When you were little, did you avoid the crack to not “break your mother’s back”? Moving to America, I didn’t fully understand that that was just a rhyme, and was genuinely scared of hurting my mom. Thankfully I figured it out fairly quickly, and went on my merry way. Good thing too, because with streets paved with cobblestone everywhere you turn, Europe is not really the best place to put that particular rhyme to the test.

A statue in Nyhavn
On my walk around the city one day, I happened to actually see this monstrous statue outside the harbor. I must’ve passed it dozens of times before I actually saw it. I don’t know what made me stop that one time, but I got a cool shot out of it!
What do you pass everyday that you don’t notice until that one special day? Take note of it 🙂
Fuzzy Warmth
It’s been a bit gloomy here lately. And it’s summer, so it’s muggy, and hot as hell. So I thought I’d bring a bit of color (and a shot of cold) into the day!
Night Sky Line
Copenhagen once again, there may be a trend in where my mind is lately 🙂
Sunset is one of my favorite times of day. As a photographer, it has the “magic hour” when the light is as naturally perfect for photographing as it will ever be. But for me it has always been nice to wind down to a beautiful scenery, a wonderful backdrop to cap of a wonderful day.
Sweden!
This was taken on the coast of Denmark in Helsingør at the Kronborg castle. It inspired Shakespeare and was featured as Elsinore in Hamlet. This part of Denmark’s coast is a scant 4 km from Sweden, hence the placement of the castle, when these two countries were sworn enemies. I was told that if you go underwater, you can see proof of the warring factions through the mounds of cannonballs along the floor of the sea. As technology got progressively better, the cannonballs were able to go a further distance. But those that didn’t make it are still at the bottom of the ocean as small mounds of cannonballs slowly inching to the opposite coast.
Get up and play!
Soccer is a blast! I’ve loved it since I was little. But I hate running, and I’m just not a good soccer player. Regardless, I have fun watching through my camera lens! Especially when I have really nice voluntary models 🙂
Looking over Copenhagen
One otherwise normal October day in Copenhagen, some friends and I climbed to one of the highest spots in the city to see what we could see 🙂
Venice, Summer 2010
There are canals EVERYWHERE in Venice. Obviously, it’s a city made of islands that just happen to be really close to one another. It’s quite picturesque, especially with the sun peeking through the buildings.
Reichstag Berlin, Summer 2010
As the first free day we had in Europe, we had an opportunity to explore Berlin. This particular shot is the Reichstag, the German Parliamentary building as we walked up the spiral at sunset.
Black Diamond Library Escalators
The Black Diamond Library looks out over the harbor in Copenhagen. The building is incredibly striking because, you guessed it, it is a gleaming black structure in the shape of a three-dimensional diamond. This was taken as I was leaving after a long day of studying before finals during my semester abroad.
