the time, but I always do check out the people who check me out, so I guess that's fair?

Quick newsflash: I'm going to the UK next fall to study photography at Kingston, I've been/am/will be busy busy busy and, uh, yes.

Look at my Flickr page? : D

Devious Journal Entry

~luzifer-photos — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 13:11:52 PST

Hai. I never keep my promises when I say I'm back, so for now, let me say that I'm not back. Properly anyway.

I have a peek in here to check on comments and such and I just had a look at all the deviants who added my work to their favourites (always appreciated, although comments are even more appreciated!). I'm scared of the vastness of all the deviations I have yet to look at and so I'm not even going to venture in there until I have enough money to buy me a subscription and a lot of time on my hands.

I'm always uploading work on Flickr, if you're interested. (Yes, you are. Honest.)

Anyway, leave me a message if you're in London in March (re: my latest submission), leave comments, stay groovy, love and peace.

Back! And now in CSS!

~luzifer-photos — Thu, 10 May 2007 06:49:10 PDT

Edit: Does anyone know how I can make the text of my journal properly justified? Because I have it on justified right now and it's not working. I can't stand the centered option but the image above kind of needs to be centered. I'd appreciate it, thanks. :]
What do you think of it anyway? First time playing around with CSS, it's fun. The journal probably won't stay like this for very long though, I change my mind so rapidly, I will have changed it in a few weeks.
Suggestions are welcome.

Watch out world, because I'm back!
For a while, at least. If anyone cares. I'm going to have to buy a subscription now, because I have almost 2000 deviations to look at and I really want to see them all, or at least thumbnails of them all.
I'm thinking about putting some photos here up for prints and using what I get from it to get myself an apartment next fall. I'm dying to move out of here, even though I love my family and all. So if you want prints, tell me which ones you'd like, what you'd be ready to pay and all that jazz. It'd be very much welcomed, and it'd really inspire me to take more photos. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

I'll upload a few new ones since I'm getting back into photography. And stuff.
News of me? I'm graduating from college on the 26th - my birthday! I have two exams left out of three, on the 14th and 15th, so I'm going to start studying tomorrow.

I had a lot of them misc. messages and I just went through them. I did check back on all the deviants on the first two haules or so, but then I realized it'd take forever, since I'd only checked on one third or so, and it'd taken me most of today. And anyway, what really made me a little sad was that there was such a small portion of all the favourites that were actually on some of my recent work. They were all on the same pieces, from my Samara photos, photos of Ella or Haffi. I mean, I like them and all but I really do like my more recent work more. ._.
Ah well, I can't choose what other people like. I just get the feeling they don't even look at my recent work, but eh. What can you do about it? :]

By the way, my flickr account has more photos than this place, so if you're a flickrian, I'd recommend watching that account instead of this one. ;]

Sorry.

~luzifer-photos — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 06:35:33 PST

I give up. I fold. At least until I feel up for the challenge again.

I'll still lurk around here though, especially since my deviationsinbox has reached almost 500 deviations and I would like to see at least most of them. And journals and such. I love your support as always but it's just not giving me any joy anymore.

Bye.

and what do you think about having one page white and the other black? daa. i just realized i intended to swap pages. imagine it.

in other news: I HAVE A MACBOOK! finally.. i love it to tiny pieces
the deviations in my inbox have grown over a hundred. damn. i spend too little time here nowadays.

back to editing anyway. recommend me a song or a band, a movie, book, comic, whatever you think of. please

by the way, i turned down the offer from suicidegirls. i realized they've grown alot more pornographic since the last time i looked at their site, so. yeah.

suicidegirls?

~luzifer-photos — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 14:24:02 PDT

isn't it just typical that when you have nothing to do, noone is online, but when you have lots to do on the computer, everybody starts talking to you. but the person you really want to talk to goes offline.

yesterday i got a message on modelmayhem from the photography coordinator at suicide girls, asking me if i'd be interested in taking photos for them in iceland. i must say i was surprised but kinda flattered. i've always liked the little i've seen of suicidegirls, although i would've been even more flattered if he'd have asked me a year ago but it'll be interesting, i'm actually getting a photography project, which sounds promising, and i also hope to get some attention by being in the school council taking photos

i'm having another photoshoot with the angel tomorrow, out in the nature. he intimidates me. i don't know why.

autumn break started today so school's next on wednesday. yay! working though both saturday and sunday but i'm hoping to be able to take photos on monday and tuesday and hopefully also edit. i might be getting my macbook next week, i've been waiting for it to ship for weeks, damn slowness of big companies all the time!

anyway, better get back to editing, there're too many photos waiting for me

wish me luck! there's no date specified so i have all the time in the world, haha.

i do not want your front page.

~luzifer-photos — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:18:25 PDT

edit: would you please help me decide between angel 2 and angel 1? kthnx.
and wow, now one can add the listening to, reading, watching etc. bit without having a subscription! is that to make up for all the ads and front-page propaganda?
end edit.

dear da.

when i click a link, be it to a deviation, a deviant, my journal or whatever else there is, i do not want to see your front page, but rather whatever i was originally trying to get to.

thank you.

...also, why is deviantart today brought to me by some japanese forum? and if i'm already logged in, do i have to be redirected to ads? do i really need a subscription now if i want to get rid of those? that was one of the things i liked best about da, no huge ass ads

good news:
.i finally bought a flash for my camera!
.i was accepted into the group in school called myrkrahöfðingjar (e: dark lords ). it's a very cool reference to the dark room, that is to say, they are the folks that take photos of what's happening and whatnot in school. which is very cool ^^
.if the model ever takes time to check sunday and see that he's free, i'll be having a photoshoot. i can't promise any takeouts on here though seeing as it's a guy and i'll be tricking him out of his shirt. or well, last time that happened, he didn't want me putting any of it on the internet -_- but, he's beautiful and taking the photos is what matters.
.my mom left town for the weekend which means i can skip gym! i hate it but i kinda do have to lose some weight and she's the one that always makes sure i go

bad news:
.one of my best friends just moved to notlob (bolton for non-monty-python-know-it-alls) for uni T_T
.i don't have anybody to cuddle with, take long walks with and lie in the grass with.
.i have to finish the first part of faust for next wednesday (haven't started) and Sjálfstætt fólk (icelandic, very thick) for friday.

anyway, please look at my latest, just like heaven, and give me some critique. i haven't used the computer to paint on photos in a long while so i want to know how you think i did >.<

cleared up. + 100 pic challenge

Deviant ~luzifer-photos logout | 50 messages |

god i had to. the deviations were almost up to 1500 and i couldn't handle it. i'll be going down the list of the people i watch and checking their galleries.

i've had my first photos developed from the holga camera. there was a light leak on the first film so there were only like 5 photos and only one turned out really good. the others were okay i guess. i'm going to get the second film tomorrow.

the studio will soon be finished and i'll be taking test shoots with my brother to practice. i'm hoping to have a photoshoot with haffi soon enough also.
i had a shoot the other day with a very beautiful slovak boy but sadly, he doesn't want his photos on the internet. if you're awfully curious though, which i doubt you'll be, you can contact me for a preview of him.

i've been going through a nice period now although i've had some serious downs when i came back to school and realized she's still there. fortunately, we don't have classes together but it's kinda hard having her there and not being able to have her.

i need a new flash on my camera. really.

wish me luck! there's no date specified so i have all the time in the world, haha.

together we're invincible.

~luzifer-photos — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 08:26:43 PDT

it's so hoooot outside! i'm sitting outside the house with the laptop, editing yesterday's photos (which turned out awesome by the way) and i'm melting down. well i have two liters of coke to chill me down and i could always walk to the ice cream store, har har.

yesterday we did leave a little later than planned so we didn't get so many photos, the shadows were getting long, it was somewhat cloudy, getting cold and tanja (the model) didn't have that many clothes on if she catches a cold she can blame the weather forecasters, they said it'd be sunny! >.<
anyway, tanja's sister, ~Sheryvia came with us and i probably couldn't have done it without her! she was so great, she did all the makeup and hair and such, she held the reflector so it wouldn't blow away (haha) and she gave us tips, ideas, blew some daffodils over tanja (although i'm not sure how well it sees in the photos) and and and everything. so kudos to ~Sheryvia, much love, hugs, kisses, whatever
we were going to go again today since the weather is quite amazing, hardly a cloud to see, but tanja is feeling a little sick and she hurt her foot while jumping for the photos. we might go later today though, i hope she'll be okay *crosses fingers*

i bought the new muse album, black holes and revelations the other day. it is fucking amazing. if you haven't already, go buy it. now. it's just, wow. wow.

okay, back to editing >.<

holgaholgaholgaholga edit.

