Back again!

 

Ten months has gone by since my last post, and time has sure flown by! I decided to enjoy my time as a new mom, and dedicated all my time that. Unread magazines piled up, no new blogposts were written, only a few new furnitures was made, and hardly anything new was done on the house 

(incredible how much time these little ones take...). Now, my daughter is nine months, and I feel that it is time to do a little bit of "my stuff".  Now it is back to work, reading magazines and searching for new inspiration :-).

Spring is here and a couple of weeks ago I "unpacked" all my gardening gear, pots and outdoor furnitures, and went to the nursery to buy some plants. Here´s the result!

My porch

 

During the spring and summer months, in between renovating the house, photographying, photoshopping and whatnot, I spend as much time as I can on my wonderful porch. There, surrounded by lovely greens and my old nicknack, I am totally at peace. 

After a cold winter, it is now time to get my garden gloves and my things from the loft, and get the porch ready for yet another wonderful season.

Abandoned houses

Jeg har alltid drømt om å få boltre meg med kameraet i slike hus, men desverre finnes svært få av dem her. I hvertfall noen som er trygge å gå inn i... Hus eller bygninger, hvor noen bare har vridd om nøkkelen (eller bedre, latt døren stått åpen for meg!), gått og aldri sett seg tilbake. De har mange historier å fortelle og gjør seg yndige som fotoobjekter. For ikke å snakke om fantastiske kulisser til alle typer fotografering. Så vakkert at det gjør vondt!

I have always dreamed of finding a place like this, where I can go berserk with my camera. Unfortunately there are not too many of them where I live. Houses or buildings, where people has turned the key (or better, left the door open for me!), walked away and never looked back. These houses tell so many stories and make great photo objects. Not to talk about fantastic backdrops for all kinds of photoshoots. So beautiful it hurts!

Bedroom talk

Siden jeg er inne på soverom (bokstavelig talt!), se så enkelt, lyst og vakkert! Har foreløpig satset på en litt tyngre look her jeg er, men tror jeg må forandre litt på det. Ut med alle de mørke møblene, frem med en bøtte hvitmaling og på med skoddene.

Since I am in to bedrooms (and in one right now...), look how simple, light and beautiful this one is! Has gone for a more darker look where I am at right now, but think I have to redo. Out goes all my dark furniture and in with comes a bucket of white paint and some shutters.

Friday lunch

Det er viktig å få i seg nok næring mellom malings strøkene :-)

It is very important to get enough nutrition in between the layers of paint :-)

Gabrielle Kai photography

Oppdaget denne flinke fotografen her om dagen. Elsker fargene og stemningen i bildene hennes, og ikke minst hennes gode øye for detaljer. Flere av hennes stemningsfulle bilder finner du her.

Found this great photographer the other day. Just love the mood, colours, and her great eye for details! You can see more of her wonderful work here.

Flickr inspiration

Jeg elsker foto collager! Det samme gjør russiske Sasha Charikova, alias Sunniest. Hver uke samler hun bilder hun liker og setter dem sammen til de nydeligste collager, som hun deler med oss på flickr.

I love photo collages! So does Russian Sasha Charikova, alias Sunniest. Every week she search the net for images she likes, and make the greatest collages that she shares with us on flickr.

Wonderful spring!

Deilig vår med deilig vær!

Wonderful spring with wonderful weather!

Lens flare

Tiden da de små heftene som fulgte med fotoapparatene opplyste om at du alltid skulle ha solen i ryggen når du fotograferte er passé. Nå er alt lov!

Så ikke vær redd, hev kameraet mot solen og fyr løs. Det eneste du bør huske på er å lukke opp en blender eller to.

Lykke til!

The time when the camera manuals told you to have the sun behind you while photographing is over. Now, everything is permitted . So don´t be afraid, stick that camera into the sun and fire! The only thing you should remember is to open up your f-stop a step or two.

Good luck!

Rain rain rain...

Etter altfor mange dager foran dataskjermen, skriker hodet og kroppen etter frisk luft. Ute bøtter det ned og regntøyet er pakket bort et eller annet sted...

Når jeg var liten elsket jeg å bade i regnet (om sommeren vel å merke...). Legge seg ned på den varme asfalten og plaske løs. Kanskje litt tidlig på året til noe slik nå, men må si det frister. Kan i hvertfall gå ut og hoppe litt i vanndammene...

My head is desperate for some fresh air after spending too many days in front of the computer. It is raining heavily outside and my rain gear is stored somewhere...

When I was little, I used to love running in the rain (that was in the summer, of course). Maybe a little bit too cold for this now, but have to say that I am really tempted. I guess jumping around in the puddles will take away my "cravings".

A grey day!

Da jeg våknet på mandag var ikke dagen blå, men grå- bokstavelig talt. Det som var vakkert var at det var rim på trærne. Måtte jo bare ta frem kamera og forevige den magiske stemningen...

When I woke up Monday morning the day wasn´t blue, but grey-literally speaking. The beautifulness about it was the frost on the branches. I just had to get my camera out and capture this magic moment...

Roser

Jeg har en nydelig rosebusk utenfor verandaen min med hundrevis av rosa blomster fra vår til langt utpå høsten. Da jeg så på den i går og synes den så litt stusselig ut, men da jeg tok frem kamera ble det stusselige til noe helt vakkert!
