We owe the name “Photography” to Sir John Herschel, who first used
the term in 1839, the year the photographic process became public. The
word is derived from the Greek words for light and writing. The innovations
which would lead to the development of photography existed long before
the first photograph. The camera obscura (Latin,literally translating to
“dark room”) had been in existence for at least four hundred years, but
its use was limited to its purpose as an aid to drawing. It was discovered
that if a room was completely darkened, with a single hole in one wall, an
inverted image would be seen on the opposite wall. A person inside of the
room could then trace this image, which was upside-down (simulating the
way that images actually enter our eyes). The earliest record of the uses of
a camera obscura can be found in the writings of Leonardo da Vinci, who
may have used it as an aid to understanding perspective. In the 17th and
18th centuries, a table-top model was developed. By adding a focused
lens and a mirror, it was possible for a person outside of the box to trace
the image which was reflected through it.
Photography
Almost everybody is in one way or another fascinated
by photos and photography. To catch the fragment of a
second every once in a while and immortalize just that
moment is a pretty cool thing.
In the facility at Iduna we can offer you, that are interested in learning more
about photography and how to use different kinds of cameras, flashes and
how to plan and set up an advanced studio shot. Also outdoor photography,
nature action and portrait skills. A course in advanced photography. We
have our very own photo studio with cameras, flashes, dark room and a
couple of computers just for photo retouch.

The word “street dance” is commonly used for the many hip hop dances and funk dance styles that began appearing in the USA in the 1970s, and are still alive and evolving within the hip hop culture of today, such as break dance, popping, Locking (dance), hip hop new style and house dance. These dances are popular on all levels, as a form of exercise, an art form, or for competition, and are today practiced both at dance studios and more freely arranged spaces. Some schools use street dance as a form of physical education.
Unlike many other dance forms, most street dances encourage individuality and originality, and that dancers interpret the existing moves freely and even invent new ones to create a personal style of their own. Improvisation is the heart of most street dances, though choreography is also seen, mostly mixed with improvisation or used for prepared shows.
Generally, a street dance is based on a unique style or feel that are expressed through the dance, usually tied to a certain genre of music. As new moves evolve based on this feel, the dance is under constant development, and if the feel starts to change it might give birth to a completely new dance form.

Artist’s Comments
The Wonderlost series is my artistic interpretation and dark twist on the
numerous characters from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” and “Through
the Looking Glass” stories. The theme is to give the character the look of a
porcelain doll, with very pale bleach white skin and bleached white clothing.
The character were first visualized and conceptualized using Adobe Illustrator and
then executed and painted using Adobe Photoshop. No 3D tools are utilized in
the creation, only airbrushing techniques in Photoshop.

Artist’s Comments
When I started sketching on this piece I couldn’t get Pinoccio the puppet
out of my head. I wanted to make an illustration that should have a
meaning, combine a word with an illustration and give it a special feeling.
So I took a photo of this sketching doll. Then I retouched it, removed all joints and
replaced them with joints made in photoshop to get another look of the puppy,
then I swapped one of the armes to one of my very own. I applied smoke and
shadows to get the right feeling added some strings and the word.

told mouth to mouth by the Nordic people in prehistoric time,
before the Vikings sailed the seas. The stories describes the life
of famous Goods and Goddesses, which ruled the world. There
was one Goddess that was far more beautiful then the others.
She was the custodian of a tree, which apples gave eternal youth.
Her name was Iduna, recognized as the Goddess of eternal youth.
