well yesterday my brother and i visited our grandmother. a great trip but i forgot my camera there! don’t know when i will go and pick it up, so until then i have desided to draw a bit in the meantime. a small “one drawing a day” project!..we’ll see how it goes. thanks for all your comments on the cake post! i will let my friend helle know that her cakes made quite an impression.

i hope this owl drawing will be part of my bird postcard project…just have to make some adjustments/improvements and see how it fits into the ones i have made so far

- lorenza: mmm crumble sounds great, i really like these types of cakes. may it be the first of many : )
- ai: i know almost overwhelming with all those delicious berries.!
- nathalie: that’s the thing..even though you eat lunch there’s still room for cake ; )
- ne: he, ja det er måske meget godt : )
- anairam: hehe your comment made me smile anairam.
- ida: JA, lagkage er noget af det bedste!
- epe, D: they were delicious
- máni: yeah i really like the colors in the first photo, looks almost analogue.
- lotte: den var tærtelækkeragtig : ) tror nok at opskrifterne er fra den der hedder kager der smager. ja efter tre fødselsdage er man ved at være mæt af alt det lækre…men kun for en stund : ) ps. det er så hyggeligt at være hyggeligt at være nabo til ungtblod…sjovt at tænke på om der skulle være flere nabobloggere derude.
- anna: oh you are fasting, then i can imagine it being even harder to look at cakes…

- kristina: tak skal du ha! og meget hyggeligt at passe rufus, han er sød!
- lorenza: welcome back from london, sounds like a great trip! thanks for the information about the weekenders word - now i know : )
- ida: thank you so much! glad you like it!
- nathalie: thanks, it’s a new skirt and i love it! 50’s style inspired. sounds beautiful being on an empty beach at sunset. can’t believe that guy only had a bathing suit!

delicious cakes made by helle

the weekend has been full of celebration - three birthdays to be exact! my friends anna and helle each held a birthday party and sunday NE’s father gave a birthday dinner. how was your weekend?

oh no, my browser just crashed and deleted all my comment replies…i’ll try with tomorrow’s post!

the last photos from the yashica film (i think) and probably the last summerish photos… i really like the first one with the airplane lines in the sky crossing.

hope you are having a great sunday!

- ulrika: thanks ulrika!
- sekimachihato: yeah, it looks so surreal the way they fly so closely together! the three ones are actually leading the way : ) otherwise i would have felt sorry as well
- anna: it wasn’t hard really…they were not flying that fast and the light conditions were okay. that valrhona chocolate is very good!!!
- julochka: hi julochka. i get them developed in a photo care shop at holmbladsgade. but i only get the negatives developed and then put on a cd-rom…it’s because the one managing the store develops them himself where most shops send them to somewhere else i guess. but it is more expensive than the regular development…my problem is that my scanner is bad at getting the colors right so therefore i prefer getting them on a disk. at some point i will get a photo scanner. do you scan them? it’s such a shame that it becomes harder and harder to communicate with the photo stores as you discribe because they don’t have that much expertise in film developing.
- allison: thanks! sounds like quite the sight you saw in seattle with so many of them flying in formation.

hello fellow weekenders! (probably not a proper word) so far it has been a great weekend seeing old friends and meeting new people! these photos have no connection what so ever other than this blog post. the first one taken on samsø - of a small group of starlings doing a bit of formation flying. so fascinating to watch them when they fly in large numbers don’t you think? the second one of NE working on the computer and the last one shows a great surprise treat we recieved from our sweet neighbours because we had been looking after our four-legged neighbour rufus. thanks mette and D! delicious brownies, chocolate and red wine!

