Winter, Chapter 3: Of Frozen Lakes

Above: skaters on Peblinge Sø in Copenhagen last week. We made our trip to Copenhagen on another sub zero day. It was windy too, as it seems to always be in this city. Walking into the freezing wind from Nørreport station to where we were headed in Nørrebro, was… I don’t remember. I think my…More

One night in Copenhagen

I walked around the center of Copenhagen for hours today. And realized with a jolt, that after all the time I’ve spent here – every summer for the last 3 years – I’ve never been out in it on my own. This being Flemming’s home city, I’m always with him when we’re here. But today…More

Iron

When I snapped this photo back in 2013 in Frederiksborg Slot, it was because I couldn’t resist the analogy of knights and shining armor begging to be made (and the light falling on both was beautiful). But our lives aren’t half as burdened as those who live in distress, and/or fight in enough metal to construct a car with. The…More

Shifting Views

Climbing to the top of Christiansborg Tårnet yields a full panorama of the city. On this particular day, you could see across Øresund to Sweden.More

Bodies

Artist Dries Verhoeven has a project called Ceci N’est Pas…  being shown in Copenhagen at the moment (if you read Danish, read the article on Politiken). That day’s installation involved a woman in the nude sitting in that glass box, wearing a mannequin’s face (literally). A provoking commentary on our increasing fixation with youthfulness in an ageing society.More

Georg(e) the Danish Bicycle

July 2014 This year’s Copenhagen photo project didn’t involve any headless aliens. It was instead, all about a red bicycle. Georg(e) is his name, and he was waiting for me when I arrived in Copenhagen on the 1st of July. George is the color of Dannebrog, the Danish flag, and he has carried all the men in Flemming‘s family at one point or another throughout his 20-odd years.More

Headless Man goes to town

April 2013, New Mexico, USA It all started with the image above, while we were in New Mexico last year. While he was chimping at an award winning (no doubt!) shot of Shiprock, it was discovered that Flemming can tuck his chin into his chest like no other.More

Ohoi!

Happy hour

Apparently, it ain’t so happy in some parts. Nørrebro, Copenhagen. My thanks to Ib Thordal and Fuji Denmark for the loan of the XE-2 and 56mm f1.2 that was used in the making of this picture. My X-Pro 1 is showing signs of eventual failure (more on this later), and the Danish Fuji office very kindly lent me some…More
