A late Christmas for the Utzon House

In the city of Aalborg we have our bit of Jørn Utzon, the famous danish architect behind the Sidney Opera House. In little Aalborg in Denmark we have his last piece of splendid arhcitecture, decorating the harbour front. From wikipedia:

The Utzon Center in AalborgDenmark, was the last building to be designed by Jørn Utzon, the architect behind the Sydney Opera House. In collaboration with his son Kim who provided the final construction drawings, he planned the centre not as a museum but as a place where students of architecture could meet and discuss their ideas for the future.[1] Located on the Limfjord waterfront in the city where Utzon spent his childhood, the building was completed in 2008, the year Utzon died.

This Christmas, it was decided to spread a little Christmas mood, so red projectors was installed on the roof in December 2019 to spread a little Christmas joy. And in my opinion it looks awesome 🙂 at least from a photographers perspective. A little bit of long exposure of 2 different evenings, one with Fujifilm X-100f (The first two) and Fujifilm X-T2 (The last 3)

Photo walk i Noerresundby

Was out recently with a photo buddy, to make some good use of a quiet saturday with great weather (Sun and good weather have been in great demand this gray wet winter) , in my hometown of Noerresundby, Denmark. There was no plan, just get out and shoot some pictures.

I was shooting both my medium format Bronica SQ-AI and my trusty Fujifilm X100f. The shots in this small gallery is all from the X100F, the shots from the Bronica, will come at some point 🙂 Thats the good and bad thing about analog photography, it takes the time it takes, and thats fine with me. The pictures are most suburban architecture. P.S i really like old decayed places 🙂

Vaerket – Street art gallery in decay – Kentmere 400

A little look at the local street art gallery in Nørresundby where i live, that closed a couple of years ago, and since have gone very much down hill sadly, but still very photogenic in my eyes. Guessing it will be torn down soon. I found the following description of the site online, it only reached to be open a year or so i think, before it became to hazardous. But there was some spectacular street art in that short intense period.

Since we opened in August of 2016, Værket has continued to offer street artists a creative space to experiment, refine and showcase their craft for the community. Sheltered from the elements, in the heart of Nørresundby, guests can always expect something new upon every visit. Through MAK:VRK, Værket is able to offer courses and workshops, in our open facilities, where anyone with an idea and a spray can are welcome to try your hands at spray painting. A truly unique space for those who finds themselves interested in experiencing the local street art culture

This is the first series i shot some weeks ago, but just got around to developing now. Its shot on my Nikon F4 + 50mm 1.8+ Kentmere 400 which is my favourite budget BW film. It goes great with this kind of scenarie, where things are close.

I just did a follow up session in color with my medium format Bronica SQ-Ai, that i will post in a couple of weeks, when i get it developed 🙂

Urban exploring

So its time for a reboot of this blog, its now dedicated to my hobby, which is photography, both film and digital. Lets see if i can keep it up, the pace that is. I have been doing photography for almost 4 years now, so thought it was time to have a place to share what i do.

Recently i was out with a friend, doing some exploring of abandoned places, and we found some great places in my hometown of Aalborg, Denmark. This is the analog part of it, also shot some digital, which i will post later on.

All shots in the gallery taken with the Nikon F4 + 50mm f1.8+ Kentmere 400 film. Home developed in HC 110, and home scanned on Epson V550
