While we were waiting for the snow, you downloaded a few rainbows.

Sometimes I take photos because I’m drawn to the colors.
These two are a good example of that. The subject matter isn’t all that interesting really. It’s the color that fascinated me.

A few more photos from my atelier on the Erikastrasse.
The lovely tile in the second photo was screenprinted by the ever so talented Alexandra Hedberg.
And some music to start your week out right, Beirut playing a Tiny Desk Concert.

How to take a vertical photo? Turn the camera 90 degrees.
These are the instructions in one of my vintage camera manuals.
Somehow it’s not that simple for me.
I got stuck a while back in the horizontal mode and turning the camera 180 degrees is suddenly a big deal.
In 2012 I’d like to try to change that. Let’s start here with a photo from Erikastrasse 11, my sweet little atelier that I share with the amazing, Laura Jurt.

Maybe you’ve been here yourself? It’s not that things aren’t going well, it’s just that there’s not too much in focus these days…

I couldn’t help but stop when I saw these hanging in a little floral atelier in my neighborhood. In my next life I might like to be a florist…
A song to go with the photos: From the Morning Heat by Craft Spells

Fruit and vegetables outdoors in winter…they always make me shiver when I walk by. I think they must be so cold.
And that little bowl is such a strange combination, isn’t it? That bowl is a rotation of unusual combinations. It can be found at Elisaburg.

My favorite version of winter is cold and bright.
If I don’t have to go into the office on those precious days, then you’ll find me out of doors with a camera or two.
