I’ve always loved playing with long exposure settings and light. But I’ve never seen it done with fireworks! Love this neat video by Jon Thomas… great song too.

Avant Garde brief history
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under Inspiration
As a fan of typography, the work of Herb Lubalin and Avant Garde magazine I wanted to share what I had learned about the colorful past of the magazine’s namesake font. Many of the people associated in the tale are personal heroes of mine, but if you are a bit of a design geek, I think you’ll find it’s quite an amazing story.
Interesting reading about this widely used and beloved typeface over at Thinking for a Living.

Normann Copenhagen

We believe in great design
Normann Copenhagen is a way of living - a mindset. We like to think of it as putting on a pair of glasses and seeing the world in a different way. We love to challenge the conventional design rules. This is why you’ll find traditional materials put into untraditional use such as a washing-up bowl in rubber, a vase made of silicon and last but not least a dog made out of plastic.
Normann Copenhagen approached us with the challenge of creating a website that would fully convey their great design products and their stories. We created a engaging and immersive showcase in a simplistic design with a innovative navigation that would truly let products steal the stage.
Together with Jan Normann and Michael Rying from Normann Copenhagen, we created stories for each product that would let the observer see the detail and functionalities that otherwise wouldn’t be noticed. We then photographed each product to illustrate the scenarios and made subtle animations where necessary to further explain a function.
The project was done while employed as Art Director at In2media.

Photos from New York
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under News, Travel
Finally!… I’ve uploaded New photos from New York on my facebook. This time the albums include pictures from my road trip on Long Island as well as from a fucking awesome Santogold / Diplo / Atrak concert in Central Park.
The line for the concert was insane… I’m starting to get used to that though, it’s seems to me that everything in NYC requires standing in line and I must say that new yorkers have a very good line-culture in regards to being patient and not cheating. I recorded a small video of the line on my camera, check it out here:

Take Ivy
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under Inspiration, Miscellaneous
My friend Andy just introduced me to this book. After just buying a new pair of dockside sailor shoes myself, it’s kind of fun to see how this classic style keeps coming back.
In the late sixties, a forward thinking Japanese photographer traveled throughout the northeastern United States stopping at each of the Ivy League schools to document the style of the era. Further proof that preppy / Ivy League style transcends time and trends.
Take a look at more pictures here: A Continous Lean and DeJour Magazine.

Copenhagen Cycle Chic
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under Inspiration, Miscellaneous
Staying here in New York you start to get why everybody praises Copenhagen for it’s bike culture. The biggest problem commuting on bike in Copenhagen is that there is too many on bikes! Specially in rush hours while crossing Søerne
- 36% of Copenhagen’s citizens ride their bikes everyday!
Apparently the guys over at at copenhagencyclechic.com are not only amazed by the cycling lifestyle of Copenhagen but also find the style and especially the girls rather interesting.
Copenhagen Cycle Chic is a social documentary blog about cycling life in this lovely city. It’s bike advocacy in high heels with a streetstyle twist from the world’s cycling capital.
Kind of miss DK when I see those pics. Also go to their flickr page for more pics.

Road trip to Montauk
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under News, Travel
Montauk is known for it’s surf. I’ve already shopped a small bodyboard - let’s go!
Hey it’s been a while since the last post, so I just thought I would give you a little sign of life.
Last week kept me busy, my girlfriend Pernille finally came over to visit after successfully completing her exams back in Copenhagen (Congrats Pe!), and also I had a lot of work at Hungry Elephant that I needed to finish before taking a week off (whoohoo).
I wanted to get out of the city and get some fresh air, see some of the countryside and most of all go to the beach. So after celebrating 4th July with fireworks and a ‘dansker’ party in Greenpoint, Brooklyn - we rented a car and set out on a little 5 day road trip on Long Island. We decided to drive up Route 25A instead of The Long Island Highway which was nice ’cause it makes it’s way through wineries, winsome villages and sandy vistas, and also historic sights like Roosevelt’s old mansion on Sagamore Hill. Later we did some shopping at the Tanger Outlets (which consists of more than 165 brand name outlet’s), before heading down to South Hamptons.
Right now I’m writing from our neat little Montauk Motel after spending most of the day at the beach and by the pool. Montauk is a small village situated at the tip of the South Fork of Long Island (Montauk plays a prominent role in Michel Gondry’s film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. - which I really like!) We’re going to stay here and relax the next couple of days… I’ll upload some NY and Montauk pics once we get back to the city.
