The golden light of evening really adds something extra to a church, doesn’t it?

Fisherman’s Wharf 9 – SF 2013
I skulked into the area on Fisherman’s Wharf where I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to go. Not only are there plenty of derelict buildings of my favorite kind. There’s actual fishing going on. This is where I found the fish traps featured in one of the Landmark images (rerun below :-))

Iconic American sign clutter…
Fisherman’s Wharf 3 – SF 2013
The entrance to Pier 39 – the ultimate tourist trap in San Francisco. But go behind the back to see the sea lions that occupied the most expensive pier in the city.
“Invisible” – new work up on my portfolio
“Avatar”
A new body of work is up on my portfolio website. It is also the first series that make it to the website in it’s finished, Lightroom edited form. There’s a lot of work to be done with re-editing but I love the results. Even if the difference can appear to be minor I feel they are significant.
Canvas work
“Time heals all wounds”
I spent all day yesterday on a project that has waited a long time – editing all the photos of my canvas work. I needed Lightroom to do that as all the shots needed straightening. The mounted photo canvases are all 60*60 cm with the photos sewn onto the canvas with cross stiches at each corner. There’s no photoshop involved. All elements are cut and glued and all photos are as shot.
Below are the rest of the canvases I just posted on my portfolio, now in a quality I dare put my name to. These plus many more are exhibited at Ishøj Kultur Café, Denmark, until Tuesday.
“Tug in”
“Take me for a ride”
“A rose is a rose is a rose”
“The veil”
“Invasion of the body snatchers”
“What the?!”
Project Amagerbrogade 133, 47-2013
Ahh, I found a soul mate for the single nail posted in the spring. This is what comes of being a Highly Sensitive Person. You see the tiny details whether you want it or not, but with a camera in hand it’s fun.

Remember the images from inside the building of peace and beauty even though it was about to be dismanteled? Well, this is what was left the last time I came to visit this summer – a layer of bricks as the outer walls and a hole in the middle.
Flappergastet
“Invisible”
‘Flappergastet’ is such a great word. For once I have a chance to use it. I submit to several art photography competitions every months, some are juried gallery exhibitions, others are more like real competitions. Yesterday the winners were announced for two of them and, no, I didn’t win. But I made it to the finalists/nominees in five of the seven categories I submitted to.
Five? They didn’t even tell me. I went to the webpage to study the images there. When I got to the category of Invisible Women I found some very familiar images and a very familiar name. I was more than a little excited just to have made finalist. Then I checked out all the categories of the two competitions and at the end I was able to add the following lines to my resumé:
- Finalist/Nominee, Invisible Women Portfolio Category, The Fifth Julia Margaret Cameron Awards
- Finalist/Nominee, Landscape Single Image Category, The Fifth Julia Margaret Cameron Awards
- Finalist/Nominee, Selfportrait Single Image Category, The Fifth Pollux Awards
- Finalist/Nominee, Children Single Image Category, The Fifth Pollux Awards
- Finalist/Nominee, Cityscapes Single Image Category, The Fifth Pollux Awards
– All in a single evening.
As always there is an image with my post. This is from my selfportrait series – finalist in Invisible Women and Selfportrait.
Group exhibition “Car Culture” PhotoPlace Gallery
“Go on, you know you want to…”
I just got this image accepted among the forty images to be shown at “Car Culture”, PhotoPlace Gallery, Middlebury, Vermont, November 5 to 23, 2013. It’s a name that pops up frequently when I share the info on group exhibits but I can assure you that it is a diiferent juror every time.
This image was shot in Sonoma, CA, this summer at a classic car exhibition at a vinyard where I dragged my family to so I could sweat in the sun while taking pictures of cars I would be hard pressed to find at home.
