Pink Floyd - Det bedste rock band i historien

Det er blot min konstatering. Pink Floyd er den britiske gruppe næst efter The Beatles, som har opnået størst kommerciel succes, med over 300 millioner albumeksemplarer solgt på verdensplan. Det er nok de færreste der ved det.

Jeg opdagede Pink Floyd, da jeg var 16 år og købte "Wish You Were Here (1975)" LP'en på et marked i Spanien - nok mest fordi LP'en havde et fantastisk flot cover (allerede der var jeg fascineret af fotografiet som medie).


Denne LP'en åbnede et helt nyt musik univers, og jeg vil ikke tøve med at påstå, at mange af melodierne på denne LP har været med til at definere mit liv, ved at have stor indflydelse på mit sind i en ung alder.

Numre som "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Welcome to the Machine" and "Wish You Were Here" står mejslet i min hukommelse, og den dag i dag får jeg kuldegysning, når jeg hører dem.

Kort efter købte jeg deres 1973 udgivelse "The Dark Side of the Moon" og sidenhen fulgte de fleste af deres albums. Jeg er ikke så begejstret for deres mere syrede periode (1967-1970).

En anden gigantisk Pink Floyd milepæl var udgivelsen af albummet "The Wall (1979)" - vel nok et af de mest episke rock værker nogen siden.




Numre som "Another Brick in The Wall", "Hey You" og især nummeret "Comfortably Numb" med rock historiens bedste guitar solo, er rock musik, der vækker alle følelserne i mig - selv efter at have lyttet til dem tusinde gange.

Jeg kan anbefale alle, der endnu ikke kender Pink Floyd, at købe deres opsamlings CD - "The Best of Pink Floyd" (2 Disc).

  1. Pink Floyd er klart det stærkeste band gennem tiden, og jeg glemmer aldrig deres koncert i Gentofte for snart 20 år siden. Jeg kan anbefale at gå ind og se den danske gruppe "Pink Floyd project" - det er det tætteste man kan komme på en fed oplevelse, og hvor det lyder som de originale. her er linket med deres koncerter for 2011 http://www.pinkfloydproject.dk/koncerter.htm

Blue Cloth Ornament - Day 131

While visiting some our good friends Christina & Morten I had the opportunity to demonstrate some photo apps on my iPhone to nice person who still was unaware of all the bliss appearance on social media can bring you. 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.
