Here’s a couple of shots I took on the move.
One is a bull that I might use as an inspirational piece for Dry Spot or Ariadne (there’s a lot of cross referencing all across the book)

The other just struck me as funny the way it forms a Venus from Willendorf-like figure in the formal language of emotica. I guess it’s a shape that fascinates across the millennia, which just fuels my pictorial fundamentalisms

I have passed the old railroad hotel by Copenhagen Central more often than I can count, but not until I was well into my work on the Astoria sessions did I notice that it was an Astoria hotel.

The signs are beautiful, late Art Deco (-influenced?) rising against the usually drab Danish sky, and the winged wheel that was the logo of then-national Danish railways balances one end of the roof like a 12 feet, concrete hood ornament.

It goes without saying that I went right past those and photographed the tacky secondfloor neon sign instead

My older sister is just returned from South Africa, and along with loads of pictures of the wildlife, she brought home an unusual souvenir that vaguely fits this blog.
Pictured below is a bag made out of two vinyl records and some material inn between. Not exactly how I’d treat discarded records, but it’s a nice bag!
