9387

2010-07-28T20:32:00.000+02:00

We took a road trip home, from France to Sweden, and on our way we stopped in Omaha Beach.
Thousands and thousands of graves facing the sea.
I felt really small, and without a cause.

Le Mont Saint- Michel

They say when you love, you have to make compromises,

well for me it was to go to Mont St Michel with my boyfriend.

Midsommar

2010-06-25T22:15:00.002+02:00

This year i celebrated Midsommar with my boyfriend and his friends,
having a very traditional swedish meal, sitting on a big rock, at sunset, facing the archipelago.
and if you forget about the meatballs, potatoes, sill, and gräddfil.. you can actually have a good time :)

Birthday Girl + Dream Boyfriend

2010-05-16T23:08:00.000+02:00

= a weekend in heaven !

This saturday, it was my birthday.
I knew my boyfriend had planned something for a month.
I asked and asked and asked "le cadeau ! le cadeau ! le cadeau !"
but he didn't tell me what it was before saturday at noon !
And i must say it was worth waiting !! it was a weekend at a Japanese Spa away in the archipelago !!

we wore kimonos, ate fresh fruits, slept in a japanese room, had the best dinner ever,

we swam,

the best part was the very hot bath outdoors, such a cocoon for your body, and so fresh for your face and lungs !

I felt so happy and so spoiled, i almost forgot i turned 27 ! ( 27 ! äkligt ! )

Glass House

2009-12-27T21:10:00.005+01:00

Yesterday i went to Bergianska Trädgården , a wonderful glass house they have in Stockholm.

I'm usually not a candle person..

2009-11-10T09:18:00.001+01:00

but i must admit these days, i light dozens of candles every night..
it might be because of all the sad events that happend..
or maybe because i am sick as a dog,with fever and asthma, 2 days before i have to fly to France, to my brother's wedding ?!
(and so i'm missing my new swedish class, and i force myself to go to work..)

but i am not complaining, i am very positive, and try everything i can, with my best auto medication talent my mom gave me ;)
(liters of green tea, apple juice, vitamin C, magnesium, lavender essencial oil.. )

Forever is a long long time..

2009-07-29T11:58:00.001+02:00

i miss my boyfriend !!!

2008-06-25T23:10:00.000+02:00

Today i tried one of the new cameras SX 70.
(The brown one, "Paindépice")

There was a parade in Cph, and i wanted to rush to be able to catch it, so i forgot to set up the shutter... and the picture came out all over exposed :( but i kinda like it :) i will pay more attention next time..

2 new cameras !!

2008-06-24T02:32:00.000+02:00

My teacher Brennan brought me 2 Polaroid Cameras SX 70, that he got from his dad Sidney, who is a clockmaker in London ! i can't wait to try them !! but i wait to have something really special to shoot :)
I called them "Paindépice" (the brown one, from pain d'épices, gingerbread) and Apelsin (Orange in swedish :)

Little Walk

2008-06-16T00:46:00.000+02:00

I am back in Denmark, and today i took a little walk in my neighbourhood, and i found the mosaic :)

France : Garden & Sea Side

2008-06-09T20:10:00.000+02:00

I was in France in my family for few days, i was so busy i dind't get the time to take more than 2 polaroids :S

Sunny day

2008-05-19T00:11:00.000+02:00

The sun is back in Copenhagen, and the light is so strong ! (the sun rises at 3:40 AM and sets at 10:50 PM !)

so i went for a walk with my friend Monika, in the private houses areas of Frederiksberg. So many huge houses..

Take me Home !

2008-04-03T19:21:00.001+02:00

I left home 2 years ago, and since then, i keep looking for a place to live.
A place to feel home. But didn't find it yet.

So i had this idea about a world wide art project, simply called "A Home for Alice", (Alice that's me of course :) where people would send me via POST mail a polaroid picture of their house, along with a little text about why they feel HOME there.

