One of the few good things about not going to Japan anyway is that I get to hangout with my buddies in Cancer Bats and Stan after all. Here is some shots from the first time we met at the Roskilde Festival a few years ago. Great peeps, good times! Can't wait to see them again soon.

Pictures on a disc

While cleaning up the apartment I found this cd with some pictures from one of our trips to Japan. I am still a bit scared about how it will feel when we were actually supposed to be in Japan. Right now we feel ok and have a lot of great things looking forward to at home but there will be some serious Japan missing.
Here is some pictures from my Lomo Lc-A+

The End

Temple of the fox

I still can't find the words to write about what is going on in Japan at the moment. Our second home is in shock and chaos and we aren't going to spend spring time in what I like to call my happy place. Things are not like they should be. I hope Japan will get better soon. More words might come soon.

ohhhhhh Japan!!!

This was another rush "photoshoot". I wanted to take a picture of my Grandma for my dads birthday. Unfortunately I don't see her that often so I had to take the picture at the birthday party. A 84 year old lady on a cold day in a garden with harsh sun and no time for set up does not make a perfect shoot. But at least you can always learn a lot from situations like these and looking at the pictures today I can see what I could have done different and what to think of next time I am having a commando hit and run shoot.
I hope my dad will like them.





Speaking of learning. Our next Japan trip is coming up and my photogear is already looking forward to being used again. I have decided to try to push myself a bit this time. I want to continue the series that I have been shooting the last couple of times, people, bikes, legs but this time I will fight my shyness and ask some people if I can take their picture. This is a great deal for me because I get really nervous when I have to approach people this way. I hope this will be a succes and that I will get enough good material to keep pushing myself this way. We will see. Live and learn, right?

Monkey mountain

This is the snow monkeys near Nagano in Japan. We went there on our last trip. Amazing trip. Amazing landscapes and awesome to see the monkeys play in the mountains and bath in the hot springs. Totally wanna go back.

I was lucky get these shots of my grandparents before they past away. They were taken as a xmas present for my mom and for me to have some good pictures of my grandparents.
It was a nice quick and simple shoot with only one softbox on a flshgun and light from a window and a black sheet on a door.