~luzifer-photos — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 07:08:31 PDT

ohmigosh! i have a holga!

i luuuurve it! if you don't know what holga is, check this and be enlightened. i have my first film roll in it right now (colour) and i can't wait to see what comes out of it! i'm actually thinking about buying this polaroid box thingie that i can put on it and use a polaroid film. that way i could see the photos right away.. that's the worst thing about film, you know, having to wait. but it's also the best

if you haven't already, you should check out =coxi's journals. he has alot of good points there.

i've been feeling okay myself. i've been working for the past few weeks, i like my work alot. i'm working on a project with three others that's about making it easier for blind people to go to restaurants and cafés. it's a great project, we're doing pretty well, it's easy and the kids are great! so yeah, i consider myself lucky work-wise

ATH!
ef þið eruð eins og ég og margir aðrir og viljið stöðva uppbyggingu álvera á íslandi, farið þá á íslandsvinir.org og skrifið undir áskorunina. formaður alcoa á íslandi hefur þegar sagt að ef 80% þjóðarinnar vilji hann í burtu þá muni hann fara. söfnum um 150.000 undirskriftum og sjáum hvort hann muni standa við stóru orðin!!

dum-dum-dum. i'm lazy.

edit: photoshoot with lovely tanja today in the icelandic nature! cannot promise how long it'll take to finish editing all but will hurry as much as i can, mkay? also, will probably post alot more on flickr. yay! so uh have a fun weekend y'all

birthday and new equipment.

~luzifer-photos — Thu, 25 May 2006 15:03:21 PDT

ok so i usually don't brag about my birthday but since tomorrow doesn't seem to be going to turn out that very interesting, plus i'm turning 18, which means i'm legal, i'm going to brag. yes, tomorrow, i will become an independent grown up who can buy tobacco and.. uhh. vote, yeah. which is what i'll be doing on saturday. voting that is, i doubt i'll use the tobacco-buying-license until i'm a grandma.
so, news! i got a job working with blind kids, but it doesn't start until 12th of june, so i have nothing to do until then. my mom wants me to get a job and i really could use the money, although i wouldn't get very much, and of course, something to do in the daytime. not that i'd have any problem with taking photos, reading all the articles on wikipedia, play solitaire and reading/writing fanfiction all day but that won't get me any money and since i already owe my mom for the repairing of my camera but ~Mephisarisa is also in london right now and i asked her to buy me an ipod, so, uh, yeah. i kinda need money.
anyway! i also went and picked up my lighting equipment last night! ('finally!' i almost hear you saying) so now i have real photography studio lighting, and i put it up today with my brother (who was immensely helpful). he was also my test rat, and the outcome can be seen here. i know the background is really crumpled, i should've ironed it but, seeing as i've never ironed anything before and neither one of my parents were home to help me, i decided against it. otherwise we'd probably have had the rubble of our once-house as a background.
the lights were great to use, i also tested a reflector and an umbrella. (got three lights, tripods for them all, one umbrella, lots of reflectors, everything for it and at least five filters for Ikr. 35.000 which is.. something like 375 euros). we took loads of other photos, i'll be putting them on flickr next month (i've used up all my storage space for this month haha!), i'll let you guys know when. also i have a few photos there which i haven't submitted on da. check it out.
that's about it for now i think. hope you all have a great weekend and summer and all that jazz, keep critiquing on my photos pleeease i like getting critique in hopes that i'll get better, and enjoy the androgyny of my brother : )

fillit!

~luzifer-photos — Wed, 17 May 2006 05:28:29 PDT

okay. this is pretty much just a filler journal since the summer serie was taking a bit too much space and i was getting tired of it.

i've been feeding my addiction to myspace and flickr these last few days. also i've been spending my time thinking about that girl. she's driving me crazy, although it's probably more just me making her drive me crazy without her doing anything. which is just the problem. i'm such a wuss i can't just go up to her and talk or do something or another. i suck -_-

anyway, i have been uploading a bunch of photos on flickr that i haven't ever uploaded here so do take a look. i've also been working on my space. it's lame and i love it ^__^ school's over and i still haven't found a job. i'm worried about that actually.. i've been calling this guy at hitt húsið (an information center for young people) that is head at the handicapped department because i'd love to work with deaf kids, but he hasn't called me back yet. okay i've called twice but he said he would call back last thursday so isn't it just reasonable for me to think he might be avoiding me? O.o

i'm going to try to work hard on photoshooting this summer. i've finally paid for my lighting equipment and i'll be picking it up soon, and my dad's building a new garage which will be lots bigger than the old one and it's highly probable that i'll get a studio there and my brother'll get his band rehearsing place. which is pretty cool.

ooooh and i just wrote my first song ever! it's way cool, inspired by sinead o'connor and V. so. there! ...

so.. err.. uhm.. yeah. pretty much. hope you're all having the best time of your lifes out there. you might only get one.

edit: i got a job!!! the guy from hitt húsið finally called back. they didn't have anything for working with deaf kids but i'll be helping blind youngs with a project they'll be working on! wooo!

photo serie of summer.

Mood: new dress
Listening to: do as infinity - raven
Reading: i, lucifer by glen duncan

yesterday was without doubt the greatest day of the year so far. me, lísa, halla and miriam met downtown, fed the ducks, greeted the sun and let it warm our skin, went to a café and talked and played for hours with bubbles, frisbee and a bouncing ball.

yeah you can click all those to see a bigger version and by the way, there might be a few photos on flickr that you haven't seen so do check them out if you have the time and patience and everything that you need. and the girl in the leather jacket is me, halla took those.

icelanders celebrate the first day of summer tomorrow (silly, it's still april and pretty cold outside) and i'm hoping we'll do something like this again tomorrow - although the weather forecast is not very optimistic.. anyway.
happy summer everyone!

oh by the way, you do need to check these thumbs here and give the owners the love they deserve!

style, v and real thumbs.

~luzifer-photos — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 16:41:44 PDT

my style and taste is changing along with my mood. i'm getting into more raw photos. my most recent submissions are a good example of this i think.

you seen v for vendetta yet? if not, go and buy a ticket right now. order, not a suggestion.

and now, for the first time (i think)... feature with thumbs!
these are a bit of how i feel right now.

these are a bit of how i want to be feeling.

A new avatar. I was feeling sick every time I looked at the other one. This one feels a bit better.

I feel like throwing all of my gallery out. I don't like it.
(and no, this is not a call for praise. my opinion values way more than yours so even if you like it, I probably never will.)

Shit. Cunt. Fuck. Love.

Mood: lazy.
Listening to: múm - zero gravity
Reading: hp and the half blood prince

Since I got a subscription from the kind *Vegvisir I decided to put up thumbs to the photo serie I linked you to a while ago.

So, uhm, here you are I guess ^^

E-motion-al.

~luzifer-photos — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 11:45:47 PST

Sometimes I get so full of life I feel like my heart is bursting and I feel one with nature. I can feel the emotions of the snow and the trees, the wind, ground and skies.
I was walking downtown and I felt so unbelievably happy. I was smiling the whole time, spinning in circles, listening to beautiful music. A woman smiled back at me and it filled me with joy.
And suddenly for no reason at all I'm at the bottom point. How is it possible to play the whole scale of emotions, just like that?
Sometimes I only wish I could understand myself.

IN OTHER NEWS.

Japanese day today at the icelandic uni. It was fuuuuun! I want to go to japaaaaan! *cries*
I realized sushi is actually rather good! I'm going to taste it again sometime soon : )
There are so many things I want to do, I want to make. Draw, paint, take photos, write.. I'm seeing inspiration everywhere but when I've got the paper/camera/pen in my hand, I just go .. blank. Completely. I got some steam off by making a spell for a friend of my mom's. And other activities.
*coughs loudly*
I'm also hoping to get a chance of dancing tonight, going to a party but I don't know how much dancing will be going on. If I drank alcohol I'd probably get pissed tonight, scream at people, cry and then pass out. Luckily for other people, I don't get pissed ; )

I've been deleting some more of the old photos from my gallery. Never thought I could feel so good about throwing something away. Usually I never throw anything away, it's terrible; my room's full of all kinds of junk I'll never use for anything ever again : P

This is probably the most personal journal entry I've ever written on DA. And dinner's ready. Sayonara!

