Gratitude is Universal

UPDATE 2: On December 22. Museum of Modern Art of Naples opened its doors to a fantastic evening of charity, (more about the concept in the original post below). More than 300 people filled the halls enjoying great food, live music, origami art and the exhibition of 14 of my images from Japan. A last, but heartfelt, Thank You to my great sponsors for making this exhibition possible. The images are now in transit to Denmark, where they will be on display on January 22 in Øksnehallen… Read the full story…

I’ll be speaking at Ignite Denmark

On Tuesday, March 1. I’ll be speaking at Ignite Denmark! I’ll be talking about visual storytelling as a necessary tool for humanitarian and social organisations, to raise awareness and funding for their projects. I hope to see you there! (I’ll be speaking in Danish)
Location: Copenhagen, Huset i Magstræde, 4th floor @6pm
Full program for the evening here

If you don’t know Ignite – you definitely owe it to yourself to go. Ignite is a fantastic and very inspiring community, packed with passionate people, great thinkers and big ideas. It’s fast-pased, fun and thought-provoking. Each speaker gets 5 minutes on stage, with 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. Its run by local volunteers connected through a global Ignite network. The talks are streamed online, sharing the local Ignites with the world. Their motto is a personal favorite of mine: Inspire me, but do it fast!

A quick update

As many of you know I had a really busy end of last year, which are now finally clearing up. It’s a very exciting time for me and the work I’m building around my humanitarian photography. I’m currently talking with many different organizations about their communication, my key point being, as always, that effective cause-based communication and fundraising needs a strong, direct and moving visual base. Responses are good and I look forward to deepen these relations into strong collaborations. I’m also working on a few other very interesting projects of which I can talk more about very soon. Looking forward to more!

Welcome!

Yes! My new blog made it online before I’m closing the bag (and the laptop) for Haiti – leaving in a few days to meet up with Zoriah and do some great work together. Looking forward to be able to focus on one thing; storytelling through my photos.

I’m hoping to get my main website www.utopianmind.net up and running as well in a new look before Haiti, my great friend Jakob is giving me a big hand – but let’s see if we make it. Probably won’t have much of an internet connection there anyway.

So now that I have a blog system that works (wordpress of course…) and a layout that feels good (thanks to Rodrigo Galindez) – there is much much more to come! Many plans ahead – for this blog and the coming website – and a few other things I can’t talk about yet.
