  • Tamil Demonstration in Copenhagen

    Tamil Demonstration in Copenhagen

    7 images

    While visiting Denmark, I stumbled upon this group of people making lots of noise and waving flags. Not being one to let the chance of some excitement pass by, I did exactly what any sane person wouldn't do: I went in, and asked them what was going on.

    Turns out I was witnessing a demonstration of Tamils pleading for Denmark (and the EU) to do something about the genocide taking place in Sri Lanka. They were very kind, and happy to explain their position - it was kinda awkward drawing attention simply because I was the only white guy present :smile:

    These pictures were taken, and are published, with the consent of those organising the demonstration.

    Take a bored photographer, a bag of sand and 80 cents to spend, and a youth of not playing with toy soldiers. The result: Well... this.

    Light was poor, and most animals were behind glass (making photography hard, as most pictures ended up with a ghost-me in it).. only the few I did manage to get a decent shot of ended up here.

    Notes to self: 1. Get a decent zoom-lens. 2. Get a tripod.

    In the never ending quest for finding things to photograph, I've decided to take pictures whenever having cooked up something I'm the slightest bit proud of.. we'll start off with the Gado-gado from a few days ago.

    You may notice that most of the things I cook are vegetarian.. it's the Right Thing.

    My sisters and I visited the Spoorwegmuseum (railway museum) in Utrecht last weekend - one lesson I learned there regarding photography: Indoor photography is difficult! Most shots ended up under- or overexposed, much to the chagrin of my sister.. here's what I managed to salvage.

    This started out as shots of doggies.. but then a horse joined the club.. and some goats. And a sheep. And before I knew it, there was almost an entire petting zoo in the album.

    An album to put all the nice things in that I stumbled across when not looking for anything in particular to capture on film.. err.. compactflash.

    This album contains some pictures I took while experimenting with my camera the night after I first got it. Looking back on it now, a few weeks later, they're not really something I'm proud of.. just keeping them until I need space.

    The rush of the first time going out taking pictures of things.. Overexposing? Motion blur? Hah.. I laughed at these things... looking back, I should have listened to my mom and become a lumberjack.