Fiddlers Green!

~luzifer-photos — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 06:39:33 PST

I'm absolutely positive that my magic-teacher is Fiddler's Green himself! IT'S GILBERT! He looks like him, he talks like you'd imagine Gilbert talking (except for the tiny fact that he doesn't say 'ho-hum' all the time).. he drifts off in the middle of sentences, he's got that 'nice-uncle-you-rarely-see-but-he-always-hugs-you-when-you-do' air about him, he dresses like Gilbert even. Plus, his voice makes me feel like I just woke up and I'm always incredibly tired in his class, even though I really love the subject.
I want to ask him if he was a place in a dream but it'd sound too weird. He's got the coolest beard ever. I feel good.
Rice. Yum.
Rice you have to eat either with your hands or chopsticks. Otherwise it's just not the same.

New journal entry!

~luzifer-photos — Mon, 09 Jan 2006 05:58:39 PST

I was getting quite sick of the old journal staying on the front page for so long. So here's a new one! It won't be very interesting, like most of my journals.

School's just started again. It's exciting! I'm learning Latin and sign language for the first time, and also there's an Icelandic course about magic. Then there're two more normal courses, german (my last course! Yippee!) and an Icelandic course. Also I just started learning japanese on the internet in my christmas vacation. I'm hoping to do better with the japanese than the gaelic. I started that when I came home from scotland, bought a book called 'Gaelic is FUN!' for beginners and a dictionary. I remember one word.
So yeah I'm doing better with japanese, I'm getting into the fourth lesson now. It'd be so much easier if I had someone to ask all the questions I have about it, but I don't want to spam the message board : P

Anyway. I might not take new photos in a while. I took a few photos of Atli before christmas, but I wasn't really happy with them, in the least. Actually I thought they kinda sucked, most of them, there was only one I was kinda happy with.
That made me so depressed that I'm going to start drawing again! So yeah, don't expect many new photos but I do have loads of old photos I can upload! So you will be noticing me! *cackles*
I've already uploaded a few from the Farao Islands. I was there before school started last fall -_-
And I have a good excuse for posting them so late, really. I lent the photoshop program cd to a friend of mine and her brother threw away the code >.< and the old computer got formatted and now I can't get my photoshop agaaaaain *cries a bit*
I just uploaded GIMP though from the internet and I think I can get used to that. Oh by the way, if anyone knows it (of all the people that read this journal) can you please tell me how to add a border to the photos? I think many of those could be better with a border.

So, no new photos on their way. OLD photos on their way! : D
Oh yeah by the way, I got my camera back. I had to pay looooooads for it, I still have to pay half of it and I'm almost broke >.< (= pity me stiiiiill!)

So yay. I was getting quite frustrated having Halla on the front page for so long. I wasn't really happy with those photos. I'll probably upload them again with a bit of editing though..

OKAY JOURNAL ENTRY ENDING NOW FOR REAL.
Bye (<-theonlyemoticoninthisentryonpurpose)

Copenhagen?

~luzifer-photos — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 07:26:34 PDT

It so appears that I'm going to Copenhagen next thursday. My mom just called to tell me about this spectacular offer. I just hope I'll have my camera back by then. They've been waiting for the part for over a month now? That's not right..

Edit: Each and every one of you please recommend a good song to me. Can be more than one actually. I want to develope a better music taste, but I don't have a music-downloading program so I don't know how to look. So, I'm going to download one just to download a bunch of songs, burn them to a cd and then delete it. Because the computer's full of photos already, if I add too many songs and programs it'll probably explode.

If those damn bastards don't call me today to tell me my camera's ready I'll go there, scream at them, call them bad names and not be very nice like the nice little girl I usually am. And then they will have to give me my camera back for much less money than it should cost and it'll serve them good. Bastards. Not that I can afford it anyway...

Copenhagen. Yes. It'll suck if I don't get my camera. Although I wish I could just enjoy it without my camera. And sometimes I wish I never got addicted to my camera because it holds me back so much.

Tomorrow I'm going to a test. From one of the Icelandic sagas, Brennu-Njáls saga. I haven't finished it yet, although I don't have much left. I'm out of practice, reading so much at the same time. My mind has been everywhere else but in my head this past week.

And the darlings ~sunza and ~Sheryvia are going to interview me today! They're making a project in some art class and they picked me to interview! I'm honoured, really I am. I always get so jiggly inside when someone says they like my photos

I really really really really like my polaroid. Did I tell you already his name is Ezekiel? I like him. I just got all my polaroids together and am currently hanging them up on the side of my closet, above my bed. I just need some more rubberthingies to hang it up with :blushing:

And.. as usual, I really really really really really want to take photos!! I think I'm pretty safe that I will get that lighting equipment, paying half of it now and half of it next month (17.500+17.500Ikr. - 1 euro is usually about 85 kronurs, although now it's about 70 I think?). And I'm looooaaaaded with ideas! That's what happens when you don't have your camera for over a month!! Those bastards are threatening my saaaanityyyyy!

Should I sue them for that? O.o

Nah kidding. I don't live in America But seriously, my friend Lísa just pointed out that if it takes so long they should've given me a replacement camera, like the ones you usually get when your car or cell is being fixed. Right?

Newsflash!

~luzifer-photos — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 10:57:04 PDT

Yeah. News.
First off, I'm getting two photos of mine published in a book! I'm very happy. Really, I am.

It was a really really really hard choice, to pick some photos out (I have one opening in the book) but I finally decided on Sea Spirit and a portrait of Haffi. Am I waaaaaay off? Well too late then because I'm about to submit them, finally. It was a hard choice but I am content. And I can't wait for the book to come out! It'll be ready around christmas and well be available in both Icelandic and English. And it's an icelandic photography website, similar to dpc but of course alot smaller and only in icelandic A collection of amateur photographers.

I keep getting afraid my dreams are getting too big. I'm too enthusiastic about this photography career and I'm too obsessed.. and impatient. I so want a big studio with all the things I need and to be able to make a living out of this. Make all the photos I have in my head. I need money, space, lighting equipment (I have *none*) and models. I'm such a perfectionist. Good in a way, but bad in another way.

My camera's been in fixing for some weeks now. Geez. He said he'd call when it was ready but I haven't had one phone call from him yet. Shouldn't that be a reason for getting some discount? Anyway, I'm going to take Alli with me, he's so good at bargaining. So yeah. I'm not going to pay that ridiculous amount of money for this >.<

My boyfriend's thinking about going to work at Kárahnjúkar, which is.. far away.. it sucks. He gets loads of money but it means a long-distant relationship again, even though he always gets some time off so he can come here for a visit. He's got three options; working for 17 days, coming home for 13, working for 2/3 weeks, coming home for one and some other one I can't remember. And.. I don't think I'll be able to make it. But I want him to go because he really really really needs the money.
My work is fine by the way. I work in a supermarket for those who didn't know. I'm working every other weekend, every other monday and every other wednesday although I have to quit the wednesday because of italian lessons.
Yeah, interesting I know.

Oh shit now I'm having second thoughts about these book-photos again... curse it!

By the way, I think I'm becoming seriously obsessed with Death from the Sandman comics. Geez. I love that girl. I seriously do.
*daydreams*

A sad song

~luzifer-photos — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 02:54:22 PDT

Elle avait les yeux clairs et la robe en velours
À côté de sa mère et la famille autour
Elle pase un peu distraite au doux soleil de la fin du jour
La photo n'est pas bonne mais l'on peut y voir
Le bonheur en personne et la douceur d'un soir
Elle aimait la musique surtout et puis Mozart

Comme toi comme toi comme toi comme toi
Comme toi comme toi comme toi comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dort en rêvant à quoi
Comme toi comme toi comme toi comme toi

Elle allait à l'école au village d'en bas
Elle apprenait les livres elle apprenait les lois
Elle chantait les grenouilles et les princesses qui dorment au bois
Elle aimait sa poupée elle aimait ses amis
Surtout Ruth et Anna et surtout Jérémie
Et ils se marieraient un jour peut-être à Varsovie

Comme toi comme toi comme toi comme toi...

Elle s'appelait Sarah elle n'avait pas huit ans
Sa vie c'était douceur rèves et nuages blancs
Mais d'autres gens en avaient décidé autrement
Elle avait tes yeux clairs et elle avait ton âge
C'était une petite fille sans histoires et très sage
Mais elle n'est pas née comme toi ici et maintenant.

