Dag 109 - Det er en lille verden


Dette er min ven Peter Normann. Vi læste MBA sammen i 1998 og har været gode venner siden da. Da jeg forleden dag stod og fotograferede langs lysten nord for København og anvendte en gammel træbro som en kompositorisk del af mine fotos, kom der en mand gående langs kysten med sit fiskerudstyr. Mens jeg stadigvæk havde øjet klistret til kameraet lød der en stemme - "Er det OK, at jeg går ud på broen?". Jeg så op og der gik vel 3 sekunder, mens vi bare gloede på hinanden for derefter at bryde ud i latter.

Med til historien hører, at da vi i sommers atter var i vores hus i Italien, havde jeg aftalt at mødes med en fotograf - Erik Bjørn - som vi havde læst om i Berlingske, idet avisen havde fulgt deres hus restaureringsprojekt i Italien. Deres hus ligger kun ganske få kilometer fra vores, så vi ville gerne knytte bånd til flere danskere i området. Min hustru havde arrangeret aftalen, og da vi kørte derover, var vi spændte på hvordan det ville gå. Da vi havde hilst på Erik og hans familie lød der pludselig en velkendt stemme bag ved mig - "Hvad f..... - er det ikke Kirstein himself?". Jeg vendte mig om, og der stod Peter. Det viser sig, at Peter og Erik er naboer i Danmark! Det er sgu da en lille verden!

The subject is the table cloth captured and post processed with the iPhone app "Camera+".

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.
