Yearly Archives: 2015

2015 in Pictures

Some time ago I was challenged by fellow Nordic X-Photographer Palle Schultz to post my 10 best pictures of the year on Facebook, which you can see here if you have an account. I’ve never done a year-end recap before this, but finding those pictures brought back some key moments from my year that I would like to share.…More

The Fujinon XF 35mm F2 | A Lens With A Certain Flare

I’ve had the new XF 35mm F2 lens from Fujifilm on loan for the last month, while Flemming and I were in Colombo, Sri Lanka. There’s nothing quite like taking new gear (to say nothing of the mind) for a spin in a fresh destination. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this lens. Plenty has been written about what…More

It never rains…

This is our last day in Colombo, and the weather gods are unhappy. It’s been pouring over the couple of days, owing an atmospheric disturbance off the western coast. “The highest reported rainfall since 2005 brings a cascade of rain causing many areas in the Colombo city to come to a standstill. The havoc caused with the…More

Train | Colombo, Sri Lanka

I daresay that when I finally had the dosh to get myself a real camera, all those years ago, I wanted to make pictures like this: of someone drawing the light around herself with such magnetism that mundane objects are lifted on that glamour, time stops, and I find myself wanting to go and ask her…More

Train station textures

I have made the train journey from Copenhagen to Hannover and back several times in the past couple of years. Before this, I’d not travelled long distances on trains. I’m still in the thrall of this novelty – the iron clack of wheels (dampened in new trains), the ellipsis-and-comma rhythm of its motion, and time’s held…More

A book at a time

(Above: the stunning geometry of Seattle Public Library) I await my new Kindle with excitement (thank you, my love). I have been without one for a while and reading on the Kindle app in my phone, which is slow and unstable, means that not much reading happens. When it arrives, it will be the 4th Kindle I’ve…More

Waiting for the bus

I was very kindly loaned the new Fujinon XF 35mm f2 by Fujifilm Singapore some weeks ago. I’ve been testing it out over the last few weeks, expecting it to be a slower version of the beloved 35mm f1.4, but it’s turning out to be quite a different beast, both performance-, optics- and general use-wise.…More

Urban geometry

The pyramid shape is said to hold many secrets and amazing properties. One of them is a sense of wonder. – Vera Nazarian I’d been out walking for some hours that afternoon, and by the time I caught the LRT, I was spent. The air-conditioned (thank the gods!) LRT was a relief from the heat and humidity. As I…More
