Now, you are of course wondering what Elfwood is. You may have heard of a web page called that. And that's what this is named up after. We are six girls (myself, Emeli, Line, Nina, Åshild and Adine) who bring suitcases stuffed with pretty gowns into some forest. There we dress up, and photograph eachother. As simple as that. Below are some of the results. The pictures below are from my own camera, and of course, there are five other cameras, and to see the oter pictures, go to these links:

This whole freaky hobby started with Line saying to me that she wanted to be photographed. She had planned out exactly what she should wear and how the photos should be done. She asked me (since I had a camera and she hadn't bought hers yet) that I would do the clicking. I agreed, and suddenly people started joining in. So, we went up to the forest, close to where I live, and got these pictures. This first time, I went only as photographer, so there are unfortunately none of me here.

We're huge on "running photos". This is Nina.

A sad elf in the forest. Nina as well.

Nina, the tree elf dressed in Åshilds magnificent cloak.

The dance of the sun, performed by Nina.

I think she truly looks like Galadriel. This is the Lady of Lorien herself, Adine (in her homemade dress. Great job you did too!).

This might well be the best one. I like the perspective. The elves are calling. Nina (in the back) and Emeli.

Emeli with one foot in the river. I honestly regret I made you do this. You were cold enough in the first place. Sorry.

High Priestess Emeli not revealing her secrets, not even to the photographer. Quite sad, this one.

Diamonds are forever. So are elves... Nina.

Another angle. Nina.

The Elvenpath. Nina. (I can't stop singing "Elvenpath" by Nightwish when I see these photos!)

Run with the elves. Emeli. I like the joy in this, otherwise it's not too good a photo. But I've learned.

Red Bloodred Woman, Emeli.

Elvish joy. Nina. I like this, it's a fun photo, and nice to have since we have so many sad ones as well. (I know Nina doesn't like this herself, but I think it's nice...it's got to count for something...)

The only Elfwood picture I have of Åshild. I miss her a lot now, haven't seen her in a long time, since we're at different schools now. It's like she says "Here I am"...

This one is great, except for the background, I'm not too happy with that. But I love the pose. Nina.

On the second Elfwood, we went to a place called Anemarka, that has absolutely beautiful nature, at least in the spring. Åshild was not with us this time (she doesn't live all that close to us others and it's difficult to get back and forthe from where she lives...), so we were only five this time. We rode our bikes up there, and this is what came of it.

Oui, c'est moi! I think Emeli is the photographer, but I can't remember exactly...sorry...

This is Adine, who was not all to happy with the title: Dead Beauty. She later claimed that she was only sleeping... 

Another Elvenpath. Line, with gorgeous, homemade elven crown.

Elves in shoes like that? I don't think so, but there was no time to take them off. Adine (left) and Line.

Kneeling to the elf queen. Me (left) and Emeli. Can't remember who took this. Sorry.

My cloak my friend is blowin' in the wind... Me. I think the photographer here is Adine. Not sure.

Me again. Photographer is Emeli.

The boys in DeviantART have fallen for this. Big time. Adine.

Sacred place. Emeli.

Our Galadriel, Adine.

Adine (left) and Line in an elven forest.

Guess who died again? Me. Photographer is Emeli. This time I'm sure.

Emeli, obviously determined, yet pretty.

Another death. We just love those. Line this time. (I should have removed that branch, shouldn't I?)

Emeli, the bride of Elfwood. Who's the lucky guy?

A little samurai, maybe? Me. Photographer is Emeli.

On the 3rd Elfwood, we went up to a place called Øyås, where Nina lives. Åshild was not with us, and Emeli had to go home with a terrible migrene. That's why I don't have as many pictures from this one. But here they are anyway.

Line (in black) and Emeli. One innocent, and one not so innocent.

Angels fall first. Emeli (left) and Nina.

Reminds me of the triple spiral of Ireland. Me (in beige), Line (in black, the one with the ankh) and Adine (in black/dark blue).

A little, sleeping pixie, Nina.

A fairy gathering. Line (in black), Adine (in blue) and Nina (black and white).

Take me to the clouds above... Me, photographer I can't remember, but it could have been Adine.

Nina, the forest faerie.

An elven princess. Adine.

Daughter of Rivendell maybe? Nina.

Nina on a dusty road where trot is practiced.
