The Passion of the Friday Bar

The students at the Danish School of Journalism are very passionate
about the Friday Bar. In this video I've tried to capture the essence
of the Friday Bar experience. Enjoy.

Faces of Skanderborg

Pete and I went to Skanderborg the other day on a whim and decided we wanted to make some moving portraits of several of the people in the town. Here is what we came up with.

Sunday Funday

Journalism Students

Several of the semester 3 photo students at school needed headshots
for their internship website. Here are some photos from my shoots with
Jonas and Nadia.

Amir

These photos are from a photo workshop we did in Copenhagen with Lars
Bech from Das Buro. The assignment was to find a stranger and spend a
day with him/her. You had to turn in at least one photo from their
home. I met Amir and immediatly took a liking to him. He is an
incredibly smart Egyptian man who lived in Italy prior to moving to
Denmark. He welcomed me into his home, and let me come to school with
him the following day. Here are the photos I turned in for the
assignment.

skjoldhøjkollegiet

Here are some photos from a portrait series I am working on. The series is a work in progress on people and their rooms at the dorms I live in.

Yeasayer

I photographed Yeasayer this weekend at their sold out show at the
Vega in Copenhagen. This was for a day in the life project, although
it wasn't really a full day. The band was really cool and they put on
an awesome show. The first few photos are what I turned in for the
project; the rest are some of my other favorites.

Day in the life...

Last week I had an assignment to spend the day with a Danish family.
Being sick and unable to speak Danish, this task proved to be far more
difficult than I'd expected. I tried several times to to approach
mothers with their children in the mall, outside the grocery store, at
the bus stop and outside their children's schools. No luck. After
weighing my options: shaving, waiting till I didn't appear feverish,
and looking for American families, I decided to email all of my Danish
friends hoping for a reference instead. It worked. Andreas, one of my
co-workers at the Friday Bar at school, set me up with his brother,
Christian. Christian lives with his wife, Christina, their five year
old daughter, Line, and one and a half year old son, Frederik, in a
small town outside of Aarhus called Hørning. I made the trek out there
Thursday afternoon. Christina picked me up at the bus stop and
took me to get Line from kindergarten. The family surprised me with
how open and friendly they were and it really helped the photos. I
stayed the night at their house and rode the bus back to Aarhus the
following morning with Christian. The first five photos are the ones
that I turned in for the assignment and the rest are the runners up.
