look up into the stars and the future

Look up – Challenge of week 5 in the 365 project

In the end of last week, I gave myself the challenge to shoot photos within a theme. I named the week, Look up. It has been interesting to have a frame to work from. Challenging too. And for future experiments, I will remember to keep the theme open, so it´s possible to interpretive it creatively. Just like “Loop up”. Here are the different shots I picked for the week.   day 30 – Text from Flickr; This week I will […]

Explore Copenhagen – The 365 project week 4

My overall conclusion from last week’s post “Swans in Copenhagen” was; too little exploration in the photos. I simply didn’t spend time “enough” to search and find my motives. So I decided that week should be different. That I should strive to find new motives and explore Copenhagen even more. It´s a tough task to keep being curious to known surroundings. And didn’t find it easy. With practice comes perfection I guess and I will aim to keep it up. […]

What to see in Copenhagen? Kastellet the pentagram fortress

Kastellet is one of the most beautiful parts of Copenhagen. Kastellet is an old fortress from back in the days, when it was tough to conquer a hill surrounded by water – holding a canon on top…  It´s a very historical place in Copenhagen, and I can’t remember if I’ve been here before or not. I’m pretty sure I have, but it’s years back. This morning I arranged a photowalk at the location around Kastellet. Basically, I got a lot […]

Next Photo walk in Cph 

The previous post about our ice cold photo walk in Copenhagen got a lot of attention afterwards. I did not know that so many people would like to join in. I promised everyone to give a warning in advance next time and my plan is to have the next walk on Sunday the 28th of Feb. So about a month from now. I haven’t planed a rout, yet. And I´m totally open for suggestions. Who ever wants to join can […]

Photowalk in Copenhagen 2016

The results from todays photowalk in Copenhagen, Christianshavn. Prior to this month Likemind meeting I posted a question in the Likemind Copenhagen Linkedin group, if anyone wanted to join for a walk around in the snow and practice some photography. I’ve previously met people at the Likemind meetings who enjoy photography and the active way of exploring the city. Luckily a few brave souls was ready to get on some warm close and take the walk. If your are curious […]

How to set goals 

So, how to set goals in the beginning of a year? After the start of 2016 I’ve been speculating about what my personal goals for the year should be and how to track and measure them. This line of thought made me consider the general aspect of having goals either on a personal level or on a professional level. Within the world of marketing and branding the KPI’s and campaign goals can be extremely fluffy or slurred within feelings and […]

Going Through Photos On The Hard Drive 

After I started using Lightroom to sort and edit my photos, I also started to rediscover some old work. Old work which never saw the light of day (on an online platform or print format). I came by this photo of center Copenhagen prior to the Metro construction which takes up most of this square (Kongens Nytorv) at the moment. It looks like the sky is on fire! Pretty dramatic in a way. And pretty metaphoric for the current political […]

Likemind Copenhagen

5 reasons to get up early and network.

The previous Likemind Copenhagen Network Event had more than 100 signups. The turn up was fantastic and that made me reflect on the journey I’ve been through to reach this point. The amount of different stories and people I have met by arranging this is countless. All this combined inspired me to list 5 good reasons for you to get up in the morning and say “Hello” to a stranger. I’ll get back to that. A very long time ago […]

Spring time in Copenhagen

We are getting closer for the spring in our lovely city. I got this on my way home from work the other day. Still playing around with the functionalities and possibilities with the Gopro Hero 4 cam. I think this one turned out pretty good. 🙂 trying it in 500 x 243 from flickr embed

Why I love Crossfit = why I don’t blog …

I just realized that since I started at the Crossfit Copenhagen center “church of pain” i haven’t done any blogging. Besides microblogs such as twitter, instagram etc. I wonder if that refers to the video in the previous post: ”If you dont have time, stop watching TV.” The last 8/9 months I have allocated my time to training which means less time to online spare time activities. Such as blogging… Crossfit is for me an ideal training form. I love […]

Shepard fairey art at Jagtvej 69

Go home yankee hipster… ??

I nearly feel obligated to write this blog after I wrote my previous blog post about Shepard Fairey. So much has happened around the art exhibition in V1 and the creation / destruction of a mural at Jagtvej 69 originally by Shepard Fairey. I am not going to give the whole story from A-B as that is already written here: Copenhagen Post 2 (Bad) by S. Fairey him self. Of course with his viewpoint, which I quite like and support. Personally I live just […]

Shepard fairey, jagtvej 69, ground 69, graffiti streetart copenhagen denmark

Shepard Fairey painted my hood !

This saturday night I was going to cook lasagna with me good friend Anders Graae. I came out of my flat and turned the corner and saw some guys doing a serious paint work. It was for sure professional course they had a lift and everything… From where I stood I could only see the word: Peace, and that the work was in progress. I love streetart, so I took a photo to put on Instagram, I added the text saying: I´m looking foreward […]

The Empathic Civilisation

My previous blogpost about DF (Danish people party) stealing the Danish national flag, generated a heavy offline debate in my mailbox. I am not going to share that here as it was sent to me personally and not shared as a comment. But I would still like to follow up on the thread, because I see no meaning in building these walls around our country and I see no meaning in fearing the unknown! I speak from my own point […]

integration nørrebro serhat

Sarhat my favorite little kid from Copenhagen!!

Yesterday I wrote a very serious blog post about how horrible and awful I found Alex Ahrendtsen election video campaign. And that made me think of what I really do like instead. In order to stay within the frames: integration, open boarders and video… I started looking for a video I saw along time ago! I love this video with little Sarhat from Nørrebro Copenhagen dropping knowledge to a great little beat! It´s all in danish but the boy really do have some […]

Vollsmose anmelder Alex Ahrendtsen for racisme-video

Alex Ahrendtsen A good example of bad communication

The other day I got a tweet from @kaaresorensen a journalist from JP. It was a about a new “election” video in favor for Alex Ahrendtsen from the right winged Danish Folk party. The video is pretty much everything I am against and I had my doubts if I should post it on my blog or not… I came to the conclusion with my self, that I would rather help spreading the word of “how bad” it is, rather than just leaving it […]

There where not that many people participating but the crowed was full of people who shared the same dream: peace and democracy in […]

Bikes in Copenhagen – and Abus marketing campaign

I have been without a bike for a very long time! – some people would say too long..! Now however i finally got my self together to invest in a bike. I found a pretty good one for a cheap price and then came the next question. Which lock should I get? probably the most important choice if you don´t want the bike stolen… And believe it or not but there is a lot of bikes being stolen in Copenhagen! […]

The blog only lives in my head!

For way too long this blog has only been living in my head! It has been trying to get out, but it got stopped by the heavy workload! Most of my blogging time, have been spent on voluntary work for Masanga Hospital and the Christmas Calender blog. See it at www.masangacreatinglife.wordpress.com. I made a new update every day during December with stories from the different volunteers at the Masanga Hospital. In order to get the many blogupdates down in written […]

My relationship with Flickr

I started using Flickr for a long time ago. Though I love taking photos I never really became a fan of Flickr. It has always been one of these “by the side things” that I already had signed up for and that I felt I was suppose to use because I like photos… From the very start I loved the possibilities to talk with other photo enthusiasts about photos. In that way the community actually fulfilled my expectations… but still […]

A new era is starting

for a very long time I have been taking photos with a Sony @100 camera. I have been extremely happy to learn about digital photography with that camera! The quality of the pictures really took shape when I made the investment of a Sigma lince going to f 1:2,8. How ever I have wanted to upgrade my equipment both in order to get higher quality of my pictures and also, read mainly, get back into a practice mode in order […]

My life in Copenhagen

Everyday I look at my blog, and I question my self why I don´t update more often. Then I ask my self: “what is there to post and share”? My reflections about the use of this blog is pretty interesting for me. It turns out that my blog have been used mainly to tell about travels, and thereby show pictures from different corners of the world and episodes that I have been in. I would like to keep that stile, […]

Dancing old ladies in Shanghai streets

This Blog, its origin and the blog supporters

Blogging photos like this, is my main reason for blogging at all. This blog post goes out as an acknowledgment to those who have inspired me to get started with social medias such as blogging, twitter, facebook, ning, flickr etc. The idea of starting blogging came from the many different projects and […]

Browsing old photos from Århus

When I was browsing through some of the photos on my hard drive from Århus, I came by this one. A photo that tells some of the stories for what you can see when you stroll around the outskirts of the city. I spent 3 years in Århus studying at the Kaospilot education, all those years I missed Copenhagen. Now being back in Copenhagen and finding photos like this one from the hard drive I miss the surroundings of Århus. […]

Copenhagen Frozen lakes

Winter in Copenhagen

The other day I took a walk in the cold but fresh winter weather in Copenhagen with my two friends Mark H. Beanland and Anders Graae. We were chilling around with the idea of finding a nice little place to eat. On our way we passed the frozen lakes… It was a pretty great feeling to walk on solid ice! this shows how much colder it is this year compared to last year. Around last year I made this blog […]