All the pictures will be displayed, along with their text, on the blog.

if you wish to be part of this project, all you have to do is sending me 3 things :

1) a frontal POLAROID picture of the facade of your house,
with NOTHING written ON it !
BUT at the BACK, your first name and location :)

2) on a paper, a little text, like 10 lines, about your home, and why you feel home there (it will be showed with your picture at the exhibition ! so make it pretty !)

3) on a second paper, your mail, myspace or Facebook..., so i can remind who is who :)
and an authorization signed from you that tells me i am allowed to publish/display your picture.

send everything to:

"A Home for Alice"
26 rue Claude Bernard
44 600 Saint Nazaire
FRANCE

(that's my home address, cause otherwise i am moving all the time, and changing address..)

if you have any question or to obtain more information about the project, you can mail me at :

ahomeforalice@gmail.com

on myspace :

myspace.com/ahomeforalice

on Facebook :

A Home for Alice

At the end of the project, all the best pictures will be collected to become a book, that will relate the whole adventure.

More Houses (for Alice :)

2008-03-16T22:05:00.000+01:00

Today i went to Amager, and took some more picture of houses.
I crossed people leaving their house, coming back home, or just having a walk in the area, and they all looked at me, (me and my two cameras) very weirdly, as if i was intruding their privacy, but common, it's not like i was taking pictures of their house or something ! eeh wait.. yes it's it ;)

i am always scared to receive one day,a message of someone saying "hey !! this is my house on this picture, you stalker freak !!"

Polaroid's first publication !

2008-03-12T18:28:00.000+01:00

An article has been published in FLURO issue n°3, a magazine from New Zeland :D

if you click on the pic you'll be abble to read the article :)

it's too bad it's in black and white though, and that they never sent me any issue as they promised. But Zoë, a myspace friend, was sweet enough to offer to send me 5 copies !! plus a kind letter and a polaroid ! That was so nice of her <3
She runs a street style page in wellington : Steet Sweep

Tourist in my own town

2008-03-02T01:30:00.000+01:00

This week my cousin was here in Copenhagen for a week, so we visited every place in town :)

The weather was quite bad, but to have nice puddles you need rain :)

We went to Nyhavn

And of course, to see the Little Mermaid

Botanic Garden, Copenhagen

2008-02-29T19:27:00.000+01:00

I went to the Botanic Garden this friday. They have a huge glasshouse, in the shape of several round rooms. Every room displays a different type of plants, so the temperature and atmosphere changes from a room to another :)

People are actually allowed to climb those stairs, it was very scary/nice to clim up there, and have a overview of the whole room.

In this area, as soon as i pushed the door, the most wonderful smell made every single breezing magic. it smelled like bergamot orange, vanilla, passion fruits... paradise !

Stockholm

2008-02-22T18:35:00.000+01:00

This week i was in Stockholm for a few days

i visited the city really intensely, i wanted to see it all.

here is a church in Södermalm

on the university campus, i saw the brightest sunset of my whole life, it was so extremely luminous and orange, really intense.

i was staying in Lindingö, a little town 15mn away from Stockholm, so close to the city, but really like in the countryside already, with the sea, and little colorful houses, precious, the perfect place to live.

Bad Polroid Day

2008-01-07T01:45:00.000+01:00

Today i took two pictures, both bad.

that's too bad cause this one was in a restaurant where they call you when your food is ready, "food for snakes !" or "food for zebras !" :) and here on the wall it said "Do not feed the animals" haha

and after dinner i went to see The Darjeeling Limited by Wes Anderson, and the room was just so David Lynch, but it came out very bad on picture...

well at least it was a very good day :)

Polaroid saved my day :)

2007-11-27T05:56:00.001+01:00

Today could have been a shity boring day, but thanks to my Polaroid camera, it wasn't.
i took this one on my way to school

And after school, i took the bus to town and stoped by the lakes to catch the 16:30 sunset

In my flat

2007-11-24T04:34:00.000+01:00
