The legs on the left were often seen walking around Copenhagen in that state of asymmetry. I never remembered I had one leg of my jeans (after two months, irreparably grease stained) rolled up while riding my bike, to stop it getting sucked into the chain. If you’re a regular visitor of the Copenhagen Cycle…More
Wonderful Copenhagenize: The one about the bicycle
“One bicycle is much the same as another,” I assured Flemming when he had apologised in advance for the bike that he’d borrowed for me. For riding around town, how much of a difference could it make? More
Wonderful Copenhagen: On Impossible Things
“Wonderful wonderful Copenhagen!” was the refrain that greeted me over the phone line, every time my Dad was reminded it was where I was heading in July for another, extended Mad and Magic Raving reunion. It turns out that centuries ago, Dad had a pen pal from Copenhagen, and it’s been a European city that…More
Friday Noir: Through The Long Night

He stepped out of the dark and into the shadows. The relentlessness of the rain finally tapered, then ended. Gray light filtered through. An upturned collar against the chill. It’s all down the straight line now, she had said. Gotta keep movin’, he had said. ‘Cause then they can’t catch…

Learning the simple things in a roundabout way: on 8 months of being a gypsy
18 July 2013: I spent my six month milestone as a vagrant in the air, fittingly, enroute to Copenhagen from Montreal, marked by as unbelievable a sunrise as I’ve ever seen. Descending into Iceland for a seven hour transit, just above the sweep of plane wing, the red band of sunlight from the approaching dawn…More
Trailerpark Festival Recap
Words and pictures by Flemming Bo Jensen and Charlene Winfred. Originally posted in the Trailerpark blog and Artrebels blog, 9 August 2013 Trailerpark Festival 2013 was rich in every way an art and music celebration should be: visually, aurally, and atmospherically. For a photographer, this provoked the pleasurable dilemma: do I shoot, or do I…More
Whirlwind Canada
At the end of June, obliged as I was to get out of the USA, i headed north to Canada. Canada was quick. I was in and out of the country in 2 weeks, which meant everything flew by in a blur. It is one of those vast spaces in the world I often think…More

The Streets of Washington DC
I have a funny relationship with cities. I was born, raised, and have lived all my life in cities. I find them visually intriguing for their grit, geometry, tightly packed chaos and human contradiction. But I also associate them with a certain kind of perspective on life that drives me up the wall, and makes me…More

Reflections on Junction
Let me stake a claim about landscape/nature photography here: it does nothing for me. I can, and do, appreciate landscape photos from a technical perspective. But emotionally, they leave me cold. There’s something about the perfect beauty of an excellent landscape photo that seems to shut my engagement down. I’m compelled by imperfection for reasons…More
The Bus to Texas
Texas has been a constant stream of first experiences for me. The very first of these was the journey from Albuquerque to Lubbock, where I was heading to attend Jerod Foster‘s annual workshop (more on this later). I got on a Greyhound bus instead of the plane, and had possibly the best bus journey to…More
Invoking The Magic Of The Open Road
Magic comes from what is inside you. It is a part of you. You can’t weave together a spell that you don’t believe in.― Jim Butcher April 2013 3 weeks. 4500 miles. A car that started out black and came back grey-brown from a solid caking of road dust. A 901st birthday, and the sort…More
