Travel Day + Arriving In Mullsjo

-
I started yesterday morning by heading to the St. Marien-Dom Cathedral for Sunday Mass. Hearing the voices of the church singing together was wonderful, it added another level of beauty to the sacred space. After Mass we regrouped to hit a local cafe for some much needed caffeine and then went our separate ways to explore a bit more of the city.




I wanted to visit another cathedral before we left, so Nat, Meg, and I went to St. Peter's Church.



Shortly afterwards, we went back to Kunst und Gewerbe to walk through some of the exhibits we missed the first time around, and saw some old friends there!




Our flight from Hamburg to Gothenburg was one of the shortest I'd ever been on at a whopping 55 minutes, but the view was gorgeous the entire way!



We hit a Swedish Mcdonald's on the way to our homebase in Mulljso where I got some spicy nugs with Korean BBQ sauce. Not what I was expecting but definitely not complaining!


I spent the rest of the day rearranging my dorm and unpacking my tiny suitcase to give my space a bit of Eli ✨️pizzazz✨️ before conking out for the night.


Enjoying the Burg-Hopping,

Final Darkroom Photos

These are a few of the finished photos I shot and developed in the darkroom. Learning the process was tedious but rewarding! It typically takes 15 minutes to develop a single print, so every second counts and mistakes are almost as costly as the printing paper. Planning on scanning these later, Eli Goodwin

Group Shenanigans #2

More photos of the group and I during our free time! Later in the day we stumbled across a German street festival, so of course we had to check it out. We were able to catch the tail end of a concert by a German band called Liebe Leudde where they were performing covers of popular American songs like Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. Not sure exactly what vibe they were going for but they had us absolutely gob-smacked. We were able to get really close to the front of the crowd, too! Resting up before we head to Sweden, Eli Goodwin

Kunsthalle

Miraculous artwork awaited us at the Hamburg Kuntshalle this morning when we ventured in! Both sculpture work and paintings alike were purposefully placed within the halls and along the walls for us to peruse at our leisure. One of the first paintings we walked into was The Entrance of Emperor Charles V in Antwerp by Hans Makart which dwarfed all of us at 520cm in height and 952 centimeters in length; a downright  massive piece! It felt amazing to be in the presence of so many historic artworks by famous painters like Edward Munch, Francois Lemoyne, and Caspar David Friedrich. While they didn't have my favorite Friedrich painting on display, Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog , many more of his paintings were present and I thoroughly enjoyed taking the time to appreciate each one of them. Of course, it wasn't just the oldies we were looking forward to seeing! Numerous contemporary art installatio...
