I think the title of this page below and the project fits perfectly: Back to the future

Basically this girl, Irina Werning, loves old photographs (who doesn’t) and she decided to track down the people on all these pictures and then together with them, try to reinact the scenarios as close as possible. This means finding a similar, if not the exact same location, styling their hair and putting on make-up, finding the same clothes, glasses and other accessories.

I think some of these comparisons are extremely closely tied, and very fascinating, as you really CAN see the child behind the grownup.

Seriously, it was about time I got a new iPhone. My old 3G was practically out of order, with approx. 20 seconds touch-response-time (a word I just made up) and only 8GB storage, it was… no fun at all.

Live webshop
So I browsed the web, searching for a new device as well as a suitable subscription, plenty of data (32Mbit download), free SMS/MMS etc. So I finally ended up at 3Mobil Denmark – known for best network, but also for prizes above average. However, I tried their new fancy live-webshop which most of all reminded me of Minority Report and I got a good deal on a package – Friday it should be in my mailbox! With the subscription comes the ability to upgrade at a later time, which means enabling sharing of SIM-card for my iPad  - without extra costs.

This shit works
Anyway, for the first time I’ve experienced fast, efficient and quick customer-service from a mobil company, thanks to their live-webshop concept. This shit actually works and I should keep this a secret, but the next time a have a question (big or small) I won’t hesitate to use this new platform instead of grabbing the phone, typing an e-mail or even visiting their Facebook Page! Actually I had a conversation with a 3Mobil employee on their FB-page, but he was just way too slow to respond, and that’s why I ended up at the live-webshop instead.

New demands for Facebook Page owners?
Does this mean new demands for running and administrating a corporate Facebook Page, I wonder? I know for a fact, that I lost my patience after approx. 10 minutes of silence on Facebook (please notice I wrote to them during regular open hours, not in the middle of the night or something). My point is, I was having a conversation over Facebook, but suddenly they stopped paying attention to our conversation – obviously?! This made me look elsewhere, as I didn’t want to wait… my final question, I should tell you, was whether they could give me some discount, if I bought today. The answer was no.

Visiting the live-webshop I asked the very same question and guess what? They took off a $45 dollars fee

Is it art?

Or is it an easy way to gain attention to your work, by using and portraying homeless people in order to build sympathy etc.? Either way, these pictures are very well taken, I love the contrasts and saturation – B/W rocks!

I remember Distortion 2010 as a good year, great weather, happy people and fantastic music! And this very beautiful video represents just that feeling you got by walking down the streets of Copenhagen – one big party. Check above.

However, last year was out of control, way too many people stuffed into one little area, totally trashed parks and streets, people pissing just about everywhere and generally a heavy, unpleasant mood in the crowd. Also, I was handicapped with a broken foot and crutches, so that kind of put a lit on the entire experience

Wonder if I’ll go this year…