Comme toi comme toi comme toi comme toi...

Comme toi by Jean-Jacques Goldman.. the saddest song I've heard in a long while. It's powerful. And I almost cried when I saw the meaning of it. Gosh. Things that happened so long ago, and not even in my lifetime can still touch my heart in a way other things cannot.

Now it's your choice

~luzifer-photos — Sun, 11 Sep 2005 11:17:27 PDT

There are so too many photos I want to submit from my summer. And I've still got two memory cards left.. You'll have to either settle with me submitting waaaaay too many photos, filling up your message box and then maybe deleting them later.. or me just not submitting them and you missing them. It's up to you.

In other news, I think this is just a depression similar to the one I went through one and a half year ago. There's no reason, I just suddenly feel so way down that it's overwhelming. But this time it's different. You've heard of people that hide the fact they're feeling sad by acting really happy, the joker? I feel like I'm doing this, but not just to everyone else, but to me also. It's like.. in the daytime, most of the time at least, I'm joking around, saying funny or stupid things, acting like a goddamned fool.. but it's not the same. Underneath it I feel there's something wrong but I don't know what it is until suddenly (and this usually happens in the evenings, but has happened also during daytime) BOOM! I realize that I'm at my lowest ebb ever.
And this has just been going on for a few days and I went straight down. It didn't grow slowly, just.. all of a sudden. The thought of suicide even creeped into my mind, and that hasn't happened for years. I live a beautiful life, with everything I need and more than that, a good family, a boyfriend I love so very much and amazing friends. And.. I just don't get it.

*sighs* Oh well. That's the way life goes I guess. You have your ups and downs.
By the way, I'm working at a supermarket.. 10-11.. it's nice actually. I get really tired (just did my third shift today) and today was the *worst* because I had horrible period pains and a headache. But I got through it in a pretty good mood so I guess it couldn't've been *that* bad. But I'm usually in a good mood these days. That is, when I'm not far far far down. I'm weird O.o

Anyway, back to submitting! Harharhar! Submitting craaaazy!

edit: Damn it why do my misc. messages show up again and again, and not other comments I deleted? O.o

I'm feeling so damn tired. Of everything. I'm even sure that if I got my camera back now, whole and new, I'd throw it to the floor because I wouldn't really care. I don't think even my boyfriend could cheer me up right now. Chocolate; maybe, although I feeeel the slimy-sugar-layer in my throat down my stomach cause I just ate a chocolate cookie and drank a coke with it.. so I think I'd feel even worse.
I'm to physically and emotionally tired to do yoga, even though it would probably do me good. I want to just.. lie down in a sofa, *alone*, watch some movie and just.. feel sorry for myself or something. Even though there isn't anything wrong. I'm just.. sick of the world. Sick of life. Why can't you take a short vacation from life? Two, three hours where you just stop existing. There's nothing. Not even you. Just.. void.
As a side-effect, I'm in an endless need of hugs. Yeah, I need lots of attention, physical touching and love.
I just read the tarots. I shouldn't have. I interpreted it really negative. Really really really negative. Of course it might have been a misinterpretation. My friend Lísa told me that it probably meant I was becoming stronger in some way. Well, for those who read tarots, the celtic cross, beginning with a reversed two of cups and the tower on top, ending with the hermit? And other people's opinion was strength? I don't know. I interpreted it as really bad.
Gah I'm just ranting.

I's feeling bitter and sad..

~luzifer-photos — Fri, 02 Sep 2005 13:05:47 PDT

I just got the photos from Reykjavík Culture Night back. They didn't come out very well, plus the best one were ruined because I couldn't rewind my film and it got all complicated and stuff.
I feel horrible.
I miss my camera soooo much.. I just got an e-mail saying I couldn't get one job of the two I've already asked for.. I doubt I'll even get an answer from the other one.. I have to start looking harder. I need my camera back. I need my soul back.

Gosh, this just isn't my day. I think I even look horrible, I spent so much time this morning trying to decide what to wear because everything I took out of the closet looked bad (in my opinion) and right now, I hate almost all my clothes. I want to make new ones but to buy material, I'd like to have a job first. Sure, I have around 70.000Ikr. from the summer, and I could afford to fix my camera, aaaand some material for 30-35.000 kronurs, but well.. I wouldn't have anything left then.
And and and and and.. I miss it.. *cries*

edit: I think I'll stop visiting DA until I get my camera fixed. It just makes me feel horrible, I get so inspired and then I get irritated because I can't do anything.. Good news is that I finally got a job..

Gay teens executed

Iran Executes Gay Teenagers
July 21 2005

Two gay teenagers have been publicly executed in Iran for the crime' of homosexuality. One youth was aged 18 and the other was a minor under the age of 18.

The youths were hanged on the Tuesday 19 July 2005 in Edalat (Justice) Square in the city of Mashhad, in north east Iran.

Iran enforces Islamic Sharia law, which dictates the death penalty for gay sex.

Both men admitted to having gay sex but claimed in their defence that most young boys had sex with each other and that they were not aware that homosexuality was punishable by death.

Prior to their execution, the teenagers were held in prison for 14 months and severely beaten with 228 lashes.

Their length of detention suggests that they committed the so-called offences more than a year earlier, when they were possibly around the age of 16.

Ruhollah Rezazadeh, the lawyer of the youngest boy, had appealed that he was too young to be executed and that the court should take into account his tender age.

However, the Supreme Court in Tehran rejected the argument and ordered him to be hanged.

Under the Iranian penal code, girls as young as nine and boys as young as 15 can be hanged.

Three other young gay Iranians are being hunted by the police, but they have gone into hiding and cannot be found. If caught, they will also face execution.

"This is just the latest barbarity by the Islamo-fascists in Iran. The entire country is a gigantic prison, with Islamic rule sustained by detention without trial, torture and state-sanctioned murder, said Peter Tatchell from gay human rights group OutRage!

"According to Iranian human rights campaigners, over 4,000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979.

"Britains Labour government is pursuing friendly relations with this murderous regime, including aid and trade. We urge the international community to treat Iran as a pariah state, break off diplomatic relations, impose trade sanctions and give practical support to the democratic and left opposition inside Iran.

Outrage! are urging people to write to the Iranian Ambassador in protest. You can also sign the online petition.

For those of you who like to scream about politics and injustice (yeah, I'm talking about you) scream about something that actually matters.

sneezes + FUCK

~luzifer-photos — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 11:11:43 PDT

Edit: Okay fuuuuuuck! Why the heck was there only a small part on my watchlist checked for.. well anything?? O.O
Just a small part on the top? FUCK! And I just noticed now.. :/

Gahh I'm sick. I have a cold that feels like it's spreading through my entire body. Doesn't feel that good.
But that means I have some time to go through my message box! I'm down from over 500 to just over 300! Go me!

I'll be submitting quite a lot now since I have the time to go through my photos and stuff. There are so many photos I want to show you! You'll just have to forgive the fact that I want to show them to you all at once

I have a bunch still from Italy, and of course the Farao Islands and Scotland. I'll be submitting them like I have been, that is, not in any order. I also have some photos from when I, Helga María, Kristján (my boyfriend) and Alli (his best friend and my very very good friend too) went to a bit of a trip some time ago. We drove (that is, I drove!) a bit outside the city, to the beautiful molten lava outside Hafnafjörður and down to Reykjanes. We stopped many times on the way and it was great fun. I took some photos for Helga, one of which you can see here and lots of photos of the things we saw and some landscape. Also the pretty photo of me and my boyfriend which now suits as my new ID! It was time for another one and I think this will do for quite some time, because I like it very much ^^

I want to have a photoshoot, my head is filled with ideas, including a killer nurse, suicide, eroticism and so much more. (Btw, those there are three different shoots, I don't know how I could fit a killer nurse with a big needle into an erotic atmosphere..)
I'll probably be unstoppable when school starts. I hope I'll be able to pick up some beautiful people because I know that my school has quite enough of those

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO START!!!
I miss all my friends sooo much, I've been travelling so much this summer I've hardly had time to meet them since I came home And I signed up for some great courses, including a Disney course. I'm hoping for a fun semester *bounces*

The Reykjavík culture night is next saturday. Hopefully I'll be able to get some good shots. I want to expirement both with some photos of different people and personalities, journalistic photography and also photos with a tripod. My brother just got a cool tripod that's easy to carry around from the numerous collection of things my uncle had (he died when I was in Italy). Of course my brother goes and takes all the cool things without even telling me he's going but oh well. I don't care much.
I was going to sign up to work as a photographer for the city, they were searching for photographers for the culture night. I didn't expect to get payed or anything, but I'm dying to make a name for myself, and this might be a good way. But well unfortunately I have to be 18 to do this, and that won't happen until next may. But the man I sent the e-mail to told me he was very impressed with my photos and he'd be keeping track of this site! Yay, go me! (again!)

