I'm in a sharing kind of mood which doesnt happen alot, so im gonna pour some egocentric information on to dA and quietly hope that its not completely for nothing.
I recently got accepted to a great photography school in Copenhagen, they dont take alot of students so i feel extremely lucky, excited and scared at the same time. Its gonna be a hard year as they are known for pushing their students to a breaking point, I'd like to think im ready for it but time will tell i guess. For those of you who are interested heres a link to the school, its in danish but theres plenty of images [link]
Ive recently started a blog, with the purpose of chronicling my progress through this next year of photography school. Its a personal project but i would love some feedback [link]
Please take you time to visit the news feature and give it a to make more people notice: [link]
My goal is to put focus on Travelphotography wich i think is some of the most inspirational, educational and beautiful photography theres is and offcourse to inspire people to travel and learn more about this incredible place we share. I hope you enjoy it.
As my second feature in the continents series ive chosen South America. Some might argue that its not a continent in its own right but ive decided to split up the Americas into 3 parts (South America, Central America+Caribbean and North America) simply because they are culturally devided like that
South America has some of the most diverse landscape of any continent spanning over desert, swamplands, rainforest and even gletschers and icebergs in the far south.
Extremely influenced by the colonizations its been through the official languages of the countries stretch from Spanish, Portugese, English, French and surprisingly enough Dutch in Suriname.
It has brought us Capoeira, the Tango, Gabriel Garzía Marquez and the sounds of Samba and Bossa Nova... Dont you feel like going?

With this feature series I hope to shed some light on this amazing planet and the photographers who roam it one continent at a time, starting with the cradle of life: Africa.
In the globalized society we all live in it is amazing how little we actually know about the rest of mother earth. You might think its not important to know the capital of Uganda or the president of South Africa but fact is that involvement in the world will not only broaden your horizons and tickle you travel desire but it will give you a sympathy for the people on the other side of life and maybe even get you out of your chair. A great side effect is that you might realize how beautiful and diverse a planet we inhabit and how well worth a fight it is.
Travelphotography is an overlooked genre here on dA which isnt strange since its a composite of every genre imaginable with the only gathering touch being that its taken somewhere that isnt home, wich makes it hard to look up. Nevertheless it churns out some of the most inspirational, touching and beautiful images there is.

So me and my fantastic boyfriend ~MikkelSommer landed in Copenhagen on May 1st concluding a 5 month trip through 8 nationstates, since then weve been busybees trying to catch up with friends, family, work and living situations. Its been fun and slighty weird arriving back home feeling a little restless and tired at the same time.
Much has happened while we were gone and still things are pretty much the same. Allthough i didnt think travelling would affect my friendships it has made them a hell of alot stronger, wich makes me kinda emotional
The Youthhouse in Copenhagen has been violently shut down wich we found out in Cambodia. Its a great loss for the cityas well as all the people who used it, but to look on the bright side (its not that bright) there will be thousands of happenings, demos and other great stuff going on throughout the summer to support the movement for a selfgoverned youthhouse, wich will propably be tons of fun and might even end up reuniting a polarized youth/BZ/leftish/hippie movement.
Hmm what else i have 44GBs of pictures that i need to work through and hopefully ill begin addin some stuff soon (ive already submitted one pic) my camera is goin of to the repairs wich sucks ass but considering what its been through of dusty bumpy roads and other gruelling stuff its held up pretty well.
Hope everybody is enjoying themselves now that summer is on the way!
