Dreams On Green

I absolutely love when friends stop by for dinner

- Especially when they agree to throw on a dress and model for a quick shoot ;-)

What is the highlight of your week?

Footprints

She leaves Footprints

All over the world

Longing

To reconnect

With her heart

...

Will he find her?

Pride Performance

Copenhagen hosted a big party Saturday - first the Pride Parade, then the Closing Ceremony and performances to mark the end of the week long World Outgames 2009.


The square at City Hall was dubbed "Pride Square" for a day, and City Hall even waved a rainbow flag. Past Eurovision Song Contestants, Michael Jackson Tribute, and dragqueens rocked downtown.


And for a moment there I re-lived my teenage CelebriCrush as Johnny Logan rocked the stage.













































How did YOU spend the weekend?

An Unexpected Blessing

One day Tanya's cat Aloysius apparently decided to see what hype was all about, walked into my photoshoot and laid down.









Please share one of YOUR unexpected blessings?

World OutGames 2009 - Opening Night

*

Copenhagen is hosting the World OutGames 2009 - the official Games for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) athletes.

I am proud to live in a society that is accepting of everyone regardless of race, religion, and sexual orientation.

Denmark was the first nation to legalize same-sex marriage, or "registered partnership" as the term is here.

Please be respectful if commenting. Any disrespectful comment WILL be deleted!

Although understanding of everyones right to a different opinion than mine I draw the line at slander and hate.

Thank you.

And to the OutGames contestants: Welcome To Copenhagen!

XOXO

Night Photography Workshop

*
During my resent trip to California my friend Tanya and I spent four days in Yosemite.

Being a huge nature lover the National Park is everything I could have ever imagined - and more. Gorgeous natural wonders, trails, wild life, and sunshine... I already look forward to returning.

While there I joined a photography workshop offered by the Ansel Adams Gallery. The theme was Night Photography, and with the full moon blasting attending this class is just about the best thing I ever did for myself!

If you follow this Blog (or my personal Blog for that matter) you'll know although I specialize in people photography I tend to shoot anything my heart desires thus with encouragement from Tanya and my friend Kimber I signed up for this unique opportunity.

Although I have yet to post process these are my favorite workshop shots - straight off the camera.
































- What are your plans for this summer?

- And what are your thoughts on the state of California closing some of the State Parks?

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

Carnival in Copenhagen

~* ~

Yesterday I grabbed my camera to document the annual Copenhagen Carnival.

Starting at 11 AM the Parade moved down Strøget to City Hall. And boy did it move slooooow :)

The streets were packed and getting in good shots were not always easy. But oh was it ever worth while - I was quite impressed this year.

Now, if anyone would like to sponsor a trip for me to shoot Carnival in Venice, Italy - or in Rio de Janeiro - Ooooh or Burning Man (!!!) I shall be happy to go =D

These are my favorite shots. Hope you'll enjoy (I know Joe will =P )

Have a fabulous day!
