Your Bio

Greetings!

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Jannik. I'm a philosopher and classicists by training but I am also *very* fond of photography! I live with my wife, Julie, and our two kids, Sikker and Kirstine, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Most of the images here are from that city - where I have been living since October 1965 when I was 7 months old! Although I've been in love with photography for as long as I can remember, I only got a digital camera, when my wife and I had our first child in August 2002. For that reason and a lot of others quite a few of the images here are family pictures :-) I started out with a Canon PowerShot A40, then upgraded to an A80 and finally jumped to a Konica Minolta Dimage A200 when we had our next child :-) With that camera I managed to avoid the jump to dSLR for more than a year! Eventually, I gave in and I now shoot almost exclusively with a Konica Minolta Dynax 5D.

Feel free to post a comment on what works - or doesn't work - for you in my pictures (either by adding a comment or by sending an email to: smug at moseand.com).

Occasionally, I write a little more about my images on my blog.

Signe - a very good friend of Kirstine and Sikker in a field of flowers at Hillerød, Denmark

Kirstine in b&w

A rose in late sunlight

Shot across the fence of a small garden in Guldbergsgade - one of the strangest streets in all of Copenhagen because of its intense mix of people with all kinds of income-level and ethnic background. On the one hand it's a street that's kind of tucked away - for years it was a street with *very* little traffic. For this reason it was often used by less kind people to dump worn out (or stolen) cars. It was not uncommon to see "new" old cars every week - without license plates and with broken windows (often without doors and seats as well). In recent years the area has seen a tremendous growth in small shops, restaurants, kindergartens - and one of Copenhagen's most popular cinemas. For this reason it is now a very popular street with all kinds of trendy people moving around between the local drunks :-)

I did several vertical versions - but none came out with as pleasing light and colours as this one. I did pop it up in Picasa, but even without pop it was much superior to the other (better composed) versions.

Just a reflection I liked

Kistine picking wild flowers. Another shot from our recent visit to good friends in Hillerød, Denmark.

Sunrays over Lake Sortedam in Copenhagen (please view as large as your monitor permits)

My daughter, Kirstine :-) You are only seeing a small part of the artwork here. Only her neck and back wasn't painted today! That's what happens when both mum and dad are busy...

A lamp shade - rather large and peculiar and placed in the ceiling of the 1930's house of my father-in-law

Yes, I know - there's no way of stopping a father from showing off his kids to the world :-) Yet another shot of Kirstine from a day where she painted herself from top to bottom

Kirstine again :-)

Still trying to improve my portrait skills - so here is another shot of Sikker. I had a hard time cropping this one in a satisfying way. The bulge on Sikkers cheek didn't help :-)

Well...last image from a happy Saturday! Kirstine and Signe having fun :-)

From the archives. I am slowly putting all my favourite images on SmugMug. My flowergallery is almost done now:

Julie and Sikker having fun in Tivoli - with Sikker waving enthusiastically at someone he thinks is me :-)

A scene from the oldest churchyard in Copenhagen - Assistentens Kirkegård. Hundreds of famous writers, musicians and respectable citizens resting right in the middle of Nørrebro, the solid working-class part of Copenhagen where almost all of the radical left in Denmark are living (and this photographer) :-)

My son, Sikker, walking on Boserupvej in one of the largest forests in Denmark: Gribskov in the northern part of Zealand. Obviously, this image is not from today - but I am currently rebuilding my galleries at SmugMug and in that process I will permit myself to upload a few previously un-posted images from the archives to my DailyPhotos-gallery :-)

Kirstine enjoying life in Tivoli. I have long been thinking about getting a more portable camera to complement my trusty Konica Minolta dSLR. Since I also wanted a music player, I decided to get both in one packet and went for a Nokia N95 8GB phone. This is one of the first decent shots from that phone (out of almost hundred)!

Kirstine listening to a funny story while eating a water melon :-)

Kirstine will happily smile to accomodate the photographer. She is still working to get that smile completely natural, though :-)

Wifey ready to go :-)

You know that you are obsessed with photography, when you just have to take a picture of the bubbles when doing the dishes :-)

Kirstine eating peas with her grandfather

Kirstine playing the lute.

A fantastic rainbow over the popular café-area, Sankt Hans Torv, on Nørrebro in Copenhagen. People were all over the place taking photographs of this rainbow - coming out of the cafés where they had been hiding from the massive rain today :-) I had to look after my kids who were busy dancing in the pits of water around the most ugly fountain in Copenhagen (possible even: in the world) - so I couldn't concentrate very hard on photography :-) But I do promise to get my sensor cleaned very soon!

Another phone shot from this weeks visit to Tivoli Gardens.

I'm still submerged in my archives - so here is a shot from the Roundtower in Copenhagen
