DJ Hero is doing well these days. DJ Hero is a game for Playstation and Xbox (for those not in the playstation-generation). This is a image of some kind of antique old skool equipment.

Lets get to work. I am really excited about doing the challenge Inge talked about yesterday. Its going to be a hard one for sure.

Some of the new features on our blog is our articles section. This is where we talk about everything else regarding photography.

Take cover!

About a week ago we requested your help in creating some photographic assignments, and we got some interesting ideas back. One of our readers, obskur, suggested we'd interpret one of our favorite songs, and make a photo of it. And so today we decided that this would be our first assignment. Next friday, saturday and sunday, we'll each post our interpretation of a song, and you can judge the outcome. The song we'll be working is Bob Dylan's Dignity. In addition to being one of Erik's favorite songs, it has lyrics that kind of made it stand out:

"Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
Dignity never been photographed"

Stay tuned to see what we'll make of it.

Two years!

Frame is celebrating its second birthday today with a new design! In norwegian papers films, records and games often get a rating symbolised by a dice value. We celebrate frame by three times two, and hope it adds up to six. Thank you for following our blog!

Ok, it's no big secret. After three consecutive shots of tiny amounts of snow, there's no big surprise that I'm looking forward to winter. Today I signed up for a technique course in cross country skiing that starts up right after new year, and I can't wait to begin.

Hopefully there will be more snow in the next weeks, so I actually can serve some really snowy shots on this blog.

Help...and win

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:00:01 -0700

First of all a BIG thank you to all of you for visiting our blog.

In a constant battle to create a exciting blog both for our readers and for ourselves.
We need your help to take Frame to the next level. Sometimes it's hard to come up
with something new every day. To quote the famous photographer Zack Arias: What do we have to offer that
hasn't already been served on this massive platter of visual pollution.

To be honest...we have no idea. But a lot of feedback we get from both readers, fellow bloggers
friends and others, is that everyone likes the idea that there are 3 "photographers"
sharing one blog. All 3 have a started to find a style of photography that is
quite different from each other.

So to create something new we have a couple of ideas.
We thought we could create series/themes of photographs based on your ideas.
This is to see how we interpret topics based on your suggestions.

Lets say the theme is shadows. Then each of us has to create one image each that
involves shadows. The possibilities is endless. The topic can be anything really.
A song, a emotion, color, self-portraits (god forbid), you get the idea right?

But we need your help to push us out into uncharted waters. If we got to pick
the topics we would just stick to the stuff we know. And where is the fun in that.
Getting your suggestions makes it 10 times more challenging. And if you have other
cool ideas (besides themes), please do not hesitate to share them.

If you send in a suggestion you will be entering the competition to win a
free print (20 x 30 cm). You can choose any picture you want from our archives.

Leave a comment to submit your suggestion, or send us a mail at mail@framenotincluded.com

The Knife

Winter arrived this weekend, at least in the mountains near our cabin. This knife was lying on the porch, all dressed in white frosty crystals when I woke up on Saturday.
