When it is nice – it is really nice in Copenhagen. Today was an extraordinary day. After a long flight I explored the city with a work colleague and then after a nap I went out shooting. This image I love. Little girl running excited about the fountain. You can read a lot into it. Shot with an iPhone hipstamatic.
I travel a lot and one of my favorite things to do is to walk the city streets and do street photography. One of my favorite cities for doing this is Copenhagen. It’s a great city that is alive and offers amazing photo opps. This is a shot I made outside a store and shows their unique way of merchandising. I bet the sale they had was a big success. This is real block head marketing.
I just loved the colors and everything about the side of this building. It was found at Olevetti quarry near Bloomington, IN.
I went for the monthly Sunday drive with Debra my companion in photography and more on Sunday and our goal was to find old Indiana Limestone quarries near Bloomington. Mission was a success but many were chained and blocked so we couldn’t get in. I did find some cool images though like the one above. We intend to call and get permission to shoot in a few of these places as the environment was image rich. We also decided to wait to cooler weather.
Back in the spring I visited Holland, Mi to shoot the tulip festival and especially the tulips. It was kind of a bust as the early spring had forced the tulips to bloom early. So we spent the time there to explore the town and back roads and found lots of fun things to shoot. We happened upon this guy who was a one man band on the streets of Holland. Look for more Michigan photos in coming days.
I love wandering different antique markets, stores and wherever else looking for the unusual. What I find is usually something rusty and maybe colorful. This was at a small antique store near Saugatuck MI. I used my iPhone and shot this with Hipstamatic. Tight cropping and colors work.
As I said in my last entry I was headed to Copenhagen. Well, I am in Copenhagen and I have been pretty slammed with meetings and such. A lot to cram into a week at Phase One. So, postings have been nonexistent but I will catch up. So, other than a mermaid sitting on a rock what other iconic places are there in Copenhagen? Tivoli of course.
It’s off to Copenhagen in a short time. I’ll be there for a week on business and may not have the chance to post as mush as I like. Thought I’d share an iconic Danish landmark shot on a foggy morning on a trip there last fall.
Last night had the chance to visit a basement bar in Broadripple, a trendy area of Indianapolis. There was this band made up of a bunch of old guys. (Yes, I am an old guy too). and, they were just having the time of their lives playing music as if they have been doing it together for 50 years. I had a great time shooting the evening and thought I would post a more artsy shot of picking on the guitar. Just a damn cool night all round.
Every now and then I like to switch things up a bit. I visited the Tulip Festival as I try to do every year in Holland , Michigan. This year it was not so great, cold, rainy and most of the tulips had already lost their leaves due to an early spring with warm weather. None the less I found this guy in a flower box in town. Color and rain drops as well as the flowers behind make it work. Good way to start the day.
