I know I should but out there, but I hate running outside in Winter.  It's all the layers you have to put on, followed by the fact that it's still cold once you get out there and probably dark (because it's Sweden).  This means during winter my running is relegated to the treadmill where I have a maximum boredom threshold of 30 mins until I have to get off and do something else.

I wanted to see what would happen if I multi-exposed a shot that was out of focus, then overlaid it with one that was in focus. Stupidly, when I first had this idea I'd forgotten my tripod because you really need to overlay them perfectly to get the best effect.

I think the effect turned out kinda cool.

I've been catching up with scanning my film negatives from last summer and caught this rare moment when it was both sunny and raining at the same time.

Maybe it reminds me of growing up when I used to spend all my lunch money on an Album at the start of the week, before living on donuts and iced-fingers for the rest of the school week.

It seems weirder because I don't even have a record player, sold all my CD's a few years back and find all my music these day's on Spotify.

I love shooting film and my best shots over the past year or so have all been analogue rather than digital.  But it can be a pain with canisters of only 36 frames and the scanning that has to be done afterwards.

This week I've been playing around with VSCO Film by Visual Supply company for Apple Aperture with some pictures I recently took with my Leica D-Lux 5.  With only a few clicks I was able to quickly bring some warmth and life to the colours...and with all the changes visible in Aperture's workflow it was easy to adjust them to my own person preference while learning a few new tricks about post processing.

While I don't think VSCO film is going to make me trade in my analogue camera gear for a Full frame D-SLR just yet, and it only recreates the look of films like colour negative films like Portra, Fuji and Ilford and not my beloved Cross-Processed Kodak E100G which was discontinued last year (and currently stockpiling).

But it does make me more eager to use my Digital cameras more often as I can finally get a look I am happier with, without spending hours and hours in front of the computer.

Is it just me, or since flickr updated their app around the time Instagram annoyed everybody by changing their TOC's there seems to be a whole lot more life going on there than there has been for months.

It's been sad to see how Flickr had been left in limbo by Yahoo for years, and as a result has been steadily bleeding to better looking free places for posting and sharing photos (Google+?).  But it's good to see people coming back because they've always been great for setting the rules for how people can use your photos.

I only wish they would hurry up and update their website because I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed since about 2008, while sites like Facebook updates theirs every few months.

Apart from the odd iPhone picture I hadn't taken many pictures during the autumn concentrating on making music and "beats" instead, but two weeks ago I decided to scan the films that had been lying around the house since visiting Berlin for my birthday in September.

I've always had a soft spot for Moleskin Diaries, even though the reality has always been that each time I buy one I use them for about 2 weeks before they go into a draw never to be used again and thrown away during next year's spring clean.

But once again the temptation got the better of me and I bought a Fitness Diary with J in Berlin, which up until now had remained unused.  With it being the new year and we're both feeling very motivated we've decided to start filling it in, and I made my first entry today.

At last night's New Year's Eve party I was asked to put on some music, so through together this impromptu Party Rockin' playlist with my favorite dance tracks of the year and some old favorites.

Until today I also never knew Abba had a Happy New Year, which went on as close to Midnight as possible.

If you didn't know already, Swedish people eat more pizza on New Years Day than any other meal, with Kebab Meat being their favorite topping.

So what better way to finish off the "Biggest Chillout day of the Year", with the nation's favorite.

Since we've been together me and J have a christmas tradition where we watched Love Actually together.

As well as the fore-mentioned Instagram 365 project, here are the other New Year Resolutions I promised myself while sitting at the dinner table last night thinking about what changes I could make for 2013.

• Keep a fitness journal.
• Always stay on the 4th notch on my belt buckle.
• Cook healthier.
• Release a dance record.
• Play a gig with my rock band "Widget"
• Play a dance gig, either solo or with Sound of Pictures.
• Blog more (yes that means here)

It was in 2009 when I first decided to do a 365 project, which was decided after buying a new Leica D-Lux 4 for christmas and sitting on the sofa in a Parisian apartment waiting for my friends to get up on New Years Day. 

I was a big fan of the Korg MS-20 for its gritty bass sounds, but I think I've found my new favorite bass sound on the Korg Polysix, which has just been released for the iPad.

I have to say the thing I'm most looking forward to with the new version of Ableton LIVE is the new Push Controller.

I can never get enough of mince pies over christmas. It's probably to make up for the fact that once Christmas Day is over they completely disappear from the supermarket and you can't find them again until next year.

You can always get a good feel for the locals by reading the requirements to get into the local nightclub.

I knew it had been wet in England before coming home for Christmas, but wasn't quite prepared for exactly how wet it would be. Since we've been back it's rained every day, and although we we're stuck on the runway for 2 hours before leaving Gothenburg, I've been missing the white christmas there.

So I recently heard Kodak is to sell of its film division as it's not profitable enough any more.

With this I only hope whoever buys it decides to bring back Ektachrome E100G, which is absolutely my favorite film ever and starting to get very scarce since it was discontinued a few months ago. :(
