Friends

Today two of my friends from Denmark will be visiting me here in Boston, and I am so excited. We will spend half the time they are here in Boston and half in New York. While always leaving room for spontaneity, I have arranged a few things that they definitely have to do while they are here, like seeing a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, going to a rooftop cinema and eating lots of good food.

On another note, I made my second stop-motion film:

4th of July and more

Rob and I spent 4th of July sharing a blanket down by the Charles River, enjoying each others company while watching the amazing firework show that was put on.

And here's a video I found on youtube of the firework (quite long, but it was so beautiful)



On another note, I am really looking forward to seeing this film:




And have already seen and enjoyed these two great films:





(Both have great soundtracks by the way)

And on a third note, I really like this performance

Also, I watched

My first ever attempt at stop-motion

I've had this idea for a short stop-motion film for ages: a love story between a shoelace and a shoe. I hadn't made it until now as I'd never tried stop-motion before, and wasn't sure if I could even do it. But then this morning I decided to just do it, and so I did.

Hope you are all enjoying summer!

France

I just got back from two amazing weeks in France with Rob, one spent in the city of love and one by the ocean on the westcoast. I like to mix city and country on holidays, it brings about different paces, impressions and experiences. In Paris we spent most of our time walking around the streets of Paris, eating good food, drinking wine and being in the good company of friends and family. On the west coast we spent a lot of time riding bikes, lying on the beach reading, drinking wine, and playing cards in our hut. I brought lots of great memories and moments back with me.

It is funny being back in Boston though, as the weather here is much warmer than in was in France; it almost feels like we're getting a second holiday.

Here are some digital photos from our time.
