This photoblog is my sandbox. Committing myself to post daily gives me a reason to play with a variety of photographic expressions and from this often comes inspiration to more art-related series. These are presented in my portfolio and my post today is in celebration of having completed my revision of “On the inside looking out”. You can view all fourteen photos here: http://karinottportfolio.com/2013/01/07/on-the-inside-looking-out-6/ – or just enjoy this one.
One last detail from the mall this time around. There are two malls close to where I live. I guess I’m lucky there are two. I wouldn’t get this kind of image at the other one.
The mall is called Fields – kind of strange with an English name in Denmark. It opened nine years ago. They tried to pay attention to detail and in general I would say it’s a succes.
I have no idea what these cardboard sky scrapers were doing at the mall, but they were a great photo opportunity.
After I was done shooting garden gnoms (I love that sentence…) I walked around the almost empty mall with my camera. I found enough to photograph to remind me to come back another day before the shops open.
My cell phone rang. “What are you doing?” “Shooting garden gnomes at the mall.” “What?”
I needed photos of garden gnomes for one of my canvas work. Not this one, but I thought it was pretty fun.
A slightly different posting for you today. I’m really excited. I’ve finished my on-line portfolio and it looks just like I wanted it to.
I use it to present the more artistic side to my photos and in a few weeks all of the combined photo/canvas work will be recorded and up as well. Drop by any time…
One final look at Kastellet for this time. This vista reminds me so of old French copper prints.
The Norwegian Church reflecting in the moat at Kastellet, Copenhagen – right next to the very little mermaid by the way.
Kastellet may be a pretty place for a Sunday walk in the fall, but it clearly was meant for defense. It held its ground against the Swedes in 1658 but fell against the English in 1807 and the Germans in 1940.
