Eva the Viking Model

-
One day when Nat and I were wandering the campus trying to find interesting things to photograph, we were stopped by a woman who was at the school for a conference. She noticed us struggling to find good subject matter and offered to model some authentic viking clothing for us since she worked at a viking museum in southern Sweden and brought some artifacts with her to the folkhogskola. We jumped at the opportunity, and the below photos are the result!







We also took some photos with our analog cameras which we were able to develop and give to her before she left.

Thanks again Eva,

Eli Goodwin

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

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...
