The story behind the image
A week before they were getting married, my parents made a day-trip to the village of Kollund in Denmark. They were joined by my aunt Gisela, and they took a couple of interesting shots.
Here’s one of them: My father (26) and his sister (17) pose next to a ‘Varme Pølser’ booth in the village. It’s funny to see them both so young, fresh and stylish. It’s also interesting to see the high quality of the small black-and-white print. It has an excellent contrast and well balanced gray tones.
In case you are wondering, Varme Pølser is almost the national (fast food) dish of Denmark – a hot sausage in a soft French roll, widely known as ‘hot dogs’ in the rest of the world. Add mayonnaise, mustard, remoulade, ketchup, fried onions, and cucumber, just as you like, and you’ve got a delicious meal “to go”.
I also like the little stand promoting the Agfa Isopan IF 17 film, which was a popular film in the 1950s and 1960s.
