“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” – Excerpt from The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

It is autumn in Denmark and Charlene and I are spending some nice relaxing time in the country at my father’s place. It may be cold, hot, windy, rainy and sunny – four seasons in one day – but it is always beautiful. The elements of nature are felt just outside the door. This is home, this is what I knew as a child. It is good for the soul to immerse myself in the outdoors with my loved one. I am immensely happy I took this road.

Oh and I have a new camera! Fujifilm Nordic has very kindly loaned me an X-T2, the successor to my favourite camera ever, the X-T1. Much more to come, suffice to say I think I do not think I shall ever need another camera. This truly is perfection for me! The best camera I have ever used. Here is a small slice of autumn with the X-T2 – in glorious Anton Corbijn and P-A Jörgensen inspired black and white, I seem to love shooting everything in black and white lately.

X-T2, 23mmF2 lens. I borrowed Charlene's new 23mmF2 lens for a day and I totally get why she loves it so much. I made this with it.

I really love this one :) X-T2 and the 23mmF2 lens. Many would not consider 35mm a portrait lens, but it is for me!

X-T2, manually stitched pano shot of the storm at Thorup Beach with the 18mm lens. It was so windy the in-camera pano function kept telling me to pan better, cheeky thing! Manual it is!

This road, us, forever.
