Boat, Lyngby

In the nineties, I lived in the really neat town/suburb of Copenhagen named Lyngby. What I miss the most from there are the great big parks located three minutes walk from my home. This photo is from there and then.
This was amongst the last pictures I ever took on film. This film was developed in Agfa Rodinal, a famous B/W film developer which was not exactly good for fine grain and had problems with shadow detail, but which gave this amazing "accutance", meaning edge contrast, which gave the pictures a unique impression of sharpness and, um, presence, somehow. (It's similar to a strong use of the "unsharp" filter in Photoshop.)
I think it's perhaps the best photo I made in that period.

Update: I was mailed now by my old friend Memo. Martin and I must have gone to the cafes in Copenhagen a hundred times. We have many common interests, like art, photography, beautiful women, good coffee, and philosophical discourse. He challenged me to admit that one more thing I miss about Lyngby is the cute girls. He couldn't be more right. Sure, there are wonderful women all over the world, but there is something about Danish women, especially in the nicer areas. Not only are they beautiful, but they tend to have keen minds and a sense of humor, as well as a relaxed self-assurance. Gotta love it.
