last days

there is only about 5 days left of my stay here at krabbesholm. which means the days are hectic, planning the final exhibition, printing, last minute photographing. i've also started packing. it's a really strange feeling, the life i've lived the past 5 months is soon over. in other news, i've signed a contract for a room in oslo! so i'll most likely be living in oslo after the summer.

last week i did two shoots for my final project. they turned out pretty good and i can't wait to show you! however, my external hard disk is full so i can't really edit them properly yet. but here are some behind the scenes photos.




after the first shoot, i learned the painful way that i'm slightly allergic to mosquito bites. the photo doesn't really do them justice, and it was taken when the swelling had gone a bit down, but i had golf- and tennis ball sized mosquito bites all over my legs, and it was so swollen that it hurt more than it itched. for the second shoot i definitely remembered mosquito repellent.

i'll be staying in denmark this summer. which is nice and relaxing and just what i need. what are you doing this summer?

london

about a week ago our photography class went on a short field trip to london. we spent four busy days visiting one gallery after the other. it was a really nice, though exhausting, trip, and i got to see a lot of london, though not all the things i wanted to see, time flew by so fast. hopefully i'll visit there again someday soon.

at the train station, on our way to down town london. our flight was two hours delayed because of a thunderstorm over copenhagen, and the graphic design class from our school who were going to iceland, had to go to berlin instead because of the volcano.

visiting tate britain.


and tate modern. we spent about three-four hours there. my feet were numb afterwards.




the view from our hotel room, a cheap hotel with dirty windows and crooked walls.

a stranger at kensington park.


on the train ride back to the airport, after several days of sunshine the sky went dark from a thunderstorm.
