Apair 4, 2012

When I was working with these photos after the shoot I realized something. Yes, this is a stunning, flirtatious shoe that makes my knees all wobbly and weak. But like humans prefer photographers that make them look beautiful, these shoes seem to be calling me to take their portrait.

“Pleeeease, you have to!” (flexing muscles and batting eye lashes). “You make me look beautiful.”
“But you are beautiful.”
“I know…” (flattered giggle) “But you can capture it. Pleeease…”
“Oh okay. Will you let me wear you then?”
“Are you kidding? I am so out of your league! How do you like this pose?”

Copenhagen 1, 2012

Last year I posted shots of the Christmas lights in Copenhagen. They weren’t the only pictures I took that evening and now the time has come to show the rest of them.

The reason why people would ever consider sitting outside in the winter is that you can’t smoke inside.

Reflections, Copenhagen 2012

I’m a sucker for reflections. This was taken in December at my local café, Ingolfs Kaffebar on Amager. Cafés in Denmark are “hyggelige” – a Danish word without a proper translation, indicating something really nice, making you feel comfortable.
