As a proud Swede I want to say: “Contratulation Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel on Your Wedding! I hope you will have many great years in front of you.”

As you’ve probably heard Apple’s WWDC 2010 were the day of yesterday in San Fransisco together with over 5200 visitors!
Me, myself didn’t have the opportunity to go there, even if I wanted to. What I did together with millions of other people was to follow some sort of live blogging during the event. I tried to join Ustream.tv because there were some one in the audience who live streamed the entire event, but due to the heavy traffic it was impossible to load up the page and connect to the stream correctly. I was super exited to read and look at pictures (in my case) of what Steve were showing the world up on that stage. I was certain that he would show the new iPhone 4 (yeah, not 4G, HD or any of the other rumors that were floating around on the web), in matter of fact almost the entire keynote which were by the way 2 hours long was about the iPhone 4.

The new sleek design with aluminosilicate glass on both sides and re-engineered hardware, 720p video recording, FaceTime, 5Mpix camera, LED flash, Retina display, Noise cancelling and many other features as well, made the audience loose their breath of excitement.
If you want to dig further into the specifications head over to the iPhone 4 page at Apple’swebsite.
I think the design team and the engineering team have done a great job – *Keep Up The Good Work Guys!*

This is it guys!

The Official announcement of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide PhotoWalk 2010 – July 24th
Head over to WorldWidePhotoWalk.com and register as a PhotoWalk Leader or to a PhotoWalk Group.

GOGOGO!, What are you waiting for!

Tomorrow Scott Kelby are going to reveal something really new, fun, and challenging:

• It’s something we’ll be doing together every month, but each time it will be somewhat different (it’s not the Worldwide Photo Walk, but news on that is coming soon).
• This is something that will help us all expand our photographic skills, our Photoshop skills, our Lightroom Skills, our appreciation of the craft, and our Creativity (though not all at the same time).
• Tomorrow I’ll have a short video with all the details of this first Challenge, and I think you’ll really want to take part. It’s not easy, but I promise it will stretch you in a way that will be an awful lot of fun.
• Plus, it has a great twist that takes it over the top.
• For those of you that have blogs, Twitter or Facebook accounts, might you help me spread the word tomorrow to your fellow photographers? They’ll thank you on Monday (but of course, you get my thanks now).

I’m excited. I hope you will be, too.

This was a quote from Scott’s original post “Are You Ready For a Challange“

Well if you haven’t figured it out yet something amazing will happen soon or should I say in the next months or so.
Worldwide Photo Walk 2010 – Yeah Baby!

I can’t hold it back – I CAN’T WAIT!

If you don’t know what Worldwide Photo Walk is about I’ll tell ya what it’s about!
It’s a social photography event where photographers get together, usually in a downtown area or trendy section of town, to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers.

I’ll keep you guys posted!

Btw – if you go to the category section (the menu bar below the main navigation) and go to “Events” you will see a sub category called “Worldwide Photo Walk”. There you will find everything that is about the WWPW if you missed a post.

Earth Hour – It’s here and we will Join!
Earth Hour is probably the worlds largest event in the human history, where over 1 Billion people around the world will turn their lights off to show that we are ready, we want to help our planet, we want to fight the climate change!

Earth Hour started in 2007 Sydney – Australia. Over 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights of for one hour to make a stand against climate change. Since then the event have grown exponentially. Today with over 1 Billion people turning their lights off gives a clear message that we want to make a change.

It is soon here my friends, yeah I’m talking about Photoshop World 2010! Dude, I wish I had the money to take a plane over to Orlando – Florida and just fill my head with new material from all the awesome speakers (Joe McNally, Scott Kelby, John Paul Caponigro, Dave Cross, Rafael (RC) Concepcion, Matt Kloskowski, Bert Monroy, Moose Peterson, Jack Reznicki, Vincent Versace and many, many more).

This is the most badass/kickass Event ever!

Ok, so listen up my fellow readers.
The event will open it’s gates in about 12 hours, 30 minutes and 00 seconds.
You can buy the tickets at PhotoshopWorld.com

There is one way to enter the event for free and that is to get a free pass. With the free pass you will be able to access all the booths and get to talk to amazing people. But that is not all, there will be also live Expo Theater training sessions, along with free training sessions from the Peachpit Press Theater and a lot of kickass demos from different developers and companies.

Top Ten Reasons why you should attend to Photoshop World 2010
So, don’t sit there and do nothing. Get your butt of the chair and head to Orlando – Florida and enter Photoshop World 2010!

The first time I laid my hands on Photoshop was a long time ago. If I remember correctly it was Photoshop v6.0 and that is a long time ago I can guarantee that my friends.

Adobe and NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) did a one of a kind “Photoshop 20th Anniversary” Event at San Fransisco together with Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski, Dave Cross, RC Concepcion, Matt Corey, Julieanne Kost (from Adobe), Terry White and many more attended the event and did various presentations.
You can see some pictures from Scott Kelbys site. Adobe and NAPP did broadcast the entire event LIVE, but for those who didn’t make it to San Fransisco or attended the LIVE broadcast can see the entire event at the Photoshop 20th Anniversary site.

Before this post is finished I want to share some Photoshop start up screens to all my readers.
Cheers!

was a event at Trafalgar Square in London and yes WAS is the right word for this post. For some strange reason I didn’t hear about this until it was too late to post it on the site as a upcoming event . Well well you can’t know everything in time but hey even if that event was at January 23rd 2010 the problem still remains in Great Britain but in other countries as well.

I’m A Photographer Not A Terrorist! is a organisation to gather people in defence of street photography.
Since 9/11 countries around the world have tighten the leash of what you can and can not do especially street photography. Photographers like kids, tourists, amateur, professional, whether landscape, architectural or street photographers can’t take a picture before a security guard put’s his greasy, slobby hands in front of your lens and can take you into custody, take the camera or forbid you to take photographs on that site and asks you to leave at once.
People have been taken into custody and questioned for some time before they get released with no charges. Many people report that the police and security guards in the UK are miss using the anti-terrorist law.

I’ll quote “Following a series of high profile detentions under s44 of the terrorism act including 7 armed police detaining an award winning architectural photographer in the City of London, the arrest of a press photographer covering campaigning santas at City Airport and the stop and search of a BBC photographer at St Pauls Cathedral and many others.”

I just want to spread this message to all the photographers out there (from children to Pro:s) who haven’t heard of PHNAT (I’m A Photographer Not A Terrorist!) to go to their website and learn more about what you can do to support the photographers rights!

Some people love it, others hate it,  some people call it “The worlds largest iPod”, some people will buy it, some won’t.

Yeah Baby! I’m talking about Apples new tablet the iPad.

At January 27th I and many others (millions of people around the world) tuned in to Apples press event at Yerba Buena Center of The Arts in San Francisco.

When Steve showed the world the iPad my jaw dropped to the ground. In the matter of seconds I said to myself “I need one of those!”
Imagine sitting in the sofa and browse the web, updating the blog, watch movies (when you are on the go).

When Apple launched their first mobile phone the iPhone many people was not happy about that it didn’t support Flash, Copy & Paste, Multitasking, no voice command or Physical keyboard. After a time Apple did fix some of the things I mentioned above (Copy & Paste and Voice Command).
When the iPad was reveled to the world I was stunned to hear that it didn’t support Flash, Multitasking, MacOS X, especially Flash and Multitasking which I’ve wanted since the release of the iPhone.
Shame on you Apple shame on you!

I really what the iPad but I think the wise choice is to wait for the 2nd Gen and hope they will fix Flash and Multitasking support.

The time will tell and the people will tell the World what they think and my ears are open to take that information and process it to a final decision.
