I was born and raised in the city of Aalborg in northern Denmark, and now, at 42 years of age, I still reside in the area. My regular job is driving a taxi, which carries the benefit of getting around the area a lot, which is useful when I tend to keep my camera bag close in my car or the taxi. Quite a few of my pictures are actually captured while at work. I do, however, occasionally find the time to go for a regular photo-trip, and enjoy forgetting time and place while I am out and about.

I have probably always been interested in photography, but it has been quite a bumpy ride. It all started with my getting a small and simple camera when I was about 10. I don't remember make or model, but it was made from a kind of cheap plastic, made square images, used a kind of cubic flashes you attached on top of it yielding one flash per side (of four) before needing replacement. I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. I took photography classes in the last couple of years of school, and enjoyed making pictures in a darkroom - a skill I have long forgotten by now. Later I mostly took family pictures, but was kind of limited by my wife who kept telling me to put down "that stupid camera" and not bother people with it anymore. The big break in photography came 5 years ago when I was divorced. One of the first things I did was buying a decent camera (at that time it was a Konica-Minolta Z6), and I never looked back.

Now I am on my third camera since rediscovering photography, the fabulous Nikon D700. I use it along with a range of lenses: 14-24, f2.8 - 24-70, f2.8 - 70-200 f2.8VR, all Nikkors, 105mm Sigma macro, 35mm Nikkor f2.0, and teleconverters for extending range when needed. Software is CS4 and Photomatix pro. I have been trying to get to grips with Hugin, an open source panorama stitcher as well. It is supposed to be capable of amazing results, but somehow I fail to achieve just that. Any tips would be appreciated. My computer is a quadcore with 4GB of RAM and two 1TB hard drives in a mirrored raid configuration (can't help being a little paranoid in face of a drive crashing and taking all of my precious images with it).

I have no special area of photographic interest. Usually I have periods with  something sparking an interest, and after a period of exploring that I move on to something else. I do, however seem to be returning to low-light photography and lightpainting on a semi-regular basis. At the moment I am into panoramas and HDR as well.

I have a website at dreamcatcherphotography.eu, and feel free to peek if you like.
