In The Land of The Seeing The Blind Man Gets Knocked About
Posted by Mac in Photography, Usher Syndrome on 31.10.2009
Elm Street
It’s pretty obvious, yes perfectly clear and totaly not-at-all surprising, but being vision and hearing impaired do introduce additional challenges to life. As both of my two readers should be aware of, I’m not exactly the human incarnation of the eagle in terms of optical prowess. I’m medically and judicially blind, yet in practical terms not quite so. An odd kind of juxtaposition with the fact that I’m also very interested in and fascinated by photography and the making and processing of images and graphic work. Clearly, my infatuation with image-making is closely linked with my life’s nemesis, the Usher Syndrome and thus dwindling vision/hearing. Making images is a pretty conscious way of overcompensating for what likely lies in store for me in the future. It’s pretty simple, if I do want to make images, I have to do it now. That also includes seeking venues that I, in the name of comfort, would rather avoid simply because they are not fitting for a person with my condition. Read the rest of this entry »
“..summer has come and passed”
Posted by Mac in Photography, This and That on 19.08.2009
Macro, July 2009
Well, we’re writing August. Another summer blew by and I didn’t get half the things I planned to do, done. I don’t if it’s because the summers are so short in Scandinavia that you never feel like you get around to use them to the max, or if it’s that simple fact that the weather tend to suck that ruin all plans. Ultimately it’s probably just the fact that I’m lazy ;)
I did however not waste the entire summer, I had a couple week-long semi-hollidayish trips, one up north and another one up in the mountains here in southern Norway. I spent some time with friends, had a few laughs, drank some beer and took quite a few images. Most of them crappy as always, luckily just enough keepers to not completely kill off my spirits and enthusiasm! Read the rest of this entry »
The Confessions Of A Blogger
Posted by Mac in Blogging, Photography on 03.06.2009
Duckling in the Royal Castle Park
Well it’s time to face it, or rather publish it. I’m not going to win any prizes for the most frequently updated blog, always pushing interesting posts on recent events. I suspect mindovermadness.org have slid into the “rarely-updated” category it shares with at least 90 per cent of all other blogs. While I seriously love writing and using words, writing is for me, an all-out process, demanding, taxing and time-consuming. Also, since last November my life has been about two things, 1. The missus, and 2. Photography. In fact the only part of this site that really have been more or less frequently updated is the photo galleries. Read the rest of this entry »
Decisive Moments
Posted by Mac in Photography on 02.03.2009
Sunset over Mjøsa, February 2009
Well, it’s hardly any secret that my blogging efforts have been sort of slow lately. Not because I’ve lost interest in blogging, or that I’ve given up this project, it is just that my mind have been very much occupied with the newest addition to my ever growing pile of interests – photography. Since I got my first camera “in modern time”, I’ve been in a surge of intense interest and fascination for the subject of photography. Countless hours have been spent reading books, forums and websites about almost any aspect of this trade and form of art. I’ve done all kinds of experiments and tests in an attempt to understand how cameras work. To see the difference in settings and techniques and to try to comprehend all the variables. There is little doubt that getting into photography has awoken some of the more creative sides of my personality and given me a new meaning and focus in my life. I truly love making images and I don’t want to stop as long as I am able to see the marvels of our world projected through the viewfinder. Read the rest of this entry »
A New Hobby: Photography
Posted by Mac in Photography on 01.12.2008
Over the years I’ve owned a few cameras, or cell phones with camera capabilities. The first one I ever owned was a 35mm auto-focus compact from the mid 90s, later a fairly crappy 2mp Nikon digital compact in the early 2000s. I also played from time to time, with my dads 35mm single-lens reflex camera from an obscure brand which he acquired in Japan in he 70s. In the last few years I’ve owned a number of cell phones with camera, most of them close to useless due to the limited lens and small sensor. I have always had a fascination for photography and pictures, but I’ve never really prioritized getting a “proper” camera, i.e. a SLR or DLSR. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome To Mind Over Madness
Mind Over Madness is the site of the deaf-blind photographer and "who do he think he is" Sindre Falk. It's a pretty personal place where he post and host some pictures and play around with a little web-design and occasionally flaunt his (twisted) opinion on things. He can pretty much guarantee you won't find the meaning of life, the universe and everything here ;)
