Wrapped buildingsPhotos by Mads Dam
Sometimes buildings are wrapped in various materials for various purposes; renovation or art.
Not sure about this one, but sometimes I prefer an ocean of possibilities instead of a few boring facts... Old counting machinesNightshots by Mads Dam
One late night I was wandering home, and passed a shop specializing in old things.
3 old counting machines were displayed, and I stopped and wondered:
Old calculators were slow and inefficient, and they were large.
A modern equivalent would be a microprocessor so tiny, that it was invisible to the naked eye.
But, as the photos reveal, these old monsters were quite beautifull, nevertheless... The Bull and the DragonA Fountain in Copenhagen
I've seen this fountain many times before, but this time my camera also saw it... Midsummer FireCopenhagen June 2008

More Fire photos..? Recycle StationFuturistic buildings in High Tåstrup
May / June 2008 Mikala Lykke was invited to create a sculpture of recycle materials in in High Tåstrup, just south of Copenhagen. GlassTransparent motives
Transparent, semivisible, looking through... ScratchesWritten with rust
Some surfaces receive so many bites by the teeth of time, that they may end looking like drawings written with rust... RappenskraldeA recycle sculpture
Some weeks ago Mikala Lykke was invited to create a sculpture of recycle materials, in High Tåstrup, just south of Copenhagen.
I promised to help her. Sunday May 25 we had 4 hours to complete the sculpture, and here's some photos to illustrate the process... |
Summer 2008Summertimes sometimes
We hardly had any winter in 2007/08. Hopefully we'll get some summer instead... PaveMentalWalking vistas
Certain things we walk on, stand on, spill and spit on, perhaps even puke on. We take them for granted, but we never take a look. Here I did the opposite, have a look, look around.
The pavement is an overlooked gallery: Here are the images from the stone and asphalt ages... Winter 2008Snow photographs
We hardly had any winter in 2007/08. But a few times snow fell after all, I rushed out to capture some glimpses... Charlottenborg |

Usually photos are good at recording space, while video is required to capture time as well. However, in this collection I try to include both time and space in a single photograph. UnknownUnidentified motives![]()

The 4 ElementsAre there more than four?
The idea of 4 elements are usually seen as obsolete metaphysics,
that finally collapsed centuries ago. However, this is only partly true.
The original theory made physical sense, but created nonsense when applied chemically. |
E A R T HSolid, stabil, unmoving matter.
If the aspect of a fixed form is lost, then we'll get the next element: W A T E RFluid form, but the volume is still constant.
If a fixed volume also is lost, we'll get the next element: A I RFluid form and volume,
but still some substance that creates atmospheric pressure.
Air may be in perpetual motion, but it is always there.
Loose that and we'll have the next element: F I R ENothing is no longer fixed, not even existence. Fire comes and goes.
But though it seems insubstantial, it still leaves tangible traces in the rest of the world. Next element?If another aspect is lost, we'll have the next element above Fire.
Any suggestions? My own kandidate could be light, as it leaves no traces at all. Deeper?How about an element below Earth? Which aspect should then be added?
I wonder if Black Holes could fit, but there could be other candidates:
Any idea..? |
FireBurning flaming motives
Man is the only animal on Earth that knows the art of manipulating fire.
Maybe that's why we also love to play with it. Even though it can be a hungry beast.
Here's some burning, flaming, fleeting views... AirCopenhagen skies
The sky is an eternal kaleidoscope.
Here are some sights from recent years.
