Ace Camp - Camilla Engman - Goteborg, Sweden

Thank you, Camilla.

...and a most gracious thank you to all who traveled to Goteborg, Sweden for the workshop - it was such a pleasure to meet all of you.

I'm getting ready for an onslaught of travel - which is incredibly awesome but I'm making sure all my "t's" are crossed and "i's" are dotted. In a few weeks I head to Seattle for the Ace Camp with Tif Fussell and the dottie angels dearies 2, then off to Morocco with Suzanne Northcott and 11 other women and after that I return back to Whistler for a few days followed by an Ace Camp in Sweden with Camilla Engman.

I have a few days - like 5 or so before I arrive in Sweden so have been trying to figure out where to go and what to do while in Europe - so I came up with some of these ideas below.

Do I stay in northern Europe and ride a bike around Copenhagen, or go to Amsterdam and visit the flea markets or do I head back to Paris and chomp out at Galeries Lafayette again? Do I take a ferry, or camp on a Greek Island, or train it to Belgium or Stockholm?

In my search and as often happens I spent some time getting lost and ended up on the site Welcome Beyond looking for future accommodations for Ace Camps - so then I started thinking Belgium.

Tunisia - Dar Hi — Séverine: “Yes, it’s very much like a retreat. When you’re there and you see the sunset and hear the mosques, it’s just an amazing experience.


France - Chateau Du Chiron


This came right out of the blue as one search led to another and really, no absolutely, has nothing to do with my Europe search...but I liked it so am sharing the work of Emily Fischer. Emily runs a custom quilt studio called Haptic Lab and has designed a Great Lakes quilt. If you grew up in this region, you might feel as fondly about this as I do.


Tourist Magazine - "When did expensive and impossible to find become so unbearably cool? I look to my 5 year old niece for inspiration when it comes to fashion and my 90 year old grandma when it comes to attitude."

Travelettes - I stumbled on this website and discovered the work of Ana Cabaleiro and spent a fair bit of time searching for Euro inspiration...where to go, where to go....?

Wandering off course again I discovered the photography of Thomas Hauser.


...and found this postcard - A Platform Journal


I haven't made my mind up yet...but stay tuned.

Illustrator Bjorn Rune Lie from Norway captured my attention this week. Since graduating from University College Falmouth in 2001, his images have appeared on milk cartons, magazine covers, text books and album covers across the globe.

Then I think of Norway and see this photo - who's photo credit I can't find for the life of me - which makes me want to go to Norway and hang out in a fjord.


Then I wanted this postcard from Yeehaw Industries.


Full-time jobs take up a lot of time, so how do you make room for creativity between all your various obligations and errands? Diego Gimenez solved the problem by mixing his photography habit with his morning commute.


I thought this article - The Animal People Have Always Been There - written in The Journal about Camilla Engman's work was well written and helps us to better understand Camilla's world of Animal People. (You do know that there is an Ace Camp in Sweden with Camilla in May - there are spots left if you want to come.

I know. This post is way late. I've been super-uber busy. :)