- lotte: ja, jeg er også glad for den, bruger den som indkøbsnet…ikke så glamourøst ; )
- ali: hello ali, great to hear from you again : ) and thanks for your kind words! happy you like the photos
- ida: tak, og også tak for info om print!
- sekimachihato: i did the same, only with these uneatable red berries and i think you are right, that was your artistic side showing through : )
- epe, nathalie, kristina, anna and kristina k: thank you girls!
- rudegirls: hehe, fin lille sang ; )
- lorenza: yeah i really like the yashica as well, only sometimes i’m a bit frustrated with all the light leaks (about every second one of the photos in the film)but i guess that goes with the territory : )
- ne: hæ, det tænkte jeg nok
- kristi: thanks kristi, i only noticed the sky in the windows after i had the film developed
- alice: hi alice. i’m mostly using fujifilm superia. and mostly 200 iso..found a lot of roles at a very low cost in a supermarket. this one is a kodak film though. it was expired but apparently not “enough” as the colors turned out more or less normal. in general i’m content with the superia film, there’s a flickr group dedicated to it, so you can check it out there if you like.
- jenna: hello jenna! happy to have you back. i must head over to your blog to see what you have been up to! : )
- lorenza: yeah autumn light is somethng special!
- nathalie: nothing beats an empty and peaceful beach! after writing the note about photographing people from the back i realised that i like this type of pictures because of the slightly mysterious and dreamlike atmosphere you get…can’t really describe it properly. but they certainly become more “open” photos when you can’t see the person’s face
- ida: helt med på hvad du mener. selv om det er efterår har billederne også noget dansk sommer over sig.
- paula: you are right, it was a very calm and relaxing holiday on samsø. i’m looking forward to see your august/september photos!
- alexandria: yeah, it’s such a great idea with that train hostel! very inventive! glad you liked the beach and film photos : )
- young: tak! jeg kan varmt anbefale samsø, meget smuk ø! efter at jeg havde skrevet noten om de evigt rygvendte personer i mine billeder, er jeg også kommet til den konklusion - at det skæve og ufuldstændige portrætbillede ofte er mere interessant fordi man ikke ser det hele, men selv skal lægge noget i billedet.

leaving you with some more photos from my latest yashica film. one from our local park/nature area and the other two taken at home. the third photo is of a lovely owl tote bag bought from greentees. thanks for all your comments on the “beach post”! glad you liked it!

have a great wednesday everybody!

a few more photos from samsø. these ones from a nice walk at the beach with quiet water and warm afternoon light. we had the beach to ourselves besides from an older couple (in the third photo) who had walked to the beach to empty their fish trap. we were surprised to see the man with the cane being the one climbing the big rocks to get to the trap but we both agreed that he had probably done that a million times before.

note: at some point i have to start photographing people from the front…

we came back from the island samsø today. it has been a most wonderful weekend with bike rides around the island, great food and great company! so i’m just squeezing in some digital photos from samsø in between my film photos.

- elisabelle: hello : ) thanks for your comment elisabelle! i found the train very romantic as well!
- sekimachihato: thank you! fingers crossed that your role of film will be fine! (i’m looking forward to see the photos)
- emilia: tak skal du ha : ) helt enig malmø er en dejlig by!
- allison: hey allison, hope you had a great trip to new york! yeah it’s been a while since i have taken any analogue photos (been trying to cut back : )) but it is just so much fun!
- thereza, anna and nathalie: thank you!
- ulrika: thanks! we did have a great time in sweden - i want to go back soon : )
- paula: hi paula, thanks for your kind words about my film photos. these are all taken with my yashica
- kristina: yep, lidt ærgeligt med filmen : / men så har jeg en undskyldning for at tage nogle flere : ) det er sådan en fin have - botaniska trädgården og vi var heldige at solen brød frem og skinnede mens vi var der. det lyder meget logisk med de gamle cykler, her i københavn er der også mange cykeltyverier.
- alice: sorry to hear that you had two films ruined this way!
- máni: thank you máni : )

just a quick hello this saturday! more photos from my most recent film. these are taken in malmö which we visited briefly on our way home from lund. hope you are all having a great weekend!

greetings from samsø! we have arrived at the island and it’s such a beautiful place! i got two films back today..which turned out only to be one. i made the classic mistake of not having loaded the camera properly so the film came out blank. actually this hasn’t happened to me before (strangely enough) but i guess it had to happen sooner or later. anyway these photos are from the yashica film that did come out okay. first one of some berries found nearby where we live and second one from a park in lund.

- nathalie: thanks nathalie!
- rudegirls: jeg hilser : )

here are just a few more photos from lund and from the train journey going to lund. i like the one of NE holding his coffee cup in the air suspended while eagerly rephrasing a news article or something like that. tomorrow we are going to the small danish island called samsø to visit his father and stepmother who have a house there. i’m really looking forward!
