Corrupted picture files

I just experienced the first and worst shock since I started taking portrait photos. My SD card was somehow corrupted in my own trustworthy laptop before I can even copy and save them on the computer or my external hard drive…

The worst part is, it was a practice shoot but also supposed to be used for this friend's art work. When I first realized the photo was gone, I couldn't believe it and tried everything to make them show up again, I tried to put the SD card back to the camera, tried to put the card back in the mac again but the only thing there was just a weird file that can't be opened, and it was named with some weird symbols.

I panicked, which I rarely do! I tried all the methods to repair the memory card, but nothing… eventually I decided to pay about 300 kr. to buy this StellarPhoenix repairing software, and it worked, I got around 120 pictures back… until I found out they were mostly thumbnail files… my mood was like on a roller coaster.

Anyway, I got about 15 undamaged pictures back, which are of course not the best ones.

Learned the lesson, will always copy and save all the pictures before I touch any of the files on the SD card… But this will always happen, it can't be completely avoided I guess. Then I do recommend this StellarPhoenix repairing software, this company has a series of softwares for different problems, personally I only recommend the one called 'StellarPhoenix Photo Recovery' tho, as it has actually recovered some pictures, and many other free or cheaper memory card repairing software did not even recover anything. The JPEG repairing software from this company, however, did not repair any pictures to a usable condition.

Enough about the depressing SD card incident for now. I took some picture with my iphone recently and really like them, wanna share with you :)

The other day I was having a 'reduce the guilt from eating too much sweets' walk, I saw this by the water between Christianhavn and Amager.

And yes, the World Cup. It made Island Brygge extra cozy, as Danish people say, hyggeligt :) I went there for a few times when the sun was generous, and the dusk view at that area, is simply amazing.

Always love the dusk, it's my favorite time of the day. And the dusk of Danish summer surprises me, every time.

A quite surprising discovery

As a person that can get distracted by so many things so easily, I am always looking for comfortable places to study, no, really. I don't know why but I can't really do that at home, and school is always packed, so I prefer some nice and quite but not too quite cafés.

One day, when I was 'struggling' at home again, Yue called and told me she's been studying at a new campus of her school, KEA, which is near Empire Bio in Nørrebro, and it has quite nice environment. It's always fun to explore new places, especially when your friends recommend them to you, so I went there for a stroll.

It turned out to be quite a little surprise :D

Really like the industrial elements in the little café, and all the designing feelings. It's not crowded at all, but still has some studying atmosphere, me like.

New earrings

Well, to be precise these are not the newest, but they are my current favorite.

Big earrings and small studs really make huge difference on many people. I have been looking for something small but not as small as studs, for a long time, and I was sooooo happy when I found these from & Other Stories, of course, Stories again ;)

Another casual working day. Guess I should smile a bit more.

Top: & Other Stories
Necklace: & Other Stories
Jeans: Levi's 
Ankle boots: & Other Stories

Well well, crazy fan indeed. Really like their designs.

When the Italian meets the Scandinavian ocean

Another photo session last sunday :D with Alessia. She actually does some photo shooting as well, but she thought it would be fun to do it the other way round sometimes, so I got a new model.

I really like some simple environment, but I guess I haven't explored Copenhagen that well yet, couldn't think of any new interesting place. We went to Amager Strand again at last.

It turns out not bad at all, I guess having a pretty model helps… a lot. I really like quite a few photos, that's why it took me a while to struggle with myself and to pick around 20 pieces out of 110.

The Italian mermaid.

Really love the last one, it's so sweet!

Gleaming lights of the souls

Speaking of Louisiana, which I mentioned in my last post, I have to bring one specific installation art up. I'm quite fascinated by installation arts recently, as you can probably see from a previous post. And this one at Louisiana, Gleaming Lights of the Souls by Yayoi Kusama, is the one that got me really interested in this kind of art.

It's a sealed room, you can barely notice it because it is at a almost invisible corner. But there is alway a queue in front of the little door. Such a shame that you can stay inside for a longer time.

Whenever I enter that room, I just feel absolutely peaceful. It's a very small room but because of the mirrors it also feels like infinity.

Gleaming lights of the souls, couldn't be more accurate!
