scenes from a day

what follows are scenes from my day. i got up at 5:45 a.m. and headed for oslo. see if you can tell when i started using the new nikon D300 that came with my new job. i'll admit, it's pretty good work if you can get it...

shots on the metro
love the double-exposure feel caused by lights in the tunnel and the reflection
you KNOW i had to go there
venti latte
i want!
love!
glossy magazines
norli bookstore

i leave you with the shocking fact that 530 container vessels are laid up around the world. that means taken out of use and "parked" in a fjord or bay or anchorage somewhere. that's a serious lotta vessels and even more containers!  this GEC is scary stuff.

more tomorrow evening when i get home.

ASIDE:  to be honest, i'm not sure you can tell from these particular pictures when i switched cameras...but the location should give it away. i was sneaking a lot of the D300 pix, so i wasn't always looking through the viewfinder or holding still. the proof will show eventually tho'. and the camera feels AMAZING in my hands.

  2. You're like a triple threat: now I have a case of wanderlust, complicated by a serious blast of shoe lust (WTF were those shoes!?!) and topped with a new bout of camera envy.

    But I have to say that first pic of the tunnel was way cool and of course I had to laugh at the Starbuck pic. You're my girl.

  5. there is a problem with the shoes--they cost 4200NOK, which is about $560. i can totally see paying that for boots, but shoes? hmm...

  7. New job + new camera + starbucks in sight (since you don't have them on every corner) = perfect reason for a latte treat.

    Love that you are so excited.

    P.S. I want that dress (and leggings?) Seriously - I would look so good ;)

  8. These photos are amazing. I love the one of the two "women" looking over the railing, and the empty seats. So, so nice. I've said it before, but I believe you are a woman of many talents!
    Love the dress, could break my neck with the shoes!

  9. I love the sculpture hanging over the railing and I'll elbow you out of the way to get to those shoes first. But who am I kidding? I couldn't wear those shoes for more than three minutes.

  10. How ABSOLUTELY GHASTLY that Starbucks is in Norway.

    I want the world to get bigger again. Vive la difference!

  11. I miss traveling and airports - I loved that about my old job. Gorgeous and fun shots - airports are always fun to explore if you have enough time.

  12. clever pup--i was still in copenhagen when i photographed the starbucks. norway is still safe.

    and frankly, it's not ghastly at all. it's heaven.

  13. Some fine images here. Is the double exposure a double exposure or is it photoshopped?
    A great blog to which I shall return.

what is, however, not trendy, is if your comment contains an ad or a link to a spam website. those, like white shoes after labor day, will be deleted.
