WPC: Danger – Dangers

Posted on May 8, 2017 by Torben Jensen • 6 Comments

Dangers come in many forms, be they physical, legal or just potential, so I especially enjoyed the implicit warning related to being on private property and explicit warning that there is a bull loose on said property in the photo for this weeks photo challenge. Note, these signs were shot on a 60-degree incline leading … Continue reading →

WPC: The Road Taken – The Calm Raft

Posted on March 4, 2017 by Torben Jensen • 1 Comment

Sometimes the road taken is not what you expect. What’s ahead is unknown and scary and possibly not what you actually planned, expected, wanted or feared. So just go out there and do stuff, whatever that stuff is, and see where the road takes you. This shot was taken in Croatia, back in 2006, with my … Continue reading →

WPC: Graceful – Batman in a Tutu

Posted on January 25, 2017 by Torben Jensen • 4 Comments

Anything can be graceful given the right circumstances. Whether it’s a ballet dancer gliding effortlessly across the stage or a man dressed a bat soaring over the rooftops of a gothically themed urban landscape, the spectacles could be considered graceful. So I combined those ideas with my hobby, added a touch of Lightroom to the … Continue reading →

WPC: Ambience – Tree Orbs

Posted on January 16, 2017 by Torben Jensen • 3 Comments

Just a short post this week. A chilly foggy evening in gorgeous, if perpetually clogged with tourists, Brugge. The cold air gave the place a feeling of home, the refreshing coconut beer(s) I had consumed prior to taking this photo may have had some effect as well. The ambience is quite palpable, even if the … Continue reading →

WPC: Names – Temporary

Posted on January 9, 2017 by Torben Jensen • 3 Comments

Names are temporary things. They are concepts that remain fluid and malleable and will ultimately be forgotten as language moves on. We imbue them with great meaning and pride and try to celebrate them with rituals and totems, and then we forget. The long for the history books, if lucky, and then gets left behind. … Continue reading →

WPC: New Horizon – Explore

Posted on December 12, 2016 by Torben Jensen • 3 Comments

The horizon or future is an unknown quantity to some extent. Sure everyone knows that their future both short and long term will involve taxes, chocolate and eventually death, but until then everything can change. Priorities can shift, partners can change and the source of your next paycheck could be a mystery just two months … Continue reading →

WPC: It’s Not This Time of Year Without… – Peberkager

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Torben Jensen • 2 Comments

As an expat, this time of year is always a bit weird. I don’t often go home for Christmas, so celebrations are almost always muted and off-set by the impressions of the culture I am in. So there is little of hold on to when I am not at home. Except for peberkager, or pepperkaker, or pepper cakes, a … Continue reading →

WPC: Magic – Geek Shrine

Posted on November 18, 2016 by Torben Jensen • 1 Comment

Magic is a fickle thing. As children, magic is everywhere. It’s in clouds above and the insects below and the life we experience in-between. We then grow up and everything becomes ordinary and we forget the magic we saw floating by on a Saturday afternoon in May. It’s a special kind of sad, but its life. … Continue reading →

WPC: Tiny – Studs

Posted on November 14, 2016 by Torben Jensen • 1 Comment

There are definitely worse Lego pieces to step on, but these tiny guys are often a pain to find. To make them pop a bit more in the image, I used a filtering setting to make everything B/W and just focus on the one colour. Tried a few variations, but alas my favourite colour orange … Continue reading →

WPC: Chaos – Blissfully Chaotic

Posted on November 10, 2016 by Torben Jensen • Leave a comment

Chaos to me is being blissfully ignorant about something really bad about to happen because I lacked the capacity to see it coming. Its unpredictability combined fear and despair. Our friend in the image was inspired by that. He clearly has no idea that the sky is literally falling around him, about to plunge his plasticky … Continue reading →

WPC: Shiny – Bauble

Posted on October 23, 2016 by Torben Jensen • 2 Comments

It was a sunny Saturday at the Atomium in Brussels when I shot this shiny bauble reflecting a distorted reality back at me. Just a quick snap and off we went. Turned out OK for a quick snap. This post is in response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: Shine Continue reading →

WPC: H2O – Droplets

Posted on October 12, 2016 by Torben Jensen • 1 Comment

First post. I know; EXCITEMENT. Ok fine, not really for you, but this is the humble beginnings of my photo blog and maybe the beginning of a great new hobby. Always loved taking pictures, but rarely made an effort to build any kind of skill or even know the fundamentals of photography. Hence everything is … Continue reading →
