Look at the unicorns! Actually Scotland’s national animal, no joke.

As part of my “go out and take pictures once a week”-plan, this Saturday was spent walking around in Edinburgh in the sunny (but windy!) weather. Met a woman I’ve been hoping to meet since I moved here, Elaine Davidson, and got a few photos with her! She was really nice, and so cheerful. So happy to finally have seen her in real life!

Wandered around for a bit before ending up visiting Edinburgh Castle. One thing I love about this city is how there’s treasures everywhere! Beautiful churches on almost every corner, old buildings with the most amazing details, and so many historical places to visit. Also found out that Scotland’s national animal is a unicorn, which is just hilarious! Wish Norway had something more exciting than an elk…like…Spongebob Squarepants or something! That would have been so cool ~dream~.

Got a new phone now, Samsung galaxy SIII, so some of the photos were taken with the phone camera, since the lighting inside many of the buildings at the castle was rather dark, making it impossible for my Nikon lens to get enough light. Don’t think they turned out to bad either.

My days consist of staying at the library reading for my exams, going home late and then going to bed. All my flat mates are at home, so it’s soooo quiet here. Miss having someone to tell me to do the dishes, haha. It’s gonna be so nice to have them back at the end of the week, the flat feels so incomplete without them.

Oh! Also got my old Nikon D50 now, which my flat mate Ellie will be borrowing, so now I’ll get a photo buddy! Yay! Hopefully that will mean more photos and more activity on the blog.

My furry love

 

Oh, how I miss this cat. This amazing, fat and ridiculously weird cat. A cat who loved sleeping in boxes, or on her back, being so fat that she worked as her own pillow. She lived with me, my friend and my sunshine for about two months in Bergen, as a project cat from the Animal Protection Bergen. After two months a nice family adopted her, and now she’s living life like a queen.

I’m back in Bergen at this moment, visiting people before I leave!

Looking back – Sunniva in 08′

I can not believe this shoot with my friend Sunniva is already four years old! This is the first shoot I ever did, and looking back, comparing with my later shoots, this looks very amateur ish (the photos, lighting and editing). It’s fun to look back at these photos, they make me feel like I have some kind of progress in my work. Hoping to get that shoot with Sunniva done this week, before traveling to Bergen for a little while.
