Besides the horror of shopping (Mother peeking over my shoulder, commenting on everything), the trip to Stockholm was great. It's such a beautiful city (especially Old Town and SoFo) and I got a few shots that I'm real pleased with and the gallery was amazing. Vee Speers is amazing (bought a print, see the first photo) but Annie Leibovitz blew me away. A lot of the prints had never before been published/shown because they were her private photos and they were incredible. One of them really got to me and made me tear up, a photo of a kid's bike lying in the middle of the street with blood stains around it, she had made notes to some of the photos and this was one of them. She first and foremost thinks of herself as a portrait photographer but she's so much more than that. So multifaceted. Unfortunately all of her prints were sold out in the gift shop, but they'll probably be with me forever with or without reminders.
I included this photo (below) as well because I wanted it, I thought the two would've made a very good pair but my mom thought it was unnecessary to buy two prints and I couldn't be bothered to argue with her because by then I was so tired and just wanted to get into the car and get home to rest my legs and feet.
One of the overall downsides to the trip was the aches I got from walking around for two days straight. My hips, knees and feet hurt like hell, a reminder that I need to call the doctor again. I'm gonna get them to take me serious because they can't blame this on growing-pains anymore. I've had problems with my knees for 10 years but I've never had problems with my hips before and I'm freaking (almost) 21 now and I doubt that you'd have growing-pains from the age of 11 to 21.
(I'll probably make a photo post sometime next week.)
