NOH8 Campaign, Copenhagen....

I am typing this when I should be in bed and ready for work after a week holiday. However I just want to share this photo before I finish editing the rest from this lovely day.

A Twitter friend - Thank you Linda - brought this to my attention to go there and I can say I don't regret it one bit. I was a bit nervous, as I had seen some of the photos on the facebook site and wasn't sure what pose I should do and such. There was nothing to worry about, the volenteers said hi, gave some papers to sign regarding the photoshoot, you get the sign on your face or if you have other ideas for the photoshoot and agreed to do this, you can. Then you line up for the photoshoot and it was not too busy when I was there.

Now, as Jeff were giving me the tape on my mouth I totally forgot to tell him I was deaf/heard of hearing, so I showed it to Adam Bouska when he was about to take my photos. He just smiled knowing and give me pointers to the pose for the photos. It went quickly and smootly with a hug in the end and Thank you in sign language, which took me off guard a bit. I got the tape off and smiled back explaining I could talk but not with the tape on.

After a moment of getting together myself, I decided to ask if I could stay and watch Adam do the photoshoot as I wanted to see how he did it and maybe learn something from him. And I learned a lot while getting the chance to talk for a good while with him as well his partner Jeff.

(I have to admit to my horror, I had not looked up who Adam and Jeff were, which I normally do, specially the photographers as I am curious to see what kind of photos they do....Sorry Adam, I learned a lot today as well remember to do it next time... Thank you for your time......as well to you Jeff...)

Anyways,I just got my camera back from repair 2 months later and getting used to it again and I should be in bed by this time (12:30am) as my vacation is over and work calls tomorrow, but till I've edited my humble behind the scenes photos, I want to put this up....

"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...
