Amiga Summit 91 - Memory Lane #1:

My parents are moving from my childhood home. There is no postponing it any longer: I need to clean out the last of my stuff. You know, the stuff that is somehow allowed to lurk in the back of bottom drawers and in the darkest corners of old closets. Since moving everything to my own house and storing it here for another 30 years is not an option, my strategy for dealing with this is (of course) photograph and throw away.

I've decided to post a series of these "Memory Lane" photos here - I'm betting that at least one or two of the photos I've planned will take you back to days forgotten.

This first shot is an image of a cap from an event I helped organize: The Static Bytes and Prologic Amiga Summit of 1991. Actually when I think of it I didn't really organize all that much. but I did participate. And I did wear one of these beauties.
Those not in the know may refer to this and related articles. For those who want more of this kind of nostalgia can check out Scene.org and if you're so inclined yo may even download a slideshow with photos from Amiga Summit '91 (thank God it's in some long forgotten Amiga format, so no-one will be able to se these pictures) or the winning demo and other demo-releases from the event.

Four Men and Two Boys: A shot from a recent walk on the beach near Esbjerg, Denmark. The two boys came for a date with their girlfriends. The four white men just sat there. By the way the sculptures aptly named "Mennesket ved havet" (The Human by The Sea) are created by Svend Wiig Hansen. They stand 9 metres tall looking out onto the North Sea.

Apartment in High Key: We're moving. Bought a house. Need to hand off our apartment. So I went around to the place yesterday to shoot some photos. Partly to have something to keep for posterity. But mainly to get photos for the "Apartment for sale"-microsite. So if you're looking to buy an apartment in central Aarhus, Denmark (or if you simply want to see more high key apartment photos) you could do worse than check out the website.

Viborgvej nuked: Thought I'd try to get the best of both worlds - dark sky and white ground. Not too sure about the result, I think it looks a little "overcooked". [new photo posted on the Mads Pedersen PHOTOBLOG]

The Number Two: This photo was shot in the town of Sæby in northern Jutland, Denmark. In the old part of town most buildings have these characteristic yellow walls, the colour of which I have tried to accurately match on this shot. [new photo posted on the Mads Pedersen PHOTOBLOG]

CON AMORE: Cracked Sticker:

My friends and fellow photobloggers, Janus and Christoffer, have just launched a series of joint posts from a recent photoshoot in my hometown, Aarhus (Denmark). A quote from Chris explains it best:


Mr. Kohl Andersen and I have both read the book "København Con Amore" by Danish authors Søren Ulrik Thomsen and Jokum Rohde, and we were very fascinated by its photographic (as well as textual) description of a certain side to Copenhagen, a side that's slowly eroding and being replaced by "new" stuff.

So we set out - on a freezing cold December day - to find the "old" side of Århus, a side that proved very difficult to locate, although we managed to spot in in a few places. Of course, we only spent a day, whereas Rohde and Thomsen spent months and years conducting their "urban-archaelogical" study of Copenhagen.


Unfortunately I couldn't join them on their "urban-archaelogical"-expedition. But I'm proud to give you links to both their sites, and chip in with a little something that I thought of when I saw their first image. Please visit the photoblogs of Christoffer Jon Sinnbeck and Janus Kohl Andersen today and for the rest of this week to check out their work.

Giolitti: This photo is from what is probably one of the best (certainly one of the busyist) ice cream parlours in Rome. Yum yum! [new photo posted on the Mads Pedersen PHOTOBLOG]

Sun and Cigarette: A little something to consider: Clearly the "Hey Mister, can I take your picture?"-approach would have ruined this shot completely. As a rule, I think candid shots in public places are ok. What do you think? [new photo posted on the Mads Pedersen PHOTOBLOG]

Industrial Love: I'm not quite sure why this door is three steps up from the ground. I found this location on an early morning walk on the industrial harbour here in Aarhus. Just goes to prove you can find love in the most unlikely places. [new photo posted on the Mads Pedersen PHOTOBLOG]

Railway Sunset: This photo was taken on a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway back in 2003. I can't remember the name of the station, but it could have been Omsk or Novosibirsk. It only took the sun a few minutes to set. I stood on the the platform and the light just grew more beautiful by the minute. I must have taken 20 or 30 shots thinking "it can't possibly get any better than this". This one was is my favorite. [new photo posted on the Mads Pedersen PHOTOBLOG]

Piazza della Rotonda: The first image is up at my brand new photoblog. Thanks A LOT to Chris for letting me essentially (actually completely) copy his code and style. This first image is from Piazza della Rotonda in Rome, right next to the most impressive Pantheon. I love the texture and colours of this wall. [new photo posted on the Mads Pedersen PHOTOBLOG]
