I got a tumblr

My first post in twenty-ten! I really hope everyone had a blast last night. It was actually one of the most relaxing NYEs I’ve ever had. Had a lot of champagne, played a lot of cards, took a lot of photos. I’m jealous of whoever had a midnight kiss 🙂 BTW these are some decollages I’ve been working on for art. I’m going to make a couple more to choose from, and then paint from with with oils.

On another note, I’ve finally decided to get a Tumblr! I’ve only had it for a day, but it feels so right. I’m just going to be posting a bunch of pretty pictures I find around my folders. Follow me if you have tumblr? 🙂

Artsy duo

Roman Protsyuk and his girlfriend Tanya Shcheglova are an amazingly artistically talented couple from Ukraine. They make the most creative, stylish and artsy tourist photos together; they model for each other. These pictures were all taken during their travels to Paris, Vienna, Venice and the Biennale there, which I also attended a couple months ago. But the pictures I took are no where near as creative and beautiful as theirs!

Arvida

I’m back from my snowboarding trip! Tons of snow, hot swedish snowboard teachers, unhealthy and yummy lunches on top of the mountain, hot chocolate with whipped cream, gossip with the girls, poker with the guys…It was a blast!

Berlin Fashionweek t-shirt, Zara cardigan, H&M pants, Nike sneakers

The last picture is a portrait of Arvida Bystrom and her friend. The leopard-print took me ages! I’m not sure if I like this one. It’s lacking something – maybe it needs more flashy colors? Some more outlining?
I hope everyone had an awesome christmas!

Magic

I wish I had the power to stop time. Not turning it back; just pausing it. Then I could have more time to think before I speak, to absorb an amazing moment better, to extend a magical second. I’d be able to appreciate everything more, to see everything clearer.

If you had a choice, what magical powers would you have?
