As part of my new job I’m working with photo software, so I had to learn how to take photos — the best way of course is to take a lot of them and learn from mistakes.

So I have my own flickr account, feel free to browse the contents. I’m trying to upload something each working day. There’s also an RSS feed with the material.

One nice bonus with the images is that I could use them at this web site, and with other projects, too.

This is a little bit like painting, I had to have a small break, but now back to the music-brushes and finish the paintings, or songs. I went through the first part of the 20 minutes of strange psychedelic music I did in April, and re-mixed and arranged parts, and added more tonight. I will work more on thi tomorrow, just needed a break, as the music got more and more strange.

It’s interesting to work with psychedelic music, especially as I don’t take any drugs, not even caffeine-laden drinks, and hardly any medicine (aspirin being one exception). But I believe in the power of a clear mind, rather than having alcohol, drugs and other strange chemicals mess around in the mind, just making the mind drowsy. You could have a psychedelic state of mind without any drugs, whatsoever, it’s a matter of looking at the world, or art, and work with that mind set.
