Presence

Wouldn’t it be nice…
To arrive with something
Made by hand
A page where colors once
Listened to your breath …
A small painting carrying a piece of your day
Not bought, but felt, and gently given …

Wouldn’t it be nice…
To gift a folded note, written slowly
With words that sat beside
Your heart for a while
Ink becoming warmth in
Someone else’s hands
A letter that lingers longer
Than any object …

Wouldn’t it be nice…
To bring a pressed flower
From a walk you loved
Held between pages like a
Secret of the earth
A moment of stillness
Wrapped in paper
A memory, passed from you to them …

Wouldn’t it be nice…
To offer a jar filled with tiny intentions
Little lines of hope, of courage, of light
So on heavy days, they can open one
And find you there, in a sentence …

Wouldn’t it be nice…
If our gifts carried pieces of our presence
Instead f things that fade
Without a story
A drawing, a word, a fragment of soul
Simple, and somehow, enough …

There is always something happening in the buzzing city of Ho Chi Minh - whether it is the bustling main streets, crowded with motorcycles, or back alleys where people get along with their daily lives.

Re-live the vitality of Ho Chi Minh City with me: https://shootingrays.weblog.lol/2026/01/street-photography-of-ho-chi-minh-city

Light to Night 2026 felt less like a spectacle and more like a negotiation—between light and stone, people and institutions, permanence and interruption.

I wrote a short reflection on the experience, shaped by quiet moments, temporary glow, and human scale against immovable architecture.

📸 Who inspires a photojournalist?
I get asked this question often, so I’ve finally written a blog post about it.

I admire these photographers deeply: some are colleagues I’ve worked alongside, others I’ve followed for years, and a few I’ve never met but whose work continues to shape visual journalism at its best.

From breaking news to long-form storytelling, red carpet to refugee camps, their work always teaches me something.

Swipe through, and check the full post on my blog.

New on the blog: Auroras Don't Come Easy

"Part of the charm of the Northern Lights is the very fact that they are not easy to capture. Hard enough to plan your travels to be at the right place at the right time, and even then you're often at the limits of your camera gear and your clothing."

After creating my tech blog with #Hugo #SSG with the #anatole theme, I decided to create another static blog dedicated to photography. I wanted to go for a #python based #staticsitegenerator like #pelican but the themes were a bit lackluster... Since I already have experience with Hugo, I decided to go for a more documented theme this time: #Blowfish. Looking forward to working out a smoother Hugo workflow for image optimization, automated webp conversions and galleries. #photographyblog

The joy of being somewhere that other people are not. In your mind and through the lens.

My joy in life is photography. To share what makes the world beautiful and help others on their journey to finding their most creative path.

My website is all about the philosophy of photography, with a smattering of practical guides as well. I run a few workshops and tours for those who enjoy IRL experiences :)

I love all things Arctic and Himalayas. And Asia. And the Outback!

In between other priorities this week, I put a new page on the website to gather up some of my favie stories from recent years.

We finally got around to gathering stories and photos of our trip to Lisbon in November:

▶️ https://gegenwind.dk/lisbon-in-november/

We were amazed by people's tolerance and openness to be photographed and enjoyed the bustling vibe of the city - so very different to Copenhagen in November. 😆

Over a decade ago I started writing about photography and now I have a blog section on my website to share those moments when I am compelled by words.

It's not all about photos :)
