Back in Denmark

Paw — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:22:37 +0000

Back in the old country. Its a new year and the queen gave her speech. Getting one of my cameras fixed as soon as possible. Repairs are no problem here. Well… People here complain alot but most things really work, AND you can actually drink the water from the tap

Went out to the Kayak Club with my friend Eigil. A good spirit with tired eyes.

Europa sweet Europa

Back in Europe. Pitstop in Cracow. Going on a photoshoot today.
Its a beautiful city and the people here are wonderful. Wish I could stay here longer.
The weather pretty much sucks, but I will try to use the grey and the cold to my advantage.

Kiev basically sucked the life out of me. Best thing I have learned from that place is never to trust other people ever again… That being a good thing, Im not sure yet !!!

Ukranian countryside

A series of photos from the Ukranian countryside. A wonderful trip to a world of smiles and slow paced living. My advise: Skip Kiev, and go see the real Ukraine

Hard times for contemporary art during the crisis

Short video coming up. Improvised interview with one of the owners of a gallery for contemporary art in Kiev. Still on the road, so I really need some intense days for editing videos on my 24″ in Denmark. Everything will be posted here when ready.

Gry Guldager – Photoshoot

Photoshoot with Gry Guldager, a danish actress. Most of the shots are on Fuji Reala 100, and a few on Fuji Sensia 200. Alot of rain that day in Dyrehaven north of Copenhagen, but we had a good time, and the moist and the cold in the air was just what we needed.

Living in Kiev these days. Searching for some web projects in Denmark at the same time.
Working on a short documentary here. Now in the first edit fase before round two.
Only shooting analog stills, so plenty of that grainy stuff on the way

Found my favorite roll of film. The Fuji Superia Reala 100. Thanks to Sofie Marie Høegh Nielsen for a laid back afternoon down by the old tracks.

The old town in Skopje / An abundance of smiles :)

Paw — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:15:45 +0000

Wonderful trip to Skopje. Lots of chai and domino at the old town. People were so friendly and communicating is no problem. Even bumped into a swedish lingual local guy selling beans and cheese at the bazar. 4 days of sun and smiling people. Yes… Its a poor country but they are rich in so many other ways. Macedonians, Bulgarians, Albanians and Romas living side by side, and somehow they manage to get along.
Maybe there is still hope for our little blue planet (well.. almost blue).
