Summer Snapshots

 Favorite moments from this summer:

• My mother & sis visiting for two weeks in the month of June. It was my sister's first time in Copenhagen and I so happy to show her around my favorite places. 
• Roskilde festival, of course, was the highlight of the summer
• Visiting GL Strand to see the Tove Jansson exhibition. Lots of Moomins! But overall, her art is very interesting and learned a few things about her biography. Now, I want to visit again to see the Stanley Kubrick exhibition which just opened. 
• Last but not least, I enjoyed very much celebrating friends graduations. August was such a joyful month with lots to celebrate (and too many drinks), but at the same time a very stressful one.

Thank you summer 2017 you were a good one!

Scandinavian Winter Light

It's mostly dark and grey, but if you get the chance to see the sun it makes everything look very magical.

In the Middle of Nowhere

In the middle of nowhere, but we knew where we where. Get it? This is one of those spots that people/locals seem to know about but they are kind of secret places.

Never Stop Exploring

The day started grabbing a cup of coffee with my mother, again a little spot in the mountains that from the outside looks like a bar, you enter and see a small supermarket than if you keep walking you will see the cafe. Very small and compact but really nice. I'll share some photos in another post. It was like a 30 minute car journey from my house for just a cup of coffee, but worth it - amazing and very inexpensive! After our little coffee break we asked for directions for this peculiar place and five minutes later we were there. It is essentially an under-construction bridge. Something I didn't expect is how calm and therapeutic it felt to be there. Since it is a desolated area it was very quiet and the only thing you could hear were birds singing, flying through the trees and the flow of the water from the river. Kind of upset that the part of the bridge is closed but as for now it's painted with the words "I love you". Sweet! 

Hopefully I can go back soon! Of course, if they haven't finished it. It's always nice to do a little exploring around, ask for directions or places that people love and find something like this. This doesn't happen everyday. Hope you enjoy the photos! 

 Have a nice weekend!

Capture the Good Times

Doing my yearly "new year cleaning" I found my old phone which I completely forgot that I had left it in the closet for someday transfer all the photos to save them. But of course, never did...until today! What a special surprise I had to see all these photos that I kind of forgot about them and it was great to go through them and have a little laugh. 

Something I do regret a bit is in not investing in a good camera. Why did I waited for so long?! It makes me want to go back to these places and take a better shot. Even though the quality is not that great I still love them. The charm and beauty behind these photos are more for the stories behind them. The memories that brings me just by looking at them, it reminds me of the time spent with friends and family. For example, the second photo I remember that I was in pain! We had been walking for about, I don't know, three hours and I was exhausted. I took the photo while I was taking a break on the floor. Also remember been annoyed with my friends because for some reason they weren't tired and continued walking. haha And if you're wondering, yes the hike was worth the pain! Beautiful view at the top, maybe I should look for those photos. Good times!

Film Fail

After having this one roll for four months I was getting really excited to see the results. But they didn't came out that great. All looked really out of focus and shaky. Hopefully next roll will be better and more interesting. Not going to give up on film photography! Maybe these photographs are telling me to practice more and understand better the lighting (maybe?). Anyway, I just have one more week to finish the semester and then I'm finally free to enjoy the holidays! 

Have a nice weekend!

First Experience with Film

I always wanted one of this little toy cameras, a few reasons why:

1. they look adorable
2. I like the effects that gives to the photos - I don't need to use Photoshop or any other app 
3. the use of film just makes the experience even better because of the element of surprise in how my photos will turn out 

These first few photos I got with the first roll are not that great. I think you can see the main reasons are the lighting and the focus. The camera is pretty simple and easy to use but the fact that I can't see where I'm focusing, it means I need more time with the camera and practice. But I'm really excited with this new hobby, now the camera goes everywhere with me and a plus is that is not heavy at all like a dslr.
