I get homesick looking at these pictures!

Cable cars 2 – SF 2013
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.
San Francisco 2013
Ready for take-off? This is the first post in a row of selected from my summer in the US.
“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?!”
Kastrup 5, 2013
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!
Kastrup 4, 2013
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.
