This is my Photo for this weeks theme in our group Fabulös & Korthuggna

I connect breastcancer with my mom, she just been thru hell, and i could have taken a photo of her, but i wanted to try a set design, and well who is better at suporting than Mona Lisa?! I think she is doing a great job.

HOW-TO.
2 shots, one at the set, and one at a stained paper, 2 layers in photoshop, blendmode = overlay. One additional layer, saturation layer with a mask on the Pinkribbon. Thats it. So please visit and bookmark the group, it consists of a group of swedish amateur photographers that does weekly photo themes competitions. Visit Fabulös & Korthuggna

My Grandfather passed away.

morfar-gata

First I need to speak free, this is not a inspiration post, not a review, not a cool gadget, it’s just me, Linus speaking out. My grandfather passed away last Thursday, therefor no posts the last week, there is no inspiration in me right now. This is why it’s hard being a guy writing a blog, I’m not posting “daily outfit photos” nor any shopping tips. I don’t write how much money i spend on shopping, i write about things, objects, people, experiences that inspire me. My grandfather inspired me.

So right now I’m not so comfortable with writing about anything, I will try to write something about my grandfather Jan Opiola, who passed away on the 24th of September 2009, I’m so sorry for not doing this earlier, grandpa.

Your soul is free, your out of your agony, you’ve found your peace.

The Dos Family Photo Competition

WeAreSuperFamous Portrait

This was for the Dos Family Photo Competition. – We love color.

And as you might notice when you click the Image, I’ve finaly got the lightbox to work. So every post, with gallery images will be in the same set. Check out the Tracy Raver Post, and you’ll see it in action.

Just finished my latest design and code work. Winternet.

Just fnished a big project, i’ve re-designed winternet.se (the business that i work for). I’ve started out with a blank paper, and a pencil. This is the finished product, no CMS this is just freehand HTML & CSS. So lately i’ve been of the blogosphere, but thats due to sercomstances just like this. Work is hectic right now and i will try my best to blog a post or two in the evenings. THANK YOU for hanging in there!

I Made Art, use it, break it, funk it & rock it

Happy mothers day!
I made Art, using Illustrator and Photoshop. It’s my first time trying to do something like this (using this technique). The first edition was for my girlfriend Emelies calendar front, this is just for fun.

You can download your own original high-res copy at flickr (use this link), use it, if you do just feel free to mail me photos on where you used it so i can publish them here!

I also want to give you this address, It’s to a friends blog, headbangheartbeat.blogg.se, her name is Annie and she blogs using the language “Svenska” so if you are swede or just want a bad ass blog to read head over to her site.

Now sleep before my Monday rock-tour at work

Check out my big influense and his amazing artwork at www.byhenzel.com – I can never do the great designs that he does, so this is more of a tribute!

Share Spotify Playlists… What do you think?

ENG
I’m working on a automated service, where you without login can attach your spotify HTML link, and name the playlist, tag it with artists, and you can click playlists and tell if you like them or not.

You will also be able to search in terms like, “summer 09 mix” or “Sweden top 100″ or maybe if you like house, you can search for “sweet house mix”

The idea is to get you into new music, if you are a frequent user of Spotify you know that the library is huge and that the problem is that you can’t really see other users playlists, here is a way of sharing those really good playlists.

So I’m in the development stadium now, and this is one of the blueprints that are online, you can find it here (there can be problems viewing in IE 7 and down right now, so for the best view in FF or IE 8, Safari or Opera)

So please give us feedback, just send me an email and let me know your ideas or maybe if you have other things you wish where there to help support the sharing of music. You can also use the comments function here on the blog

SWE
Just nu jobbar jag med en användarstyrd sajt där du utan att logga in kan ladda upp en HTTP länk ifrån Spotify, namnge den, tagga med artister, du har möjlighet att klicka på ett hjärta eller att bara klicka och så sjunker listan i popularitet.

Det kommer att vara möjligt att söka på termer som “sommer mix 09″ eller “sverige top 100″, det kommer vara just det som vi saknar på Spotify, hur man delar med sig av musiken på ett smart sätt.

Hela idén är baserad på att du ska få möjlighet att lyssan på ny musik, som du inte kommit i kontakt med men som du med stor säkerhet gillar. Problemet med Spotify som sådant, är att biblioteket är enormt, men om man inte vet var man ska söka på blir kvaniteten onödig och kvaliteten sjunker, men kan man däremot nå bra musik på ett lätt sätt så blir kvantiteten ovärderlig. (Just nu är det lite problem med IE 7 och lägre så använd gärna en modernare webläsare, IE 8, Firefox, Safari, eller Opera)

Poster & iPhone wallpaper by Linus Ekenstam

So i figured, who is the new president of the united states of america look-a-like? In my manors it’s Abraham Lincoln one of the 44 president that have been inserted in the white house during the battles between red and blue. This is my way of interpreting this election and i don’t mean any harm, just art.

To download the iPhone wallpaper click here and then just save it to your hard drive. Then import it to iPhoto and sync your phone, or just surf over here on your iPhone and save it directly into your photos.

This is The 600 Post and Friday is our 1th Birthday


Photo from a great photographer Chris Beyer

Wow, this has gone fast, actually we celebrate our 1 year birthday on Friday, and we have no idea what we gonna do to celebrate that online. We need to give you readers something that you deserve but can’t really come up with anything. We do have some stuff up our sleeve but not quite done yet, right now I’m trying to figure out where we wanna be in another year, we know have a nice flow of readers, I mean that I’m very happy for all of you that visit daily or just time to time.


This is from the awesome STILLONTHERUN “Takeshi”

I know that there are times when we don’t update that frequent and we are terrible sorry for that, this is a site that we currently don’t make any money on, and we put in a lot of effort in scanning the web and updating it because of the pure joy of writing and sharing. So there are some natural causes to why we sometimes get less active than others. But in a near future we really hope for some change, not just a new president in the US but maybe a boost in readers and some small amount of money flow into the business so we can afford to take some hours of to deliver even better stuff.

There has always been a thought in the back of our heads of creating something bigger than a blog, something where people can participate and evolve together, thru design and architecture, photography, gadgets, life, people and pure happiness. We are a long way from that but we think that if you all enjoy the site and help us to spread the knowledge about the site there can be some change in a not far distant future. Thank you for making this first year of blogging about everything from Shoe Strings to the Burj Dubai a real pleasure, and we hope that all of you will countinue to read and be inspired and help us to spread the word – We Are Super Famous!

Flickr Stream Of An Addict


I just got addicted, worse than ever i mean i love photography but i think I’m on the edge on real addiction. Today i learned some sweet stuff in photoshop, i also bought a new lens for my Nikon D40 (50mm f1.8) i can’t find words for the stokedness in the optics (and in me)

This weekend i also played around with the Nikon Kit Lens, 18-55mm i like it to, but hey you can’t compare it to the fixed optics, and the best part is that the cameras might change over the years but you will always have your Lenses. I borrowed my dads old Nikkor lenses from the 80′s and they preform very well, you have my word. I’ll try to post some images so you can see what over 20 year old lenses are worth.
During the mean time enjoy my NYC miniature and i do daily updates on my Flickr stream I have had my Nikon D40 for a while now and just give me a small hint if you would like me to review it for you, because i would love to do it! Well have a happy morning and enjoy your morning coffee – Over n’ Out
