The beauty of photography

Polarbear fact 6# Polar Bear fur is oily and water repellent. The hairs don't mat when wet, allowing the Polar Bears to easily shake free of water and any ice that may form after swimming.
Polarbear site 6# Artic Photo - There are some really beautiful photos of polar bears here! Also check out Norbert Rosing's site mentioned below.

Website I like 6# Anton Corbijn's home page- This is my favorite photographer. His photography is stunning. And he is the regular photographer to my favorite band; Depeche Mode.

Blog I like 6# Gentse Koppen This is one of the many photo blogs I browse from time to time. I love this photographers ability to photograph people in their naturally poses and still be able to capture something special. I love how most people seem completly unaware that they are being photographed. And those who are aware have delightful expressions on their faces.

This is the earliest photograph known to have surived. It is taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, the world's first photographer:


Fact about me 5# I love photography as you might have noticed.. I still dream as being a professional photographer one day. Illness put a stop to my plans to switch from the university to photo school. And I haven't been able to affoard any new cameras after my last one died. But one day... :)

Thing that makes me happy 5# Taking pitcures makes me happy!
Thing I did today: I sorted out some photos. I have tons of pitcures lying around waiting to be put into frames or albums.

Website I like 5# Etsy- the site to buy all kind of handmade things

Blog I like 5# Rarebird finds: Rare Bird Finds Lovely guide to cool items on the net.

Fact about me 4# I love shopping even though I don't get to do so much off it anymore. Illness does tend you keep you housebound and on a budget
Thing that makes me happy 4# Getting stuff in the mail, new things
Thing I did today: Opened a package of rubber stamps I bought.

Back....

So I have been ill for a long time now. My life changed completly since I started this blog. Now that I have refound it so too speak I'll try and update it again. A bit different version though as I don't do much daily anymore due to my illness. Nothing exciting anyway. Although I do find a lot of cool blogs and websites on the internet.
