From one of the many ski trips up to Ullevålseteren

“Paradisbukta” at Bygdøy. Suddenly, in the middle of the Forest there was a girl serving waffles!

Trysil in February

One of the may alleys in Gammlebyen, Stockholm

Stockholm and Maridalen

Just developed a film from my Golden Half camera. Hopefully these will be the last winter photos. I’m off to Paris tomorrow so hopefully spring is there!

GOLDEN HALFS OSLO

Kristin Hove — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 11:01:37 +0000

Just developed a film roll from my Golden Half camera. These photos were taken just after we got back to Oslo. I haven’t been to good using this camera lately, but it’s fun developing photos that I had forgotten about! These days seems like a while ago now.

KIKUTBOLLER I NORDMARKA

Kristin Hove — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 09:45:16 +0000

On one of the first days back in Oslo we biked up to “Kikut” (Lookout) in Nordmarka. This place is just outside the city center but it feels like you are miles away! It’s green and lush, and when we finally reached the destination after a few steep hills we felt we deserved a treat! And that’s when I got to try the “Kikutbolle”. They taste best after a good work out!

1 sachet dry yeast or 1 pack fresh yeast.
2 1/2 cup milk
200g butter
4-5 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp cardamom
1 tsp vanilla sugar
2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup vanilla cream for filling.

Mix coconut, icing sugar, and a bit water until it is thick and easy to spread on the rolls. (Prepare when the buns are in the oven)

Preheat oven to 225 degrees.

Add yeast to a bowl or a kitchen aid. Melt butter and add milk. when liquid is 37 degrees, combine with the yeast and stir well. Mix all dry ingredients and add gently while stirring. Knead well, the dough should be quite moist to work with. Let it rise to double size (at least for an hour). Divide the dough into 24 parts and roll them gently until they are smooth and round. Make a hole in each bun with a spoon and add 1-2 tsp vanilla cream. Put on a tray and let the rolls rise again for about 30 min. Brush them with a whipped egg and bake them for 12 min. Let cool on a wire rack, add icing around vanilla cream and serve while still a bit warm!

SURRY HILLS

Kristin Hove — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 02:41:29 +0000

Outside of Manly, this is my favourite place in Sydney! Love the village feeling, with small boutique shops, cafes and restaurants.

These photos are taken with my Golden Half camera on 35mm film. I picked up this film from the photo lab the other day, surprised to find all my photos as singles, not double like they are supposed to be. The kind lady behind the desk explained that she had spent a lot of time in Photoshop separating the photos from each other and that she had to charge me the double for the extra work. So now it’s not really Golden Halfs anymore, but they still look good. Next time I will have to be a bit more specific when i hand them in.

HUNTER VALLEY

Kristin Hove — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 22:11:15 +0000

Early morning run in Hunter Valley. I love waking up at a new place, put runners on and go out to explore what’s around and plan the rest of the day.

After a hearty breakfast at Elfin Hill, the place we spent the night, we picked three wineries to visit: Audrey wilkinson, Tullock and scarborough. All three were good, but nothing could beat the stunning view from Audrey Wilkinson vineyard. After all the wine we were longing after a fresh home made gelato from The smelly Cheese Shop. They use what’s in season and are changing their flavours regularly. I had honey and macadamia nuts. A perfect ending on a good day.

We found home made preserves in a small little shop in Bilpin, along the long, but beautiful drive from Blue Mountains to Hunter Valley. After a few hours in the car it was refreshing with their homemade Bilpin apple juice.

BOOKS EVEN

OR EVEN BOOKS?

This seems to be a book club. Just saw them on a stand at Laneway Festival. They organise book nights where each party is themed around a different book, author or genre. Makes book reading more fun! Check it out on Even Books.

LANEWAY FESTIVAL

Kristin Hove — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:57:09 +0000

Laneway Festival, Sydney University.

A festival without teenagers on drugs and glow sticks!

Mumford & sons, XX, Florence And The Machine, Daniel Johnston, Black Lips And so many more great bands.

Lucy! love the outfit!

Finally theses photos came back to me. Love shooting with film, but not many places develop film anymore, and specially not when it’s a positive film that needs cross processing. This one i sent to vision graphics in North Sydney. I wrote the address wrong so it took about a week and half to travel to one side of the city to the other. I thought I never would see the photos again, so was relieved when they finally got to the right place. The positive film which had an ISO on 200 came out with strong contrast, and clear colours.But a few came out to dark as well, be careful with shady places when using this type of film.
