If you are in an accident, who will support us?“



One fine day Peldi decided to work for himself and created
Balsamiq -a mockup tool. He has taken collaborative work to fullest advantage and integrated with Confluence and XWiki quite cleverly,

I've used Balsamiq Mockups for Confluence, also used that as an independent tool. Now using Balsamiq Mockups for XWiki. With the kind of word-of-mouth the tool has, I assumed there might be a big company behind Balsamiq. But it all started as a one man start-up by Peldi. The cleverness of the team shows in their relocation of office itself !

I found this interesting read of Peldi;
His words are truly inspiring, and made me think again 'do you have to work to make some one rich ?' . But could not stop laughing reading these words:
- “We’d like to buy a big license. I was wondering how long you plan to stay a one-man company for. If you are in an accident, who will support us?

- And my world came crushing down.
To get the context of what I'm talking you should read this blog post by Peldi

John Freeman is lensed to thrill !

This is Askja, the volcano situated in a remote part of the central highlands of Iceland. And in the center is a large lake that fills much of the smaller caldera resulting from the 1875 eruption. That's the
sky blue reflection over the water filled inside volcano crater.

It might be little bit deceiving to watch such a beautiful picture in smaller canvas. It's a wonderful wide-angle photo shot via Canon EOS 5D Mark II with 15 mm fisheye lens fired at iso100.

Time to checkout these amazing and spell-binding photos shot by John Freeman.
Every photo has a magic to whisper, a story to weave, an awe to caress.

My personal favorite shot is a very thought provoking photo with the perfect backdrop. Glance carefully to know what it is to feel it ! More I look at his photos, more admiration I feel for his fantastic work. Don't forget to navigate around the gallery. It's pure bliss to explore his album.
