Azimut Brutal Chaos is my routine — a part of the "In search of the one true self" quest …
Marseille, Dark City.
… I was sent to Marseille, south of France, in March 2009, to follow the path of Fabio Montale and make a cover for a book. The then-starting publishing company Labyrint wanted to have a “film noir” oriented cover for their very first publication, Jean-Claude Izzoʼs Total Kheops – a dark and moody crime novel [...]
The night
It is no secret that I am a big fan of Michael Ackerman‘s work… Well, enough said, right? … Taken in the Copenhagen nights of June 2011, during the days of the photo festival, with an Olympus OM2-MD, at night, yes. It was souped in rodinal, standing dev., blabla…

A new BOP exhibition: “Isolation”
I have produced a new exhibition on BOP’s “virtual house of art”… I would be very pleased and honoured if you, dear visitor, would take a virtual stroll there and enjoy the pictures. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. The exhibition is situated here. “Click friend and enter.” As a bonus here is a picture that [...]
…
Shot in Daejeon, South Korea, somewhen at night while stumbling from shady bar to shady bar, fuelled with soju or some other substance (I didn’t know about magkali at that time, fortunately or not) and trying to get back to the hotel …
An old man in Tripoli, Lebanon
This old man is probably repairing a kettle of some sort (actually not, see comments). He was doing it out of a small shop — barely a closet in the wall, to be fair — and was kind enough to let me take his portrait. I like his stare, very profound and serene. I like [...]
Forestry, back to school 101
So now is the time to tell the world what is happening to the back of my pants/trousers … Really? Really. Well, this expression is a frenchism, it comes from “user ses fonds de culotte sur les bancs d’école.” That will take some time to explain and will be totally abstruse, I’m going to enjoy that. [...]
With the BOP master of abandoned buildings
That’s a shot from the archive, during the fled/escape from Denmark to my den in southern France. I met with BOP member Arnaud Thurel (aka Th) and he took me around Grenoble, France for a ride in his evergoing quest for abandoned buildings/factories… This was shot with The Precious, i.e. the amazing Olympus PenF and [...]
He was playing for his soon-to-be-born kid
The title says it all… Good luck with that new life in front of you man. This has been taken with an Olympus OM2-MD and a 35mm 2.8 lens, I am not very used to the 35mm, me being more of a 50mm guy. Learning, i.e. need to get closer.
The streets of San Francisco, at night
It could have been at the end of the 20s or the 50s… Taken in a side street of the Mission district, at night then, with the Olympus OM2-MD. The film is your typical Ilford HP5+ (developed by my new local lab, as I still have to set my bathroom-type Rodinal standing souping facility) One [...]
