Notes from 17th Mar 2004
[posted at 11:00 GMT]    

I was today for a test print in the lab. They print it wrongly. I only realize it when I was back home and compare print with my own print. They didn't print it at 180dpi as I asked they just print A4 paper with resolution which would print whole image to A0 size which is max for they printer. That way print of course looks terrible grainy and unsharp. I payed 10 euro for this A4 test print. I am a bit disappointed as I multiple times asked please print it at prepared resolution do not sharpen and do not modified anything. I will call them and will come back again and try to ask for second test print with no charge. I will see if they agree.

I printed yesterday two prints of photo I made month ago in Stockholm. Flying snow thing with two boys on it. Very strange picture as I was following movement of them the background get moved. But the result of move looks like drawing. So you can see this flying thing as photographed object on pencil or Charcoal drawn background. Nice effect. I promised to send these two prints to Sweden. I hope they will like it. Now only find a time to walk to post office :-)

These are busy days. I wanted to write already couple of times, but always something came in it. I finally take a little break and watch a movie 'The end of Affair' based on book by Graham Greene. Such a nice slow mood movie. I was wondering, after it ends, that these days people doesn't have a time to think, maybe they even do not want to think. All is happening quite fast, like a stream of binary data. You only react, you do not think, you do not feel reasons consequences, meanings, don't you?
