Our photojournalism class asked us to cover one event in the 10-day Århus festival and tell a story in 4-5 images. While looking through the event calender, I was drawn to "Dinner in the Sky", an event that straps people into seats similar to a roller coaster and lifts them 25-50 meters to enjoy a meal while looking over the city. Sounds... strange, right? I got there not knowing what to expect from the people, the workers, or anything really. I had a lovely time getting to know people there and trying to take photos that would express the mysteriousness of the environment from my perspective. I hope you like the story, I worked really hard and I am proud to say it's mine.
Anita and Per Haugaard, traveled from their town 50 kilometers outside of Aarhus to watch as the crane swiftly lifts the guests of Dinner in the Sky.
Staff of Dinner in the Sky prepare the apparatus for three to four hours before the first guests arrive, assuring that everything is secure.
While waiting for a 40-minute trip with Dinner in the Sky, ticket holders enjoyed drinks and conversation inside of a tent.
A couple prepares for their ride in the Dinner in the Sky crane-lift. The hosts provided plastic ponchos to protect clothing from the continual rain.
Ole Schriver raises a toast to his daughter waiting below as he dines in the sky.
Guests were prepared caviar mousse, gazpacho, and salmon with a dill and lemon marinade. Here, a woman looks over the city while finishing the chocolate cake provided for dessert.
P.S. I'm adding the second image here that I didn't show for review in class. I like the balance with all 6 images.

looks like you're experiencing some shitty scandinavian weather:) i like the images. i love the feel of the whole sequence and i think b&w definitely helps create/enhance that mystery feel that you were looking for.
Shitty weather? This looks like perfect weather for photography! I agree about the b&w. Nice sequence and good seeing.