My goodness my message box is filled with such amazing works of art. I shouldn't be doing this because I'll probably lose myself and end up with a thousand features, but.. here goes!

Oh shit. Just letting you know I'm alive
*stares for a bit at the 503 messages she's got*

And I'm gone again!

I spent two weeks in first Farao Islands, which were BEAUTIFUL, I reccommend going there before summer's over, believe me! It's BEAUTIFUL. Really. And then I went to Scotland. Oy. It was amazing too. I want to live in Cawdor castle.. *cries for a bit*
I'm going camping with my boyfriend! He's outside waiting for me! I've got too many photos and messages to handle! Yaaaay!
Hope you've all been having a great time, I'll write a better journal when I have some *time*

Baci e abbracci!

ZzzzzZZzzzzzZZzzzzz....

~luzifer-photos — Tue, 12 Jul 2005 10:13:32 PDT

I'm thinking about starting to do yoga.
Next beginner's classes start the 8th of august, the day before I get home from Scotland. I'm going to the Farao Islands the 26th and after that to Scotland. Two weeks total.

I'm exhaaaaausted. First day of work was today. Gardening work. I think my vacation was too long. I haven't even had the energy to stand up to walk to the bathroom to take a shower. It just sounds exhausting standing there for so long.

I'm starting to think I'll never be able to get through my message box completely. I have 423 messages now. It's always worse after the weekends, really. So I'll try to get over alot before the weekend. So there you have the reason, if I'm commenting on your works months too late

I'm thinking about going to take a shower right now, then take a bit of a hot bubble bath and then watch a bit of the Desperate Housewives show my mom taped for me while I was away And yeah if you didn't notice I'm back home! So I'll maybe submit a few photos soon. They're all as small as the one I just submitted. So there's no need to hurry for the editing, they don't take up that much space.. *blah*

Yeah. My to-do list has gotten shorter. And I'm going to change it.
I just got my driver's license today! Yay me! So maybe I'll go driving tonight or something..

----------

My to do list:

Practice touching my eyeballs so I can start wearing contact lenses
Start doing yoga
Try being more social and not so shy
Meet more dear friends of mine >.<
Ask someone to buy me a print account
Buy a print account myself if noone offers to buy me one

Geezz.. I had the weirdest nightmare ever. Jenni Tapanila ( ©suzi9mm ) was going to sell a weird car to my boyfriend but instead of my boyfriend going, I went for him to check it out and stuff and Jenni tried to kill me. In self defense, I killed her. Everyone on DA got really really mad O.o

What I want to do

~luzifer-photos — Thu, 30 Jun 2005 10:47:49 PDT

I really really really really really really really want a studio.
I really really really really really really really want to pimp and promote my work, get some studio shots, try to get some work involving me taking photos and selling them.
I really really really really really really really want this.
And yes, this is my desire. I want to become a real photographer, preferably for fashion and advertisements. And to do that, I have to take some really good photos first, for people to see that I'm worth it.
But I'm gettin tired of using the same models, my friends, although I love them, Tanja, Haffi, Atli, Halla... I want something new. I want some pro models. I want some people that are old enough to pose a bit nude, and are able to show expressions, feelings, emotions, on photo.
And I want to have a studio shoot with these people.

I have some ideas in my head. They're there, and they look amaaaazing. But they require: models, beautiful *and* more mature than my friends (sorry guys). And a studio, preferably with lighting, although I've been able to make it without pro lighting to here, and I like natural light.

I am feeling so inspired, by everything. I want to do everything at once, and I'm getting my hopes up too high and getting too excited. Looking at photos here, looking at advertisements, magazines (they have loads of magazines here at school and I also bought a vogue and a marie-claire)..

So I am asking you people, although I'm not going to force you, that when I buy a print account (or when someone gives me one, wink wink, nudge nudge, hint hint) please do support me and help me get closer to my dream. Everything I'll earn from my prints will go into buying things for my studio and things to improve my photos, filters, flashlight, lenses etc.
And yeah I know this is a very emotional and dramatic journal entry. And I'll probably delete it tomorrow because I'm feeling very weird right now. Ah well.

My first feature+edit

~luzifer-photos — Mon, 20 Jun 2005 09:52:01 PDT

Hah. I got my first features (that I know of) in one day. Yup. One for Life can grow... (=kittynn) and one for Pleased (©suzi9mm)
I'm very happy, oh yes I am
What made that even better was the bad way the day started (me getting scolded by my roommate for being unbelievably messy). If the morning's fucked up, the day's fucked up. But this kinda brightened it, so thanks
edit: I just bought new shoes. I'm so happy
They're this kind of ballerina-shoes, but hard, black, with a small ribbon over the.. thing above the toes.. and with kitten heels

A Beautiful Nightmare

~luzifer-photos — Fri, 17 Jun 2005 10:54:14 PDT

I saw millions of faces, bodies and hands
deformed, reformed, me-formed.
I saw the Pope of Rome, I saw the cathedral dome,
I saw the bishop, leading the lamb.

I saw faeries, I saw trolls
I saw monsters, I saw halls
of gold, of silver, of fame.
I saw a world of dreams,
I saw even sport teams
in the ceiling miles above.

It was like my worst nightmare,
It was a beautiful fantasy,
of creatures carved in stone.
It was a dream come true,
I'm telling you,
It was a horrible fantasy.
The most beautiful nightmare.

Inspired by the Frasassi caves, Italy

News from Bologna, Italy

~luzifer-photos — Fri, 03 Jun 2005 12:06:40 PDT

What a day!
It started with me waking up at seven (italian time) when Ingunn (my mom's friend that I'm staying at) and her sister, Thruda, woke up. Thruda was taking the kids to an amusement park and Ingunn had to go to work so I went to the centre alone. Me and Ingunn took the same bus so she told me where to get out and stuff.

Bologna is a beautiful town and I loved walking through it. And I absolutely loooooooove Italian streets and houses
There was a market in the centre, a big one even, and I got a bit carried away there.. spent more than 50 euros on clothes and cosmetics! I spent the beginning of the day on Piazza Neptuno where there is a beautiful fountain with a statue of Neptunus and his ladies, spurting water out of their nipples.
I walked around town between stopping at cafés and buying a drink and resting my feet. I spent the hottest part of the day in the shadow on Piazza Maggiore, reading the hunchback of notre-dame and getting distracted by the lot of people walking by. There was even a very cheery bunch of young adults sitting on the steps, playing guitars and singing
Then, of course, I went to see dei due torri, the two towers, which have become a symbol of Bologna. Then, I got a teenie bit lost, thought I was on another street than I was (I had a map of course) and my cellphone decided the battery was too low to work so I couldn't call Ingunn. So I decided to walk to the place where she works, but even though I was running really late I still stopped at the market! Well it was a really beautiful dress.. and I bought it, of course, I couldn't *not* buy it after running back and forth for an ATM that both worked and wasn't locked inside the bank. Then I had of course missed Ingunn with no way of contacting her in any way since her number was in the address book of my very dead cellphone.
I got some information about where the bus stopped, but then I didn't know where to get out of it! So I got out much too early so I had to walk for thirty minutes to get to Ingunn's place, with my old bag, my camera+bag and the new bag with some stuff in it. And of course the bags with the clothes I bought. And after only five minutes in this heat I'm so unused to, this can become *very* heavy.
When I finally arrived around six o'clock, Ingunn was already worried sick and was seriously thinking about calling the police! But I got home at last and when her husband arrived (he'd been in Florence I think, that's why I could stay last night) we went to friends of theirs I'm going to stay with until sunday, then I leave for Castelraimondo, where the school is. They have a 'Bed&Breakfast'.
I'm back at Ingunn's place now, where I'll dine with her, her sister and the kids, Ingunn's husband and their little Nora. Since the bed&breakfast is in the centre, I'll probably go there again tomorrow although I'll try o get Ingunn to come with me if she's not working

Birthday gift from DA!

