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.

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.
