The End

Thank you, 2009. You were so good to me.

Clean Living

These photos show spaces that are as minimal as I could get. I generally feel more at home surrounded by odd trinkets and totems that I have collected over the years.

Røvig

Image taken from a locally-published book on the old houses of Røvig, showing pictures of the house where my mother was born and my grandmother was raised. We are headed up there to quietly celebrate the New Year, amongst the pine & sand dunes.

Christmas

I wish I could find a copy of Christmas Story, but I don't think it ever came to Denmark. It's too bad, because Ralphie looks like a dorkier version of my beloved when he was a boy.

Knud Rasmussen's Photos

Photographs on display at Knud Rasmussen's house. I am not sure if it is he who took them, or if it was another photographer on the same expedition.

Knud Rasmussen's House

Across the fjord from my mother's summerhouse is the town of Hundested. On a clear day, on the highest hill, you can see the final home of Knud Rasmussen, the "father of Eskimology". It is a beautiful place(these photos do not begin to capture, as we were on a long bicycle ride and I only had my pocket digital) and worth a trip to visit if you are ever in Denmark and are into this sort of thing.

Snowfall

Snow is coming, and I'm excited for it.

A Natural History Of The Senses

One of my favorite books of all times, it caused me to ingest life more fully. If you haven't read it, go buy it. You won't regret it.

The Life Aquatic

When All Else Is Grey...

Heath Ceramics

I love Heath Ceramics, however, I figured I would find a good replacement here in Copenhagen. Since I have yet to find that, I will continue to pine from afar.

It's funny how much joy can come from a well-made mug, nestled morning after morning in your hand, so warm on a cold winter morning.

Kensington Blues

This is Jack Rose, who I just heard for the first time this morning. He just passed away. What a gift he shared!

Never Mind The Guy.....

... it is the apartment that catches my eye. The carpet! The signage! The industrial furniture!
