Comfortably Numb

Hello
Is there anybody in there?
...

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ships smoke in the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream has gone

I have become Comfortably Numb

(- Pink Floyd)

Love & hugs

Farewell to February

I spent most of this weekend converting part of my huge backlog of RAW files.

These were all shot this past month.

Day 15 - Wintersong

Something about this made me think of Joni Mitchell's song lyrics "River"

Day 19 - Dying Reflection

Day 28 - Swans

Frozen Tennis ball

March is finally here. What do you look forward to most this month?

Painting Nude

I just finished my second attempt at painting on canvas. I usually paint on paper but every once in a while something screams out to be taken all the way =D

My first real painting was a small golden nude made for the BFs Birthday last summer. I was quite pleased with it and learned a lot from the process (should try to drum up a pic of it some day).



As I am currently on a black & white streak the (lack of) color selection came natural.





(outlined and building shadows)

















(FINISHED - although the paint has yet to dry)




My new art project is off to a pretty good start :o)


Happy (soon) Sunday everyone!

xoxo

The Cuz, rough

A few rough shots of my cousin whom continuously stepped out of the light. I am not entirely pleased with the cast shadows but oh well. Maybe some day I can get him to stay still for more than five minutes =D (riiiiiight...)













I'll catch up on comments tomorrow. For now I am off to bed.

Sweet dreams everyone.

Project 365 - Day 45 Allan

I have a tendency to "adopt" close friends and think of them as surrogate siblings.

My extended family is large and wide spread, geographically as well as personality wise: from Cowgirls and Goofballs, to MasterBrains and Humanitarians, to Angels and Chocolate Goddesses =D

The common denominator is the goodness and strength in these people's hearts.

Meet my friend and "brother" Allan:


































Happy Sunday, everyone - and special congratulations to Holly, and to Steve (-slj) on their respective engagements. Blessings and hugs to you.

Project 365 backlog - day 023/365 New York State Of Mind

Six days in New York City is far too little when one has to

- show ones friend around town

- take advantage of the cheap US Dollar

- spend time with various friends and loved ones from four states

- spend HOURS oozing through my slice of Heaven, a.k.a. B&H Photo Video =D

- Wine and dine like the best of them!

I only truly had my camera out one day. My fingers nearly stuck to the shutter, that is how cold it was. I may be born and bred in Denmark but there are NO viking genes in me whatsoever.

This was shot super early while en route to see my acupuncturer in Chinatown.

and just because I had way too much time playing around with PhotoShop tonight:

Later that day I took my friend Maja to greet Lady Liberty from the Staten Island Ferry. Would have LOVED to go on a proper tour including Ellis Island, but our schedule was tight as we were meeting friends for dinner at Buddakan. HIGHLY recommended by the way.

These are my favorite images:

(did you notice the plane in the background?)

Please leave a comment :)

Have a GREAT weekend!

XOXO

Project 365 Backlog - day 20 Art and Ice

I have not been shooting all that much this past week. As some of you know my friend Maja and I just returned from New York City where our schedule was jam-packed, leaving little time to play with my cameras. Plural. I'll get back to that in a day or two =P

This was shot upside down while in transit at Brussels Airport. If only someone had bothered to polish this artwork it would have made a perfect pic =D

En route to JFK we passed the tip of Greenland. Magnificent sight! Soooo dramatic - I am seriously considering heading up there a couple of days (I am no fan of cold weather though).

As you can tell I am in a black & white phase these days - please bare with me.

More to follow over the next days. Hope you all had as great a week as I. Please take a minute to fill me in on what you have been up to?

xoxo
