Arnold Schwarzenegger stopping by Copenhagen, Denmark

So Wednesday late evening I read on Danish news website that Arnold Schwarzenegger was stopping by Copenhagen today, both to do signing for his new book though most importantly for giving a prize later for an event he supported.

I went in there just thinking I would take a peak and see how it looked like, would it be impossible to get a photo or was it durable. I arrived in Copenhagen in lovely fall weather and saw to my surprise the que had already formed and a long one. It was to be a whole lot longer than the book store who held the signing at the hotel had accounted for, at all. At one point they had to stop the line in order to get more of Arnold's book that people had to buy if they wanted his signature - that if they hadn't already bought the book before.

On a funny note, almost every press folk were trying to get inside, but unless you were on the list or known by the right people, sorry stay outside. And for once I had got a ok spot to wait by - another press photographer was a tad annoyed as he wanted my spot he really couldn't  move me as we stood outside where it was fair game for all of us.

That said, Arnold came a bit earlier than planed, he was actually behind schedule. He was to do the signing from 5pm to 6pm, but arrived around 4:15pm and went straight inside the hotel to start signing which he did till around 5:30ishpm I think. He did take a brief moment to sign a book or two outside before he drove off for the event he was there for.

"The Danish Girl" in Copenhagen, Denmark....

Image
So a long while back this year, the filming of the movie "The Danish Girl" took place in Copenhagen, Denmark and I found them filming in a very popular area. At a place called Nyhavn, where not only a lot of Danish people go to during summer time, but also a lot of turist will walk around this area. The only minus on those two days I watched and took photos from the filming was, it was rather cold and dull, yet a bit of sun would shine through. So a lot of respect not only for the crew, actors but also the extras providing as background for the actorts... It was really a treat to see a very large area of Nyhavn transformed into an older Copenhagen harbour as well the customes the extras wore. I was to be an extra in this movie but was not chosen, so I was happy to see the filming and take photos instead. I talked with some of the people who had their boats lined up for the movie at the harbour - the other boats which usually is there had been moved away and replaced with olde...

High Line - New York, 2013

Image
This is the last part of the train tracks which provided New York with food, which is now preserved and called "The High Line". You should allow yourself time to walk this place, specially doing spring/summer time, I can imagine it must be beautiful right now.... also this is another way of walking in New York above the streets..... there is even plenty of seats around the line, where you can sit down for a moment if you want to... or go up there before it closes and see the evening light.... You can read more about the project to preserve these last track here:  http://www.thehighline.org/ Here a few photos of my own....

"Forbrydelsen" / "The Killing" season 3, episode 7....

Image
So this past Sunday I was all set to watch the 7th episode of the Danish version of "The Killing" / "Forbrydelsen" season 3, episode 7. - Don't worry, no spoilers will be told here, so you can read if you like... The reason I was particularly interessted in this episode is, I was an extra back in April, 2012 where funny enough I was to be a photographer too. Now I can't tell much about what's happening in case you haven't seen it, however I can tell I didn't make that much camero moment in the scene, if you know where to look, you can see some of my camera and top of my head, however here you can see what it looked like from my point of view.... we were there for a few hours and the clip ended up being like 3-6 seconds long, so not that much of the scene were used in the episode. It was still interessting to be there as I haven't even seen the other seasons of the series. I can't wait to see the next episode the coming Sunday. Remembe...
