Back from the Baltic Sea...

I'm back now from a trip to Germany and getting used to being in the city again... Part of this trip I spent at the Baltic Sea... Interesting experience to have the next public internet connection a 20 minute drive away... It really slows you down... ;) But it's beautiful there!



I'm usually not one for unicorns and rainbows and such... But this was just too pretty not to shoot and show...



Close to the the smallest town in Germany, Arnis, if I recall correctly...



Pier and harbor stuff...



More pier and harbor stuff...



Landscape...



More landscape... I love how you can see nature adapting to the strong winds...



Even more landscape...



Lot's of landscape...



Reminded me of the similar ugly buildings on top of a mountain close to Aspen... Don't really know why this spoke to me... Most likely because it looks lonely & solitary...



Traffic sign for giants! Most likely not! :P

Apologies!!! And an image!

First off: Thank you to those who have expressed that they want to see new installments here! It really helps to get feedback like that when contemplating of posting images or not... Luckily I have been busy with assignments recently and will hopefully be able to post some of those images soon... Here is one image of an assignment I did last week... I was invited to Atlanta and met Sherlock there... A small dog with a big personality and loads of talents! I don't think my recollections will do him justice, so I will wait for his mum to chime in if she wants to...

PS: I somehow forgot the apology: Sorry for not posting more recently! I'll try to improve the frequency of my posts!



I really like this image of Sherlock. He looks very smart and alert especially considering his age...
He definitely made me change my mind about small dogs! This image was originally taken to show Sherlock in relationship to his mum, that's why I actually like him partly obscuring her leg as if to guard her... Thank you both for opening up and sharing your life with me!

Busy summer...

As it was so super hot in the city in the last weeks and I was luckily quite busy with other things I have not been in the subway to continue my project in a while... I have one more big installment that I shot some time ago... Will post that soon too... But for now two images that have not much in common other than that I shot them at night in the city...



I shot this one last night... View from our bedroom into the night sky... I was actually ready to go to bed when I saw the clouds and decided to capture the moment... Of course it took longer than I thought it would... (I wanted to light up the room ever so slightly and the red velvet curtain a lot...) Has a weird, kind of poetic feel to it... Couldn't really tell that it was shot in the middle of the night...



Walking to the subway after a late shoot I finally checked out the High Line that has been open for the public for a while now... I love the overall tone... And then the people in the front breaking out of that palette...

Elmo in action!

I'm running around in the city quite a lot these days... Most of the times I even had my big camera with me... But not a lot of good stuff happened then... The good stuff happened when I only had my iPhone with me... This is all in New York close to the ICP... One day I saw Elmo running around posing with people asking for tips... I thought that was some kind of PR stunt... Today I went to that area again and coming out of the subway I saw Elmo only half dressed taking a break... Surreal! Taken with my iPhone, then messed around with in the iPhone and then final adjustments in Photoshop.

Sunday eve's double portrait

I took today's image on Sunday after having dinner with friends...
Dan and Sarah showed us their Aspen... The light in the restaurant was beautiful and I asked if I could take their picture... This frame is my favorite... It happened when they stopped paying attention to me... I love how it shows their relationship as newlyweds!

Stars, lots of stars...

Relaxing in and around Aspen was fun this weekend... Photographer Dan Bayer and his lovely wife Sarah took us up to Independence Pass to star gaze... And he was super generous regarding tips on how to capture them as well... I don't think I have seen quite as many stars before... It was cold but a fabulous experience! Thank you!



It was of course pitch black up there, but I used my new LED light on a stand to light up some of the details like this sign here... On super minimal setting of course...



Weather station at Independence Pass.



Glow of a town on the right side and in the middle a car coming up the road...



Restrooms. Profane, I know, but I just loved the symmetry and had to capture this.

Summery Aspen and me!

Today's post is about my stay in Aspen. Not too much to write... Figuring out what precisely moves me about this place... And of course trying to avoid creating images that are too touristy or "pretty"... And that's not easy as I don't really know the place yet and it is really beautiful here!



On top of Aspen Montain.



Just outside Aspen Airport last Sunday... My plane was the last one coming in that afternoon... Tornado warning in Denver...



Clouds around Aspen.



More clouds around Aspen.



Same!

Final image so far... But there are a few days left here...
