This summer the weather has been quirky for us in Skåne, Sweden. It’s been giving us sunshine and showers all in the same day. Taking a day trip to Denmark gave me the same weather and a lot of photo ops. I took lots of pictures and developed some as monochromes.

A plastic bottle filled with mineral oil can really bend the light.
It’s not very often I think about winter in summer but today I did. The reason was while looking for shots in my collection of pics I stumbled on a series of black and white pics. They were taken using an old camphone W810i. The image quality is actually really good when viewing them on a PC screen! The subject manner and composition is for you to determine.
Starting off on the afternoon walk.

The wide country
The sun came up behind the barn and shone on the fields.

ThePhotographer took a trip to Vienna back in 2010. He went to the Freud Museum because it’s kind of fascinating to see how the good doctor lived back then. It is common knowledge that ThePhotographer and the good doctor have the same Alma Mater, sort of. He attended and taught at Clark University in Worcester MA and ThePhotographer has attended UMASS Amherst but not at the same time. Both schools are part of the state run colleges and universities so ipso facto they have the same Alma Mater.
The museum is located at 19 Berggasse and must not be confused with the other Frued Museum in London. This museum is in his old digs. The apartment is filled with furniture, books, photographs and other memorabilia from the time he had his practice there. Enough to make any Freud fanatic weak in the knees.
The proof – Clark University diploma and the chair the good doctor must’ve sat in when treating patients. The most memorable piece of furniture is the couch. As can be seen in the pictures below it’s not very comfy because it is made of iron framing covered with metal sheet! The mind boggles!
The museum is worth the visit because it’s really captivating even though ThePhotographer and the good doctor didn’t share the same major.
As ThePhotographer made his way out down the stairs to the street he noticed that there are still residents in the building. Taking a closer look at the names there was a Kafka living at the same address.
Again – the mind boggles!
ThePhotographer has tested a new app in his Samsung camphone! The app Vignette was updated and just begging to be tested.
The favorite shooting mode turned out to be ‘Strip’. It gives a documentary feel togehter with the ‘Ilford classic black and white’ effect.
Enjoy!