~luzifer-photos — Thu, 26 May 2005 01:45:56 PDT

'Happy birthday to meeee, happy birthday to meeee, happy birthday dear Aldaaaaaaa..... Happy birthday to meeeeeee!

Mood: Joyous
Listening to: Birthday song :P
Reading: Just finished a fairytale by my friend
Watching: Best of Monty Python's Flying Circus!

Do you know what day it is today? Yes it's the 26th of may = my birthday! Exactly 17 years ago I was born..

I got a suuuuper-birthday gift from DA - one week subscription! Oh yeah! And do you know what happens in one week? It won't matter that my subscription'll run out because then I'll be sitting in a plane on my way to Bologna, Italy

So I'm haaaaaappy this morning, and it started well.. Well, actually, it started around 6 this morning not so well because I had a nightmare. Two, even, I woke up after the first one and went back to sleep, then I dreamt another one and after that I didn't want to go to sleep again. But I was so tired, I couldn't keep myself awake
But well around 7 this morning I woke up to the sound of my family singing the birthday song They came in with loads of gifts. I didn't get any photography stuff although I'd somewhat expected it, but I did get some very nice stuff. Hörður gave me all the best of Monty Python's Flying Circus , plus a tiny, broken candle, 10kronurs, and a very funny birthday card which involved drawings of a shovel and mud
Arnaldur (my 8 year old brother) gave me two stones, one sodalit (I have one already but it's my favourite stone so it's alright) and another one he couldn't remember the name of but he just loved the pattern in it. I do too, actually. It's very beautiful. He also gave me two drawings by him and he also gave me a lovely necklace with a stone. I can't remember what it's called at the moment and I'm too lazy to go check but he ordered me to wear it in Italy because it is good if you're missing something or someone. So I'm going to wear it at all times
My grandparents gave me a beaaaauuuutiful necklace with a dark-red glass ball. I love the way the light shines through it...
They also gave me a very lovely erm.. thingybob.. can't remember what it's called but you can put it on your shoulders, not a scarf but a bigger, wider thing shaped like a triangle It's beautifully blue and I'm guessing my grandma made it herself, it's not knitted but the other thing I can't remember either what's called.
Then my mom and dad gave me a new phone I really needed one because mine was being an ass all the time. It's a Nokia 6610i. It's alright, although I prefer them matte. My old one was 5210 I think, I really loved that one. But they've stopped producing them now

I got loads of birthday gifts from my friends too, last weekend when I, Halla, Lísa and Miriam threw a birthday party together. It was heaps of fun, with games, pizza and cakes and stuff (it was supposed to be like children's birthday parties ). The gifts included, f.ex. a beautiful beautiful beautiful painting from Lísa. I have to take a pic of it and post it. It's called 'Luzi just before she became happy'. And it's so beautiful and sad and beautiful and.. and... I'll stop. You'll see it sometime soon.
Miriam wrote a story called Fairy Tale - Reloaded, and gave all of us a different version. I finished mine yesterday and it is by far the funniest t...

Randomary question thingie.

1. What is your name?
Alda

Pink

3. What are you listening to right now?
Nothing really.. but if I would be listening to anything it would be 'The Closest Thing to Crazy' with Katie Melua.

4. What are the last 2 digits of your phone number?
00

5. What was the last thing you ate?

6. If you were a crayon what color would you be?

7. How is the weather right now?
It's okay I guess. I mean it's not freezing or anything but it's rather cloudy and a bit windy..

8. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
My driving teacher. I'm going to be taking the test this week! :eek:

9. The first thing you notice about the opposite/same(if your gay) sex?
If I'm talking to the person, it's the personality. And looks of course, always looks. Depends on the person what part I look first at though, my eyes just search for the prettiest part of the person

10. Favorite Food?
Too many. I really like all kinds of pasta, I must say that would probably be my favourite, but it depends on how it's cooked. When my mom cooks it, it's always good

11. Favorite Drink?
Depends on my mood and what I'm eating with it. I'll say yes to Coke anytime though

12. Favorite Alcoholic Drink?
I'm straight edge

13. Favorite place to shop?
Don't know, not one special I think. Of course it depends what I'm going to buy - Betra Líf and Gjafir Jarðar is where I buy magic stuff, energy stones, stuff like that. Clothes.. if I see something pretty I buy it, I don't go to any special store :/

14. Hair color:
Blonde. I have some natural stripes though, just a bit darker than my blonde colour

15. Eye Color:
Blue :/

16. Do you wear contacts?
Nopes.. glasses. My eyes are too sensitive for contacts

17. Top or Bottom?
Bottom..

18. favorite month?
Whatever.. maybe may because it's my birthday month (next thursday - don't forget!! ) and then school's over, but then also august because then school starts again Also I'm a christmas child.. so december is lovely ^^

19. Favorite Fast Food?
Depends on my mood. Pizza is good but I also like the bread thingy where you put all kinds of vegetables in and sometimes meat and stuff.. what's it called in english? Píta in Icelandic..

20. Last Movie you Watched?
Alice in Wonderland (Disney version). I'm still humming 'a very very merry unbirthday to me? to you!'

21. Favorite Day of the Year?
Every single one

22. Are you too shy to ask someone out?
I have no idea - I've never tried it out

23. Summer or Winter?
Summer because it's warm, there's the summer vacation, and everything's beautiful.
Winter because I love the snow, I love Christmas and everything's beautiful.

24. Hugs or Kisses?
Hugs from everyone, kisses from specials

Flee that gets it 24 favourites.. making it the top favourite in my gallery. I just.. don't get it. I don't even like it that much :S

How's everyone doing anyway? I'm studying for geology, been studying on/off since tuesday.. I'm not that very good at it. I chose to study language to get awaaaaay from geology, biochemistry and maths and all that! (Actually, I'm done with math - I never have to take math again! Yeah!) I have to take three courses about geology/biochemistry and something else related to that.. I'm not even sure if these are the right words.. and I'm only on the first -_-
Well, the test is at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, after that, there's the english test on friday next week and then I'm done! Wooooohoo! I still have to take the driving test though, I was thinking about taking the writing part either next week or after the exams.. and the actual driving then either after the exams or next week I have to contact my driving teacher and talk to him about it.. So, I want to get my driving license before I go to Italy (2nd of June I'll be gone, staying in Bologna with my mom's friend until the 6th, then I go to Castelraimondo to study ).

I'm getting enough of everything. I don't know, maybe the journals I've been reading have made such an impact on me, everyone always saying 'everything's the same here on DA, everything's pretty, everything's dark& gothic'.. etc. Maybe I'm just getting enough of studying lol Or maybe it's just my afternoon depression thing. I often seem to get depressed in the afternoon, sometimes really depressed. Maybe it's just the dark, or the loneliness, or just the tired-ness. Bah..

My camera is being repaired. I feel like they took my baby away from me Hopefully I'll get it either tomorrow or monday/tuesday. I've gotten some ideas.
Do you know the feeling that you're just full of inspiration, but it's just the inspiration, none of the ideas. And if you get an idea, you can't seem to figure a way out to get it right. I sometimes get that, like now. I'm urging to do something, take photos, make them have some *meaning* behind them, not just 'pretty photos' but.. I don't have that many ideas for that kind of photography. I guess I am just a 'pretty photos' kind of photographer

I'm eating chocolate. Lots of chocolate. You really need chocolate when you're studying for exams. So how many exams have you got left and what exams? I guess I'm pretty bored... Tomorrow it'll be over

Scholarship!!+eye-candy

~luzifer-photos — Thu, 28 Apr 2005 08:45:15 PDT

Oh wow I'm so happyyyy!! I got the scholarship to go to Italy for a month (4 weeks) to study italian! for me!
I also got the space at the school to go when I really have any time at all.. that's in the beginning of June, the 6th, to the 7th of July. It's in a small town called s. Castelliano (I think the spelling's right, I can never remember it >.<
I'll be home with such a loooaaaad of photos....

----

Talking about photos. I'm thinking about getting my mom to lend me her old film camera to take with me, since I'm getting tired of the digital. All the work that comes with it and all I tried a film camera my friend has the other day, took a few shots and I can't wait for her to have them back so I can take a look at them.

----

I accidentally deleted alot of journals..
Some of them with features I was saving for better time... bah anyway. I cleared out the almost 200 messages I had in my box! Yeah!

----

My mom was in an exam today, she's studying law at the university. I really should get home to celebrate or something with her, unless she's already started studying for the next exam
Talking of which, my exams start next week! Yay! School's aaaaalmost over, then there's summer, my birthday, ITALY... SUMMER! ^^
I love summer...

