Franklin's Birthday

-
Franklin's birthday was on Saturday, but we knew we wouldn't have time to celebrate because we would be traveling all day. So, the squad and I decided to throw him a surprise party Sunday night instead!
TJ brought him to Jonkoping for a con called Dreamhack in the morning while the rest of us stayed back to get the party ready. They had a huge section just for Legos at the con, and both of the boys had a blast. Megan even baked him a strawberry chocolate cake from scratch! We didn't have a cake stand so we wrapped a pizza box in tinfoil 😅
And Ed made burgers for all of us, too!




We all got him little mementos for his birthday. Nat got him a dubious little creature statue, I bought him some old swedish spiderman comics from a thrift store, and we all pitched in to get a ton of snacks.
Since I knew he was a huge spiderman fan, I drew spidersonas for the whole group and TJ and I both drew digital illustrations for him based on the spidersonas. The last ilustration is TJ's!




We ended the night by watching Into the Spiderverse with bonus content and then getting a good night's rest to get ready for our upcoming travels.

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...
