How to Use video to Document Life
It was such lovely weather this weekend that we did a short hike of 8 kilometers through the woods. I took quite a few photos with my pink compact camera (Ixus 115 HS). It also shoots HD video, something I haven’t been using very much. But with my new fast laptop the movies I have […]
Scanning some quick doodles to play with
I love to doodle, and draw little creatures that I just come up with or have seen somewhere, like these owls. They look so awfully tired, or bored. They were probably born during some meeting. They were drawn with a black ballpoint pen, in my notepad. Then I just thought they were too cute to […]
Thankful thought no 2
Another thankful thought after the first one: I’m thankful that my grandmother is still a part of my life! She is 92 years old and was very ill last year. I went with her in the ambulance to the hospital when she broke her hip at home, and it was a stressful time. Now she […]
Thankful thought

Finding his own Creative Voice
On children and their gift of creativity: And they [the grownups] think that what they are talking about is our gift of a mudpie. But it is more than this. It is ourselves – the place in us that wants to just give, out of love. So when they scold or ignore or dispose of […]
