Week 26: Together in the Kitchen

Last week I was busy building my own superman army in the kitchen. I mean, you only want the best company in the kitchen and I totally fell for those Superman glasses you get for one Euro with your lunch at Rodilla (Spanish sandwich place). I have five by now, one more and it's a nice set of six. Perfect for summer drinks like tinto de verano. Also, holds well other important things - like cardboard box leftover of the black&white film I popped into my old film camera. Not old like yeah, grandpa used it in WWII and all. But old like 10 years old. 

So, here's the photo of being together in the kitchen - my (super)men and my passion.


Other than that I haven't spent that much time in the kitchen (did make my favorite risotto tho - Jamie Oliver is an inspiration and kitchen god, yes). I have been breathing in the summer (read: spent sunny hours hiding indoors under the air conditioner like a true vampire, yikes; but spending more nights out, obviously). Also, have been working a bit on my blog and future Facebook page. As you might have noticed then raindeertrails.blogspot.com redirects you to kaisaphoto.com. Yes, I got my own domain name. Possibly one day I will build a website. But right now it seemed like too much (hosting plans and all). Better spend some time outdoors. Can go all super-nerd in winter.  

So, some changes still might appear on this blog (for example I have updated 'About' section). Plus I am excited about getting a Facebook page (though it all takes work - a page needs content). To make long story short. But I did take cover photos on Sunday morning in the park (Instagram proof).

I can't believe it's July already! It's gonna be a busy month with trips to Pamplona (Spain) and Lisbon (Portugal) and at least four concerts - Ben Howard, Tame Impala, Fanfarlo and Devendra Banhart. Oh and you know, full time work and being all summery and chill and stuff like that. Even living in a sunny country doesn't mean that summers are long enough. They're not.

Hope you're having a good summer.

Halfway There

It is week 26, so it means I am halfway there. Wow. Anyhow, theme for this week is 'together in the kitchen'. 


Maybe I should arrange a bunch of people to cook in my kitchen, so it would be a win-win situations?! I could really use a good home cooked meal. ;)

Week 2: Patterns

This week I was determined to see patterns EVERYWHERE. Well, I used my subject in a wide sense, so it wasn't that hard. In the end everything started to seem as part of a pattern. Without further ado let's take a look at what I got.

I started off with shooting streets. In Madrid sidewalks tend to be made of different tiles, not covered in asphalt. So the city is packed with patterned streets. Oh and they love to add colorful carpets in front of bars and restaurants.

The southerners aren't big on adding isolation (or central heating) to their buildings, so life in the office required some thermo socks and a small radiator. Hey, but fun patterns!

Wouldn't you say that modern buildings are all about patterns? Sometimes it sure does feel so.

 Sometimes fun patterns hide underground, found this fishy at a metro station. Patterns within patterns.

Well, finding patterns in my wardrobe is easy.

Oh I just love patterns on my Nanso clothes. Yellow fabric with birds is a pillow from Habitat.

I was home-bound for today and stumbled upon patterns in my kitchen.

Some patterns are accidental (and delicious).

Natural inspiration for man-made patterns perhaps?! Ps. The soup turned out delicious!

Patterns really are all around us, sometimes we just need an extra moment (or a photo project) to notice them.
