This is Eirik Solheim’s prize winning experiment. I use this page to share information about media, marketing, technology, photography and stuff I find important. I have been running this page since 2003. And since I started using Statcounter in 2005 more than 2 million people have visited my site.
It is important that you understand that this blog is my own space. The opinions and content that I publish here should not be read as official opinions of my current or my former places of work!

I use it to experiment with web technologies and to get in touch with interesting and intelligent people from all over the planet.
I have read somewhere that the most successful blogs out there have many short posts. Well, eirikso.com will never be successful. I am going to keep on posting few, relatively long posts. Basically, I try to concentrate on quality, not quantity.
There are already insane amounts of information out there, why should I bother you with something that I didn’t find seriously interesting? If you choose to subscribe to my feed I will not overload you with posts. When something shows up, it should be interesting.
Hi Eirik,
Congrats on your blog. A lot of nice photography!
Would you be interested in testing Yokway? We are in private beta and your contribution would be valuable.
Cheers.
Stephan
Thank you for the invite. I’ll check it out!

Hello Eirik,
Your 4 seasons came to my Facebook page recently, and I was delighted to see your fine work, and inspired by your patience. I would very much like to place your video links on TreeLink.org and http://www.iTreeBank.org
I am a former journalist now running a nonprofit organization at http://www.TreeLink.org
Kind regards,
Pepper
No problem! Let me know if you need any files or help with the embed codes.
I feel I was meant to log on to the web at 5AM and instantly find your video on You Tube. It was a brilliant experiment and beautiful. I miss the four seasons and this gives me a reason to return to the midwest soon (after the winter of course). Congratulations from Tucson, AZ.
Hi Eirik,
The seasons work is stunning. I saw it first on my iPhone last night just before
I went to bed. As so often happens a great idea came to me just as I was falling
asleep.
Next year we are launching an important new seminar called ‘The Big Weekend’
(http://www.LifeUniversity.com/the_big_weekend.html).
In the spirit if the best of personal development it is designed to help folks
get rid of some of their baggage and move towards their goals.
In the program, there is a segment where the trainer talks about the ‘seasons’ of our lives and it would be incredible to run one of your films.
Is that something you would consider allowing? As a thank you we could offer some tickets to the program not only to you, but some for readers of your blog…
Let me know – Best – Seymour
Eirik,
Congrats on the cool piece and thanks for sharing the magic behind the curtain. FYI – I have a time-lapse blog that I covered your great work in. It is located here:

Cheers,

Thank you! And a very nice site indeed. Beautiful collection of time lapse videos.
Your 40 second time lapse was just shown on KGO-TV Ch 7 in San Francisco, California USA – as a closing news feature for 2008. Congratulations and Happy New Year!!
Coo! You find the link to their article here:

I happened on your 40-second time lapse video of 2008 completely by chance. It’s beautiful, as so many of us appreciated it. Thank you and best wishes to you in 2009 with everything and especially with beautiful projects like this! -Micaela
Loved your video – so serene, peaceful and beautiful…just amazing
@ILSE and @Micaela Van Zwoll
Thank you!

Fantastic show! Reminds me of where I grew up in New England. Where did you take the photos, if you don’t mind my asking?

Really like your four seasons video. Would like to include it on the developing Mid-Atlantic Primitive Skills website. Although not a non-profit, all profit from the site (currently $0…) will go to maintaining the site and for organizing seasonal events (I have a real j-o-b, it is essentially a work of love).
I was impressed with the video’s depth.
Even if your permission is not forth coming I appreciate your work.
Thanks!

Feel free to use it. As long as you link to this site.
Amazing amazing amazing!
I had the thought to try and create the same effect using pictures of my new born son but he’s likely to move even more than the trees
If you can think of a way to achieve the same effect for a growing baby I would love to give it a go!
I guess that would involve lots of manual adjustments in Photoshop…
To eirikso :

You can download the images from the original article and use them as a screensaver.
Hello Erik,
Your seasonal observations are beautiful. You will like my colour observations in nature!
Have a look at:

Thank you! Very interesting indeed.
Hey eirikso,
your video “a year in 40 seconds” is great! We are very impressed and your seasonal observations inspired us to write a poem.
So, are you able to send us the complete version of the video (in high quality if possible)?
We are looking forward to work with you.
Kind regards.
Anja and Vanessa
from Germany.
You find download links at the bottom of the original article:

There you can download the two videos in HD, the audio files and the images.
Hi Eirikso
We are featuring an article on time lapse photography in a future issue of EOS magazine (www.eos-magazine.com). Would it be possible to use your copy and images as part of the article? Of course, we would be happy to pay you for it in line with our usual rates (which are not astronomic, I’m afraid). Also, could we put the video on our website?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards

Mr. Solheim,
I have a client who may be interested in displaying your “one year in 40 seconds” on his website. He would have no trouble linking to you but we were wondering if you would provide us the animation so we can host it on the site. This will help ensure that we never have a broken link should you choose to take it down at some point. By the way, what an amazing piece of work! Please contact me if possible.
Mr. Solheim,
I know we should not use the video for commercial uses, but I was wondering if a Music Video would be considered “commercial”. It’s on the thin line of being professional and being a hobby. I only have 4 months to make this video and there’s no way we can make a year worth of a time lapse in that amount of time.
E-mail me if you’d like to hear the music at Catz0112@gmail.com
Lots of Love,
Rei
I’d like to use the ‘year in 40 seconds’ piece for a chaplain’s retreat that I am working on. I am a real rookie in some of the tech stuff and need simple instruction on how I can download this for playing on my Mac. Thanks for any help you can give me.
You go to this page:
http://eirikso.com/2008/12/27/one-year-worth-of-images-give-some-amazing-videos/
And click the download link at the end of the article. The link that says:
Video:
40 second movie, 8 mbit/s H264, 1280×720 25p
That file should play fine on your Mac.
Or… simply download from this link:
http://eirikso2.com/seasons/10mm_Seasons_2008-720HD.mp4
Right click and choose “save as…”
Eirik, impressive work. I would like to use a plain screendump of your photos in a presentation for a potential customer. Your way of observing and capturing different moments is spot on regarding this customers product offering.
I´ll be in touch.

Hi Eirik,
Just come across your video and I think it’s amazing!I’m in university and as part of a project for one of my classes we are doing a video for youtube. Would it be possible to use it?
Let me know,
Martina
Answered through mail. But in general: that’s no problem!
Eirik,
Your year in 40 seconds video is awesome and breath-taking. I would like to use it as part of a time-lapse video project I am doing. It’s all personal and non-commercial for my friends in a reunion we will be having.
I would greatly appreciate your permission. Please let me know.
Rudy
That’s no problem. Feel free to use it. And please provide me with a link when your project is done.

Hei, Eirik
I slutten av januar sendte jeg deg en bekreftelse på foredrag på Mikromarc brukermøte for folkebibliotek 24. september 2010. Håper du har notert deg det. Nå trenger vi en tittel på foredraget og tre-fire inspirerende
linjer om hva foredraget handler om. Dette sender vi ut til brukerne våre sammen med invitasjonen til brukermøtet.

Hi
I am presenting an entry called ‘a dress for all seasons’ in a wearable arts competition and have been looking for time lapse pictures of changing seasons to use as the backdrop. Your’s are fantastic and exactly what I am looking for, can I have your permission to use them? They really complement the outfit and music and would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Sophie
May I link your site from my blog? I sorta have a political statement thing going with it, but I like that you just have really neat stuff!
Thanks for your time and consideration!
Sincerely and God Bless,
William R. “BillD” DeSilvey
Can’t forbid anyone to link to my blog can I? So feel free…
