Lately

13 March, 2013


I have to admit something. This big city is for me, not the most inspiring place to take pictures. Usually everything seems so unaffected and unemotional to me. But that being said, not a day goes by without me searching for its charm. Right now I see vintage bicycles and rustic walls, and I like how they are so different here than from Europe. I see fresh vegetables for a quarter of the prices that we have in Norway.


Oh, and I forgot to mention one more important thing: the cafes. Both with their cozy interiors and their magnificent, elaborate dishes. They can only be found in this abundance here in New York. I would start feeling sad about going back to Norway in a couple of days. But if everything works out right I'll be back in New York in April! I'll give you the details when everything is certain.

Recently I also rediscovered this gem of a blog that makes me want to visit Paris in an instant.

  2. I'd love to have more "american style" cafes here, in Europe. I live in Italy, and beside the beliefs and stereotyps there is lack of cozy cafes where you can sit and enjoy your hot beverage and good conversation with friend. Mostly of them even haven't a table, just a bar. If by miracle you find something more cozy than a bar, you might pay an extracharge for sitting and using a table.

    Thanks for sharing your american life bits :)

  3. I always wish and crave for new cafes here in Porto,i get tired of going to the same places all the time and i can always spot what could been made for the cafe be a better spot or food,ahaha
    I think i can understand what you say about not feeling affected by the city to take photos...i feel that a lot at home and the 'usual places where i take more pictures,like i go all numb and can see beauty anywhere!

  8. The mood of these photos is just lovely — it makes me miss New York so much. Wandering around East Village in the summer is one of my favorite things to do. I do hope you are enjoying the NYC transition to spring.

    Oh, and I am glad you found Christine! She is a constant inspiration.
