Photon Detector | Nicolai Morrisson

Holga Photos Photon Detector | Nicolai Morrisson pictures

Nicolai Morrisson grew up in upstate New York and in Denmark. As a child, he enjoyed taking stuff apart, talking to himself in different accents, breakdancing, apprenticing in a family restaurant kitchen, and taking pictures of everyday objects like drinking straws and winches.

Never having had much regard for arbitrary rules, he was drawn to punk rock and geek culture, where the strong “think for yourself”, “question everything”, DIY, and freedom of knowledge and information ethics matched his own. His professional life has been a bit art-meets-science, having functioned as a user experience and graphic designer for print and the Web, computer programmer and systems architect, audio engineer, composer, classically-trained pastry chef (the ones who make desserts), and founder of a graphic design/music recording studio and a dot com.

He isn’t convinced that this culture we’ve got going is such a hot idea, but he’s having a good time documenting various parts of it with photon detectors of all kinds, whoring himself out to any imaging device—and anything that can be made into one—that crosses his path.

In addition to photography, he enjoys making and eating ice cream, throat singing, amateur theoretical physics, bacon, and things that are plaid. He dislikes bios and finds writing about himself in the third person a bit creepy.

My name is Martin Andreasen, and I live in small city by the name of Koege, which lays on the eastcoast of Denmark, Scandinavia. I currently live in the northern part of the city with my cat Polly.
My everyday job has nothing to do with photography, so I am a regular photography enthusiast, who shoots for the sheer joy of it.

I post one or more photos every day from places I went, people I met, situations I encountered etc. I have decided to do this as a challenge to myself, and also to evolve as a photographer, since I have to make at least one decent photo a day.

My camera is a Canon EOS-1D, which is Canon’s old flagship model. The camera was announced in 2001 and packs a 4.1Mp CCD-sensor. Although the sensor’s pixel-count is somewhere the half of what a ‘modern’ compact packs, don’t be fooled. It really packs a punch:). I bought mine used in the end of 2005, and began using on this Blog the day after i got it.

My primary lens is the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, which is one of the cheapest lenses in the Canon ‘L’(Luxury) series, made for proffesionals. The lens is very sharp and packs a lot of natural contrast, which is perfect for my use.
I also use the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, which is a very useful in lowlight conditions because of the large aperture. It’s also very handy when creating images with very little depth of field.

Before you run out and spend all your money on expensive photography-equipment, you have to remember, that it’s not the camera or software that makes the photo, but the person who tells it what to do and what to shoot! So learn the basics of aperture, shutter-time, ISO, focal-lengths, composition. Read alot of magazines, books and everything you can get your hands on involving photography…What The Heck by Martin Andreasen

Hildis Privates Photoblog

schloss charlottenburg p1020008 Hildis Privates Photoblog pictures

In this photoblog Thomas Hildmann (Hildi) shows photo glimpses from his day to day life. But the pictures aren’t always connected with the current day. The aim is to draw a picture from the archive (nearly) every day and to comment it. Of course there are execptions to the rule. Every now and then there are pictures taken by Annette (as the photo on the right hand side) or pictures taken by Hildi’s family or friends, that came to his camera quite by accident…hildis privates photoblog
