Markus's post made me think of simmilar portraits. i've chosen those powerful ones, with laughter and joy. i'd be glad if after 50 years they could look at these photos and say: "yeah, that was a good time!"

Hi. Welcome to this lesson in "grallimatik" (grammar).
Today we're gonna talk about the management "in"-words.

But on to 'Exciting' ('Spännande'). This word is so much in use today I just must point it out. Some example uses:
We can be far from sure this will ever happen. But you were at least upbeat about it. And accepted the challenge. So who can blame you?
Another example from the other end:
We can be rather certain this is an impossible project and goal, but the boss won't accept any excuses. And who wants to be the cry baby anyway?

Example of being friend with the bosses:
Worker1 came dangerously close to using the i-word, the forbidden word - 'impossible'. Much talk is used to avoid pointing out when things actually can't realistically be done. The game is often lost for the person who utters this negative word. And any smart co-worker should quickly take the chance of being upbeat and positive at that time. Being friends with the bosses.

Example when it all went wrong:
By pinpointing any negative views whatsoever, the boss can get the upper hand here, by immediately blaiming the innocent person. From that point, it is an easy task to get twice the effort out of the worker, which hardly grasp what happened.
Spännande is such a useful word. What is the most interesting aspect about it that I really haven't got a clue what it really actually MEANS, in most cases. So start use it, y'all!

Zosia Zija, what can I say more...perhaps no more words needed...
Zosia is a legendary creator of wonderful, soft portraits, appealing, I am sure of that, not just to my heart, but many of others.
From the other side Zosia is legendary pioneer of presenting photography in internet, she was perhaps the first from Polish photographers who started to show her work in global portals of photography.
At least, she was the only Polish photographer I met, when I started to show my photography abroad.
For me personaly, discovering Zosia's photography was a milestone opening me eyes to new magic world of photography.
I am truely grateful I found her work few years ago, I am happy and proud even more, that she agreed to show some of her work on F blog.
Ladies and Gentelmen: ZOSIA ZIJA!
zosia zija, born in 1975, a photographer searching for simplicity in what she does, she loves simple and ordinary people, who she tries to see through the lens as extraordinary. her life motto is: follow your heart, whatever that means ;) so far, zosia had 7 exhibitions of her work : 2 in Warsaw (Poland) - 2003, 2005, one in Poznan (Poland) - 2003, one in Milan (Italy) - 2003, one in Castelo Branco: collective exhibition from the members from Pontos de Vista (Portugal) - 2004 and two in Brussels ( Belgium) - both in 2006. on an ordinary day she is a commercial photographer. it is said of her that she does portraits even when she shoots landscapes, but she does not like stereotypes, as she thinks that creativeness is like life, which someone once compared to a box of chocolates... you really don't know what you will get, which - in creativeness - means a constant search for something new, metamorphosis etc.
zosia lives and works in Warsaw. she has been a photographer for 15 years now. although she recons that it all started 5 yrs ago, when photography became her way of earning a living. 
I am glad to publish pictures by David Björkén at the F Blog. He sent me
some "lone stars" and I will post them one by one to give each picture
the attention it deservs. The first one is stuck in my mind forever. I
associated it with the film Diva.

A sofa. Like a monument from past times. A time of life and movement.
All signs of that are inexorably removed by time itself. Now there is
only eternity
