About karinelsu

A chemist by education and self-taught photographer, painter and writer I combine right and left brain hemisphere in telling stories, unwrapping our psyche, and asking questions through my photographs. I like to find the quaint, disregarded, overlooked.

I often find it hard to make pictures in the winter because of the lack of light and the often grey sky. Sometimes it works out well, though.

My photog friend and I drove on after visiting Man at Sea, stopping at all pull overs. There was something special about the sea and the light that was hardly even there.

Before heading back to the car in the cold December wind, I realized I hadn’t covered this angle of the huge sculpture before.

This image is almost identical to the previous one, only without the person. Two different moods to it. Pick your favorite…

As you can probably see it was both cold and windy on Dec. 25. this Christmas. It was great to get out of grandma’s house for a bit though and snap away. Even if our fingers felt more like popsicles at the end.

The image yesterday caused me to repost this 2012 image from the same location. I apologize for not having the time to dig it out and edit it from scratch – my fingers are itching, though.

Anyway, same location in Esbjerg, Man at Sea by Svend Wiig Hansen looking out over the Nordic Sea. But a different season. This was taken in the summer while the other was close to the shortest day of the year.

I’m sorry I’m not posting as I intend to at the moment. But here is the first image in a little series I shot on December 25. around the Danish town of Esbjerg by the North Sea.

“You as a child”

Posted on February 8, 2015 by karinelsu

A last example of submission to Lenscratch‘ open on-line exhibitions – one image per person and all gets shown. The theme here was ‘you as a child’. I chose the image ‘Still Mommy’s Little Girl’ form my self portrait series.

I took a current head shot, cut out so the picture of me around age three could be placed in the newer photo and re-photographed.

Someone you love

I’ve chosen this image for the open Valentine’s exhibition on Lenscratch. It was originally in color as I rarely work with B&W. But chance made me rework the image and I feel it became even stronger. It’s one of my favorite images from all of last year.