In Iceland, we celebrate the first summer day, and that was last thursday. School's off, most shops are closed and stuff... it was really nice. I wore a summer-y outfit, white, lovely skirt, a white tank top and my jacket.. and had a white/blue umbrella with me ^^ I like umbrellas.. then in the evening I met my friend and we went to buy icecream and then we sat outside the ice cream store and just rambled on and on, for example about sitting on top of cars saying 'push me, please' like we were sitting in a swing because I was too lazy to go to the playground with her.
I'm getting obsessed with summer. I've been blowing bubbles almost constantly the last few days I love bubbles... *blows bubbles and drifts off into a daydream*

The Motorcycle Diaries+evenmore

~luzifer-photos — Wed, 13 Apr 2005 05:17:08 PDT

I just watched the motorcycle diaries with my dad and my 12 year old (turning 13 thursday) brother. I didn't think it was like.. really special, it's good and all, and beautiful. But still, when the movie was over I felt like just sitting there and watch some more. Watch how he became the Che Guevara the world knows, when he was fighting, the revolution, his death.. everything. I would've been ready to sit there much longer just to watch that.. I wish they'd make a movie of that too..

---

You know what I hate? Not doing the best I can. Especially in photography.
I was taking photos for my nephew in his son's confirmation, well after it, when the big family got together for cakes and stuff. And well.. I don't like a single photo I got there. Maybe my mind was on other things when I was taking them but I know I can do so much better. And it's pissing me off right now, because I'm going over them and editing and stuff, resizing, cropping... etc. They don't show the person's characters, some of them I have to throw away even because they're moved or out of focus or something..
There was this photography contest at school a few weeks ago. Today I was announced that I had won with the best serie of photos. (We were to take eight photos within a week.. with the weirdest concepts O.o) Hooray for me! ^^
But still, I was so mad when I turned them in because.. I know that I could've done soooo much better. And I mean.. even though I won, I'm still pissed. The photos will appear in the yearbook and well.. I want to be able to show my best, especially when I'm getting some kind of publicity out of it.
I'm also pissed because I have to finish the confirmation photos off as soon as I can and since my mom's test at university start soon, I can hardly use the computer unless I'm at school and I can't edit anything there.. and I just took over a hundred portraits the other day of people I know and don't know.. and I was so happy with them, I want to edit them straight away so I can look at them better, see how they really turned out and show them to you good people and know how I really did! But that will have to wait a better time I guess...

---

I'm really starting to want a new camera. I have a Konika Minolta Dimage A2 and well.. maybe it's broken or maybe I just have the settings aaall wrong (wouldn't surprise me really) but I think my photos are almost always very very noisy and grainy and not of good quality, even though I set it to the finest quality in the camera.
But maybe I could get it fixed, it's going to get fixed anyway soon (the 'button' to change the settings has broken off and the screen is really broken, they're ordering stuff now so..), hopefully before I go to Italy.. well anyway, I'll ask them about it.
The thing is though, if it's not broken and I'm not doing anything wrong, then I don't know what to do. I'll spend probably more than half of my summer abroad (6 weeks approx.) and so I won't be able to work that much, and I just got the camera last summer.. so I really can't afford it unless I get some job next winter. And my parents don't really like me working with school and well.. I'm busy enough as it is, I would hardly have time to take photos
I'll just hope that you people will be willing to buy my prints once I get a print account and then that will help

---

I'm always trying to improve my photography. I'm trying to develop 'my' style, because I don't think I really have one. Not that good at least. Could you, if you saw a photo of mine somewhere, point at it and say 'that's definately by Alda!'.. I don't think so. So i'm trying, without trying too much. I think it just sort of.. comes. You shouldn't have to *try* to get a style of your own. Just do what you feel best doing, what you think is good and then develop that. Mix in other things, be creative. Then maybe you end up with something you really really like.
Of course I realize I might have to wait alot longer for this 'style' to be finished. I mean, I only started photography for real late last summer, when I got the camera I have now (I got my first camera the fall of '03, but I didn't take that good photos, not compared to what I've done with this camera)
I'm just a newbie still ^^ And I'm always learning. Now, for example, I know what not to do when taking photos at something like the confirmation. And what I should do.

Advice?+Italy!

~luzifer-photos — Fri, 08 Apr 2005 02:43:51 PDT

I'm getting tired of my photos. I want to do better, and I think I can do better. I'm just too lazy
Just so you know; I'm not looking for comfort or you saying that my work is good. I know it's good. I just want it to be better So that is why I'm asking all of you wonderful people who look at my work to tell me what I can do better with them. Are they boring, lifeless, do they have dull colours, not the right settings, could the composition be better or the model (of course I tell the models what to do so I want you also to tell me what they can do better), is it out of focus or moved, is the lighting bad... etc. Please be honest (although remember; it's supposed to be constructive, so don't be too harsh).

I'm also trying to make my site better. I'm bored of the look and I wish I could get a decent host with lots of space If you want to have a look the link is up there. But I'm changing it right now so it doesn't look that good at all I appreciate any advice though about how to make it better and stuff, and if you know of any free host that you think it's good, it'd be appreciated

And now for some eye candy for you people.. those are beautiful, check them out! ^^

And again; I'm sorry for not having any thumbnails. But since my job is writing and taking photos for a teenage magazing that is published only three times every year (I got only 6.000Icelandic kronurs last time - that's about.. 76 Euros/96 Dollars - yeah I don't think that's very much cause everything in Iceland's pretty expensive)... well at least in the summer I'll get a job although I'll be travelling so much I won't be able to work much.
Oh yeah, by the way! My trip to Italy has been decided. I'll be going to an italian language school (Scuola Dante Alighieri) and I'll be staying in a small town not far from Ancona, in the Marche region called Castelraimondo.
So I'll be there from the 6th/7th of June to the 1st of July. If anyone is interested in meeting (for a photoshoot maybe, or just meet me and show me around) then contact me I'm a bit afraid since it's my first time travelling alone and I won't know anybody :/
I'll also be going to Scotland with my family, but I can't remember when that is.. but I'll let you know as soon as I can

Aprilfools?

29.03.05
I'm not that bad with names, but nicknames I'm terrible with. Really,
it's funny. Almost every single time I add someone to my watchlist and
am then going to go to their name to add their scraps to my watch too,
I always have to check on the 'back'-button to see their pagename. And
still, I only visited their page seconds ago

What's up with DA now? It seems like everyone's acting kinda weird all
of a sudden. Fortunately the most recent discussion is about bad
comments, and too few. That really was needed, I guess everyone was
getting kinda sick of getting only one-word-comments, and so many more
favourites than comments ever. Look at * SubterfugeMalaises's most
recent journal
for a better rant than I could come up with
I'm so afraid of sounding ungrateful by saying this, but do believe
that I appreciate all the favourites and watches. It's just that I'd
appreciate it more if you gave a comment with it, explaining what it
is you like about my work. Most people come here to get better at what
they do, and noone will ever get better in anything if they don't get
some critique. And of course, it has to make some sense. There's no
point in critiquing work by saying things about that are not true. You
should try to be constructive and there are probably a few guides here
on DA about how to give better criticism. If you see that most of your
comments are nothing but adjectives, do read them and try to follow
them. The artists who read them will respect you more and they'll also
like you more for giving constructive criticism.
Some people complain about not commenting because they're not good at
english. But remember; practice makes perfect.. and you will never,
ever get better at anything if you don't practice. Don't expect
you'll get better in english if you never try to write/speak in it.
And, if you ask people to, I'm sure most people on here are ready to
help you, guide you, correct you. Just ask

So now that's over, here are some awsome art I think you should take a
look at

Comment, goddamnit!

~luzifer-photos — Mon, 28 Mar 2005 08:45:30 PST

Wow my photos of Ella has gotten such a feedback! Thank you everyone, all the comments and favourites and watches are so very much appreciated... but what is happening when the M's are 27 and the comments are 10... and 7 of those are reply's to comments made by me?
Are you afraid of commenting or are you just too bored to? Don't misunderstand, I do appreciate the favourites, really, but I'd appreciate comments and/or critiques even more.
I'm no pro, I'm still learning new things about photography and I came here for help, tips, critiques. I want feedback, I want you to tell me what you really think about my work, and that does not only involve what you think is good or what you think is bad.. but both.
I reply to all comments that have some useful critiques, and most of the others, depends on how much time I have. I'm also watching a great amount of people and tend to fill up my watch box and the journals.. so sometimes I don't have time to reply to every comment, although I always send thank-yous to the favourites or watches.
Well, I just wanted to ask, what is it that makes you people fave without commenting? I'd feel bad if I faved some work without commenting, at least I'd post a comment that is just fangirly-praise, but at least that's something. If I wouldn't, I'd feel like I was faveing the work for no reason, like.. just to fave it or something. Tell me why you do, at least on my frontpage or something. It really would be greatly appreciated, even more than the favourite-adding itself. And I do realize I might sound ungrateful but I'm not. Really.

