The nicest thing about travelling is meeting people. So, this week I
cheat a bit by presenting some images taken last week, and some the week
before in Copenhagen.
On a Danish LUGger's recommendation, when I was in Copenhagen earlier
this month, I paid a visit to a camera shop in a residential
neighbourhood on the outskirts of the centre. The owner, Mr. Jørgen
Lybæck, was a real pleasure to meet. He is staunchly on the analogue
side of photography, although he does have a few token digital P&S
cameras in the window. He has what is probably Scandinavia's largest
Leica collection, with 125 various M cameras; and he has a real passion
for what he does. It is always great to meet people like that. He looked
approvingly at the 50mm Summilux I had on my 20D when I entered his
shop, although I changed lenses for this environmental portrait of him:

The second portrait is of 4-year old Natalia, the daughter of my
childhood friend in Copenhagen. We were in a Greek restaurant where
children are given coloured pens and encouraged to draw on the
disposable tablecloth:

As always when I am in Copenhagen, I went downtown to Nyhavn, the bar
street along a canal. Here are a couple of women apparently engaged in a
serious conversation over a beer:

and here are a couple of guys doing more or less the same, although they
look a lot less serious, more like bums:

BTW, this picture shows why I like digital: it is shot at ISO 1600. I
never got results like this with colour film of this speed.
And to round it off, three more of my cyclist pictures, taken last
weekend in Utrecht. First, a pretty cyclist:

Then, a chubby cyclist:

and finally, an overloaded cyclist:
