Det regner for vildt i Dubai
































Sidste uge tilbragte jeg tre dage i Dubai (UAE). Det regner alle tre dage. Og ikke bare regnede - himlen åbnede sig, og vand i mængder æt på bibelske proportioner kom ned frem himlen. 

Dubais kloaksystem er ikke bygget til at rumme så meget vand, som et af billederne tydeligt viser.

Jeg tror at 1/3 af alle kraner er placeret i Dubai. Uanset hvor kikker hen ser man en bygning i gigantiske proportioner skyde op fra ørken sandet. Den højeste bygning - Burj Dubai Skyscraper - i verden er ved at blive bygget (se foto).

Da Martin Professional har leveret eksternt lys til at oplyse verdens største moske - Sheikh Zayed Mosque i Abu Dhabi - fik jeg også en chance for at besøge denne fantastiske bygning.

    I really would love to go to Dubai one day - especially as they also have some of the great golf courses in the World :o)

    Kind regards,

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
