Monkey killing monkey killing monkey…credits

…its a pleasant 15 degrees here is in oslo…nice and sunny…
had dan and son been here…we would probably be doing some barbecue…and be drinking wine…sadly there are not here…
so here i am at work…
speaking of work…now that the game i am working on, “Age of Conan” is close to being released…i got to have a look the manual…and finally got to see my name in the credits…
its taken me 4.4 years to get here…a published game…
i am a game developer…sadly there are more artist and coder for whom this is just a 9-5 job…people who did not have to struggle…people who take all this for granted…
ah well…i am not in a mood to rant…fuck it…
anyways…4 jobs…4.4 years…moving away from home…moving away from friends…moving away from country…
is it worth it?
totally…
painful but worth it…
i remember those days clearly when i spoke to couple of guys at my first job…that i wanted to leave programming and get into game dev…some thought i was mad…some said go for it…
i did not have a job for couple of months…
i wonder what my family thought…especially my dad…see dad…i made it…
its all about how much you are willing to sacrifice…how much you want it…
its not about what you can do…its about what you want to do…
its about doing what you love and loving what you do
and now, a new beginning…back to the drawing board…a clean slate…
and some frames of time caught on a sensor…
street outside my house…there some colored glass on the windows along the stairs…
shooting at 1.4 can distort reality…yes thats the moon
…had a nice debate about gear…how you dont need good gear to take good images…while i agree that you can take images with average gear…the images will be average…try to make this image with a slow zoom…its not about being expensive…get a 50/1.8…75$!!! its a brilliant lens…but i have a 1.4…why…because i can make a frame like this with a 1.4…and all the frames in this post…i regret not buying a 5D…
so people…either get a nice compact…like son did…and she take amazing images with it…or get a good DSLR…spend that extra $$ and it will be worth it…
this ones for the family…see i am eating fish…its an inside joke
friday beers at work…amazing lighting…got some nice frames
like this…meet stuart…
FINALLY…i managed to make a good frame of Rakel…its a BIG deal…you dont even know…
and also of PIA…
and leif…i told ya…the lighting was perfect…
no beer…just one bottle of cider…and a game of werewolf…
woke up and took another frame…yes…i sleep with the mobile next to me…its more of a clock to me.
