Sometimes it seems to me, when looking in the eyes of people passing by, they are starring into fires that has long stopped burning
Eyes passing by
End of the day walk
Woman heading home after another day at the office
Mid day walker
During the day senior walkers roam the streets, looking like they have plenty of time and no worries (Street sketch)
Walking the streets every day
Not all people are walking to something - some of them I see again and again during the day... just walking
Rush hour
Street sketch - In the morning the office workers crowd the streets of Copenhagen all at once
Getting ready for the day
Early in the morning other types of people walk the pedestrian streets and small squares - like this painter getting everything ready for a long days work
Moment between meals
Street sketch of chef on his break
After the sale
It had been a slow day, but finally things started to happen, he celebrated with a double latte from the expensive coffee-shop next to the flee marked
Regrets turned to relief
...It was still sitting there, so glad she biked all the way back
Moving the vase
Slowly he walked back to place it in the right time
The unfinished manuscript
It was her... wasn't it?
Wasting a minute
Woman stopped by street canvassing girl
Listening to the guide
l look up as the guide stop to explain to the group that the locals used to come to drink and hang out along the pier
Girl with a skateboard
Watercolor sketching in Copenhagen on a weekend, lots of people around, even skaters, moving around the people selling old stuff or others coming in from the suburbs
Not the best of days
It looked like it could have been a long night, as she stood there holding her baby, that was still not sleeping
Music has no age
At the flee marked people were selling their old records, this man looked like he just found what he hoped for, remembering the days back then with the band
Grandmother waiting
The toddler turned around again, looking, trying to make sense of what I was doing with the brushes and paper... and the grandmother just waited, knowing it could take a while
Rasta girl with backpack
She sat waiting a small cafe' in a place where people from all parts of the world gathered to drink coffee and talk
Three more beers on a hot day
He came out of the small shop, it was around noon on a very hot day. He didn't wait for the lights to change to green, just crossed the street heading over towards the bench in the shade. Back to the bench he came from just a minute ago
Still on a hike
He looked like he had come home, but still not really ready for it. Still wearing his backpack, like he was still out of the city
Father helping daughter
Street life change fast, a girl falls and gets up, people are looking, she runs to her father with arms out, just about to cry...
Taking a break
He stopped for a second, then for a minute, just looking at life in the street
The long, long days
Some people in the streets look tired, like they just almost can't think of taking one more step...
Three old men watercolor portrait
Street sketch in watercolor of the heads of three old men
