Day 100 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark This is it, the last post of this Hundred Day Diary. I’m not sure what comes after this yet. I’ve discovered that I quite enjoy small blogging projects. I’ve been keeping one blog or another since 1998. You’d think that at some point, I would have at least tried…More

Day 99 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark This is it, the second last post of this Hundred Day Diary project. Most of these posts have been drivel, but regardless, it’s been challenging to keep a public daily diary. 1. Writing something cogent everyday is hard. I write reams of gibberish all the time, but sifting through…More

Day 98 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark If the vast majority of work that is being done is overwhelmingly male, western and of a privileged class, how does that affect our ability to tell stories? Well, I think it does a few things; at the very least it creates a vocabulary of image making that is…More

Day 97 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark I’m almost done with my hundred days. It has been a good project, and many thanks to those of you (12 now, a 400% increase from the last count of 3!) who have been following along. It got easier to keep to as the days went by, simply by…More

Day 96 of 100, Farsø, Danmark And back we are from Vejle. This week has been: Farsø (DK) to Hannover (DE) Hannover (DE) to Farsø (DK) Farsø (DK) to Vejle (DK) Vejle (DK) to Farsø (DK) That is a lot of train travel, even for one who likes travelling by rail. A lot of administrative…More

Day 94 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark In the midst of this all this moving around, I managed to make some prints. Which arrived right before we set out for Hannover. They are neither extravagant nor exciting, just some pharmacy six by fours so I can have a look at my pictures in more tangible fashion.…More

Day 95 of 100, Vejle, Danmark Spinderihallerne, a repurposed cotton mill, is quite the venue for an office. Fujifilm Nordic’s account manager Ib Thordal has his here, an bright, spacious warehouse-y place filled with eclectic people from all walks of creative life. It has enough open spaces to host, among other things, the Food Photo…More

Day 93 of 100, Germany – Denmark Today we made what feels like the tenth journey from Germany to Denmark in these couple of months, though it’s more the 5th or 6th in either direction. In two days, Flemming and I go back to Hobro station and head that way again, though only a short…More

Day 92 of 100, Hamburg, Germany The one plus about reading Danish at a 5 year old’s level is the ability also, to read signs in German. I can intelligently guess my way around German airports and train stations, diner menus and supermarkets. For example: Potato is kartoffel in both Danish and German. Ditto soup…More

Day 91 of 100, Hannover, Germany A couple of nights before we headed to Hannover (for the nth time), a silver fog rolled in. The old lady’s brewing, they said in the old days. A deer barked in the gloaming. The kraken thrashed. Mare came at midnight.More

Day 90 of 100, Denmark – Germany So, for the past year or something I’ve managed to acquire a low level of Danish literacy. Mainly through exposure, although there are spurts of dedicated word-by-word Google translating if I find something interesting to read, like viking history. I can read Danish at kindy level (unless it’s…More

Day 89 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark We’ve walked past this thicket just about every day we’ve been in Jylland. And I’ve photographed this spot every one of those times. I mentioned in an earlier post about shooting trees, that something about the spacing between trees is very attractive. Still at a loss as to what…More

Day 88 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark I’ve never been on so many family outings as I do when hanging around with Flemming’s father. A bunch of us went to the Stone Age museum at Ertebølle on Sunday – Flemming, his dad, his sister, me, their cousin, his wife, and their two little girls. Little Danish…More

Day 87 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark “THE FIRST DANES… Under the moraine at the edge of a river valley in South Jutland were found, in 1972, some crudely dressed flint artefacts, and an exploration of the site established that, 250,000 years old, they constituted traces of the country’s first inhabitants: hunters, able to cut meat…More

Day 86 of 100, Nordjylland, Danmark If the past four years have taught me anything, it is that things rarely go according to plan. The simplest things in my life are incredibly prone to diversion. I know this life on the road is supposed to be full of surprised, and I live it to embrace…More
