In 1981 I photographed Islandic actor Arni Petur Gudjonsson in Copenhagen with a Polaroid SX 70 camera. When I was about to press the release button, he approached the camera.

Statue of Liberty

by jenschristiantop.com 14th August 2016 in Culture Scapes0 comments

A quarter scale – but complete copy of the Statue of Liberty in New York was donated to the city of Paris by the Parisian community in America to mark the centennial of the French Revolution. The statue was inaugurated July 4, 1889, and it was placed on Île aux Cygnes in River Seine. In order to meet the Statue of Liberty in Paris I took the metro to Javel/André Citroën. After visiting the statue I walked along Allée des Cygnes to Pont de Bir-Hakeim. This was in the year 2000, when I photographed in the cemeteries of Paris.

Meanders

When I flew to Los Angeles april this year, I saw some meanders from the aeroplane. I photographed them surrounded by a town through a window in the fuselage of a Boing 474-400. Back in Denmark I found out, that the town was Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and the river was Red River of the North.
