Dream portraits by Annie Leibovitz: a Disney fairytale

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

A few days ago I came across this stunning set of photos. This photo set is created by Annie Leibovitz and in my opinion it’s a really cool way to create images for (or from) a fairy tale. It’s a strange combination but interesting. I would say it’s a modern classical look :-) . That means it could fit in those old fairy tales but could definitely feature also in a modern version!

Google+ search your world

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Recently Google introduced it’s new kind of social search, Search plus your world. It’s the search you know combined with social results from Google+ (due to the fact Twitter didn’t renew it’s contract and Facebook complained).

What is it?

Of course I can explain to you what this search plus your world is, but that would be like reinventing the wheel. I’m not really the one to do things others already have, so check out the video below (from Google). It will explain how search plus your world works and what it does.

So basically all the results from your network are shown among the normal search results. You can quickly switch back to the standard search mode by the icon on the top right.

Storytelling with your photos, a different story for everyone

This isn’t a normal set of photos you see every day. That made me take a closer look to every one of them. With every photo I saw a different story. I don’t know if this is done intentionality or that the photographer (Helen Warner) made exact plans to capture a story.

Are we getting to spoiled online?

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

This is a follow up post on my post about whining (Let all the whining begin). It came to mind when coming across another “whiner”. I was asking my self the question: why would he go to that great length to start whining about something that isn’t really important to whine about in the first place? Then it struck me. We’re being too spoiled online!
