Monthly Archive for June, 2010

Hello!

In account for the endless hours spent at work the last two – three weeks I’ve been able to take two days off in addition to the weekend, how liberating it has been. Much much needed. Naturally It does make little sense to spend more time on a screen so I’ve been a terrible blogger. Every second I am able to be here is so special so I just try to make the most out of it. Instead of blogging I’d rather photograph. But as more people ask me for sharing, I’m happy to do so, and look forward to doing it more often and openly.

from the last weeks in new york.

I told you about the joyspreader. He will help you articulate that life consists of joy and we shall not subject to forget that.

I screamed with him. just one of the thousand reasons to be fascinated about williamsburg. that place has to be one of the most creative places in America.

Mercer street, where the design office I work for is located, it gets quite nice approaching spring and prince street.

wouldn’t have expected to see views like this. what they’ve done along the hudson stretch is really quite lovely though, almost chicago level i’d say. just thinner. kudos for new york gardeners. they do great work!

Canal street by lunch.

the jewish area in Williamsburg is the most surreal place I’ve set ground on. challenging to photograph for sure.

then to another continental shift.

happy birthday girl! they were very keen to pose. sweet people.

Memorial Day nightride home to brooklyn. Brothers from Nicaragua, fascinating relationship. Can you imagine a photographer going unnoticed to make such a photo. Inspiring connections.

Every once in an often enough occasion, you perform work of experimental character, the above which is the pond bridging, a photo from a party in oslo with my friend haidar blended with the luminous double shift of southern manhattan luminous face. Gotta keep experimenting.

Magic realities

You might fall in love with these. I just did. And then casino versus japan twinkled through my speakers and time was forgotten.

Alison Scarpulla has half a gallery on flickr to dream on to.

Hello Iceland, you dance well.

Setshuhen shared this wonderful video with me. It is a leading example of what works when instigating an interest in you. Having in mind they were being beat up by economic and geographic forces this is a quite brilliant face to the world saying we are for all time a unique place on earth and nothing that has happened well affect the energy we have (kind of a bit over-romantic to say perhaps).

But this is it. This is what people want. And I hope you want to travel to Iceland (even more) since you always have, after this.

I’m sure they had plenty of fun just making it. Would be great to see more countries do this so innovately. Fun is key. In making and wanting.

Big pimpin

last night I took the 5d for a walk in Ludlow, Manhattan.

event at the mill, production company based right over the ideo offices. it would be a big mistake to miss out on this. great music!

fellow electro affiliate and new york admirer Byron joined for the views and the funky house.

not much energy left to write. work is super busy, any moment to gaze out at the sky between the scrapers is a delight and a reminder of this special time. i have a big plan ;) this blog is far from dead, trust me. three more months in this amazing city, I am so lucky!
