Here’s to wishing I’d had a chance to shoot more inside the old buildings, With this second shot from the lift, we leave Bryggergården. San Fransisco of this summer coming up next!

I was fortunate to be given a tour of the part of the Kastrup Værk, Bryggergården, they were attempting to rent out. The craftmanship of what was not covered was amazing. The thickness of the lumber, the structure of the stone walls with the windows imbedded a foot deep… Unfortunately all I had a chance to photograph were two fast shots in an elevator so old you opened the door by pulling a rope.
This is the first of them.

Bryggergården is a whole complex of buildings. At first only bricks were produced here, then also beer. Now only the bar turned café is left plus several apartments. The place was completely renovated in 2008 and they have begun to offer parts of it for reasonable rent to creative projects. I hope they succeed.
Guinea pigs
My postings have been a bit inconsistant. I apologize – mostly to myself, I guess. You see the reason above. Two weeks ago we aquired two guinea pigs. They are the most adorable, cudly little creatures, and we tend to bring them out even when the children are asleep. And there’s just so much typing you can do while petting a guinea pig so I’ve fallen quite behind.

This preserved complex, originally from 1749, lies at the end of Amager Beach past the marina and the new aquarium, The Blue Planet. Since 1838 it has housed a bar, now a café. And it’s just a stone’s throw from Copenhagen Airport.

I’ve shown images from Amager Beach before. This, in a way, is from the same area – built in 1749. More tomorrow…
On-line annex “Transformations” PhotoPlace Gallery + API
“Pull up a chair”
While I won’t be hanging on the wall in the upcoming exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery, Middlebury, Vermont, “Transformations – The Ordinary Made Extraordinary”, I did make it to the on-line annex and the catalogue with the above image from my series Invisible.
API is short for Art Photo Index. It is a “searchable, visual database of selected photographers and photo-based artists from throughout the world.” I am honored to have been invited to join, especially when I view the work of the amazingly talented artists represented. If you have time to kill, it won’t be wasted browsing websites found at API.
Project Amagerbrogade 133, 50-2013
The last image from Amagerbrogade 132 this time around. I’ll be back with images from the rebuilding – still daring myself to find the less than obvious.

One of the challenges I gave myself when I began this project of following the building was to keep making shots I found interesting. It got increasingly difficult as there was less and less left. But here’s yet another image.

Another look at what was originally the inside of the building.