Much love

I'm eating a banana O.O

Errrm.. yeah. I'm busy!!! >.< Hmm there's a quiz tomorrow in sociology (from three chapters, I have to actually study for that) and I have to turn in a five pages essay also in sociology tomorrow and I've just reached the last page.. and I'm out of stuff to write about >.< Plus I have to read it through because I've probably been repeating myself and I've been hurrying through it so I guess it's not that well written. Plus we've started filming our movie (me and my friends) and there's supposed to be a shoot *today*! I'm not in it but I'm doing the make up so I have to be there, plus I'm the assistant filmer? Ah well I'm the only one that'll film apart from the filmer.. so yeah I guess I'll be missed today since I really have to leave early to study and shit.. plus my boyfriend's been feeling kinda low the last few days so I really really really really want to meet him and talk to him and all to try to make him happy but I have to spend some time to study and then when I'm not studying he's doing something or I'm doing something else :/

Bah anyway.. did you like my latest? Hmm I didn't like the text I put with it, I'm trying to come up with something else, but as I said, I can't even find anything to write in my essay so I guess that's more important than DA.. I guess
Have you read my story? I posted it in my scraps.. there are only two chapters and I don't think I'll write any more of it but yeah.. tell me what you think
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2

Now. I should really be getting back to my essay so.. why don't you look at some loooooverly artwork instead? Yes? Okay... we begin with...

Hellooo there! Now tomorrow there's (hopefully!!) another photoshoot with daarling Haffi! (see the most recent pic? that's him )
He just got home from the Netherlands where he was visiting his darling Tom.. he was there for a whole week (I think, at least) and he obviously did enjoy it very much. He also got the chance to buy beauuuuutiful new clothes! And we're going to use them.. that is, if he doesn't demand to take them all off, and I wouldn't be surprised if he would
So you can be looking forward to that
In the meantime, please do look at those beautiful deviations, they truly do deserve a peek-a-boo ^^

My eyes hurt...

Warning: Ramble. Don't read.

~luzifer-photos — Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:59:49 PST

My goodness I'm bored...
I'm reading SINFEST! If you haven't read it.. READ IT! It's hilarious.. it's so funny I sometimes end up lying on the floor laughing..
So anyway... it's rainging a bit outside.. I love listening to the rain, it hasn't rained properly in a while now...
And I miss him.. I miss my boyfriend.. so much.. and he only left a couple of hours ago.. but I still miss him horribly and I wish he was here by my side. Softly kissing my cheek, holding me with his strong but sweet arms, comforting me.. drying my tears, telling me it'd be alright, everything would be alright in the end.. and I wouldn't have to cry anymore.. to listen to the rain in his soft and sweet embrace, that's the only place I really feel safe.. I want his hand to touch my cheek, his lips to touch mine and his voice to talk to me! His warm soft body to lie here next to mine!
But no.. since I'm only sixteen I can't have him with me all the time.. I just wish my parents could understand! I love him, he loves me, our relationship is strong and we'll be together forever.. and please don't comment on this with something like 'you're young, you'll probably find someone else later' because I know I won't. There isn't anybody who could ever dream about being better than him.. he's just perfect for me. And although you may not agree he's perfect, he is for me. And that's all that matters. It doesn't matter if he's not the ideal boyfriend, with a stereotyped look. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a job right now. It doesn't matter, any of it! What matters is that I love him, he loves me, and what could ever matter more?
Gahh I'm a hopeless romantic. And I don't have a clue why I'm writing this.. I'll probably delete it.
But if I had one wish.. it would be for my parents to accept him. Because I think it does matter. Don't all little girls want their parents to feel proud of them? And every little boy as well? They want their parents to accept their ideas, to feel proud of them, to give them a hug and a good compliment for everything they do.
And in the end, I am just a little girl. A scared little girl in a world that's too big for her.
And she wants her parents to feel proud of her.

Featured artist, and my days

~luzifer-photos — Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:12:16 PST

Nooooow... thinking positive and doing alright. At least trying
I've been sick for a few days, still got that cough and my throat is pretty dry all the time, but I think I'm getting better That's good.
I haven't had a real photoshoot in a while and actually, I'd rather do it when I get real ideas (or if somebody asks me to specially) and.. when I can either do them outside or with some really good ligthing. I'm getting tired of my bad lighting.
I love photography and if I could choose I'd be taking photographs all day long! But I want to develop a new style now, and I want my photos to have some meaning. Not just shots of people in weird clothing and positions without any meaning behind it.
But in order to be able to get some really good lighting I need money. And I don't have money. Because in order to get money you have to get a job. Or have really rich parents. My parents are probably above average but well.. I'm not I mean, I get what I need, and my mom just bought me a ticket to EDDIE IZZARD!!!! and I'm probably going to take a course next semester which involves going to Paris over a weekend ^^
So my parents do help me pay that sorts of things. But other things, things I don't really need but really want (except clothing) is my responsibility I guess. Not that I think it's unfair. I just have to wait for my birthday, and that's not too long.
I think the rest of school will be pretty nice now. I mean it's almost march, my youngest brother's birthday's coming up, and that's always so fun ^^ then it's april, easter, my other brother's birthday (he's turning into.. a TEEN! Dooooom over us all!) and then it's may, exams, school over, and MY birthday! ^^ So yeah I think I'm looking at a brighter future. Soon spring will be here....

I watched Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind the other day with my mom. Anyone seen it? I think it's okay. Lol probably Jim Carrey's first serious act Kate Winslet was fine, I think I haven't really seen her since Titanic, and I thought she was good. Her hair was awsome ^^ Interesting idea, the erasing of certain memories. How would you feel if you got to know someone erased the memories of you? And what would make people do that? Don't they know what it could do to them?
And what if someone suddenly told you that the person you just met had played an important role in your life already, a really big role.. but you couldn't remember that person because you'd erased it, without remembering it? Fucking with people's brains isn't smart.

Now there's a featured artist. It's an Icelandic photographer I like very much, his photos are just.. amazing! His photo albums are on his site here, do take a look.
As soon as I figure out how to thumbnail, you'll get to see my favourites of his
And yeah, he's not a deviant, or at least not as far as I know, but still.. he his definately my first featured artist

Not much more to say I think. Still I'm so sure there's something I haven't told you that I was going to.. gah annoying not remembering what it iiiis! Well I'll add it later if I do
edit:Yeah I bored
Well I'm thinking of making a calendar for next year, I've wanted to do a calendar for some time now.. I just don't have any ideas for themes... do you?
I'm also working on ideas for my tarot deck. I have a few, but how will I take a fitting photo of a person for the wheel of fortune? Or a lion or anything that could fit for strength? Well please do contact me if you have any ideas that might fit, and also if you know of any fitting models

And I knew I was forgetting something! So the thing is, I'm probably (it's 90%sure) going to Italy this summer, alone, to study Italian in this kind of summer school. I haven't decided where...

Sickness

~luzifer-photos — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 03:11:39 PST

Goddamnit I'm sick.. I hate being sick. My throat hurts, my eyes are so tired, my energy is at its lowest, I feel like I've just run a marathon just by walking up the stairs.. I have a disgusting taste in my mouth, I have a headache, I can't eat even though I want to, my neck is sooo stiff and my back hurts.. God I hate being sick.
Still, I'm at school. Didn't go yesterday because I was feeling a lot worse then, and also I just had to go to two classes then. Today there are four of them and two of those are longer classes so I'd get more points for not attending.. so.. I kinda had to go today.
And yeah there's this photography contest in school.. I have to take eight photos, and I was supposed to hand them in last friday. I got to finish them this week, and I've only took one yet, although I have all the ideas already... The eight themes are: Cannibal, Where's Waldo, Outlaw, Deja-vu, Sunday, Sidekick, and two more I can't possibly remember... I'll let you know when I do
And I have to go to class...
