Part of the charm of the cable cars of San Francisco is their patina – that’s a word we use here in Denmark to describe something that has been worn by age in a way that adds to the charm.

Cable cars 1 – SF 2013
Lets start out with a traditional subject – the cable cars of San Francisco. Endlessly fascinating and you’ll have plenty of time to study them as you wait in line 🙂 An advantage of being jet lagged is that we had time to ride to Fisherman’s Wharf and back long before anyone else were finished with their hotel buffet breakfasts.

Sometimes I realize that the creativity of nature surpasses anything we humans can think up.
Man’s Burden – New work up on my portfolio
Black man’s burden, white man’s burden, any man’s burden…
What do we carry, how do we carry it and how do we carry ourselves?
We all carry something – bags, water bottles, scars, excess weight, tattoos, emotional pain. Some of what we carry is evident as they are physical objects but the rest we can only speculate about.
With this body of work my intention is to focus on what people physically carry but to encourage the viewer to look deeper. I chose to make the images faceless as faces often draw our attention. My aim here is to look beyond facial expression.
We all have preset notions about a person from the way they look but often these notions tell us more about ourselves than about the person we are looking at. By considering what clues to the personality we can glean from just looking at the center of a person, what they carry, and how they carry themselves we might gain an insight into how we view ourselves.

I probably would not have noticed this lovely and unusual flower if the owner of the house hadn’t pointed it out to me.

The first of three shots from the garden of the lovely house with the view. Going into details was almost as rewarding as admiring the view.

The view from the pool – of course there would be a pool 🙂 Though, before you rush out and buy a splendid house like this you might want to know that the owners spent over $100.000 repairing damages after a landslide on their lot a couple of yours ago. So we’ll just rent, right?

Did I mention that a house has this view? I don’t know if I’d ever be able to leave this bench if I lived there. The Bay Area at your service…
