Bodybuilding Thru The Lens of Danish Photographer Joachim Ladefoged
2008-05-03 19:20:00 Popeye biceps, rippling six-packs, and supernaturally dark tans: these pumped-up people have trained for a Scandinavian bodybuilding contest by shaking off every last ounce of fat. But even if you admire their commitment, it is hard not to recoil in confusion at such asexual specimens.It was this reaction – something between respect and disgust – which prompted the Danish photographer Joachim Ladefoged to photograph this slew of hard-bodies. He took a mixture of black and white and colour photography at the Danish Bodybuilding Championship in 2001 and similar events in the ensuing years, underexposing the subjects to make them appear darker still. The resulting snaps are assembled in a book, Mirror (the title a nod to his models' narcissism), to be published later this year."For me, personally, these people are all strangely photogenic," he says. "Bodybuilding is like theatre in many ways. The tan – which they use to cast shadows across their muscles, so they can be picked ou...

Assistens Kirkegaard on a sunny Saturday morning: Hardly a classic Danish f
2008-04-20 22:15:00 There isn't really such a thing as a classic Copenhagen flea market ('Loppemarked', in Danish). But if there was, it would certainly not be the one found in from of the yellow wall surrounding Assistens Kirkegaard along Norrebrogade every Saturday morning for the next few months. But there's no mistaking that it is indeed a flea market.Nrrebro, as an area of colourful characters and great cultural diversity, is hardly representative of what typically is found elsewhere around Copenhagen, not to mention in the rest of Denmark. It is therefore hardly a coincidence that Nrrebro's Saturday morning flea market really pulls out in an amazingly diverse cast of characters - both a sellers and as buyers.As one of the major veins running outwards from the center of Copenhagen, Nrrebrogade is a prime location for such a market. There are no shortage of those perusing for treasures. From elderly people in electric carts purring along the bike paths, stopping occasionally to haggle for o...

Responsing evil with hateful ignorance | Danish newpaper republish Muhammad
2008-02-13 22:58:00 No sane, intelligent person, be it muslim or non-muslim will support the handful fanatics' reaction of the willing to harm and kill the cartoonists who depicted the caricature of Muhammad. Obviously the cartoons and the caricatures were wrong in the first place as they were done with political bias with no fair understanding of Islam or the teachings of the Prophet. Those who drew such cartoons stupidly equate a handful of terrorist with the teaching of Islam, which condemn such behavior in the slightest degree let alone killing innocents.If it is terrorism, which all people of the whole world condemn, then it made much more sense to draw Osama Bin Laden instead of the Prophet. Instead of drawing caricature of Osama Bin Laden (who was infact an ex-CIA agent and supported by America while fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan not so long ago), when cartoons of a religious figure is drawn knowing the sensitivity of the faith, its no brainer to understand the lack of intellect.Danish po...

Danish papers reprint Muhammad cartoons in response to alleged assassinatio
2008-02-13 14:29:00 Denmark has not been in the news as of late, so perhaps in a bid to stir up some more interest in the northern European country, major newspapers are, as of early this morning, reprinting the infamous Muhammad cartoons - or if you take their word for it, they are responding to an alleged attempted assassination plot against the original artist, Westergaard. From CBS News this morning: The Jyllands-Posten newspaper, which first published the 12 drawings on Sept. 30, 2005, reprinted Westergaard's cartoon in its print edition Wednesday. Several other major dailies, including Politiken and Berlingske Tidende, also reprinted the drawing. "We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper will always defend," said the Copenhagen-based Berlingske Tidende. Tabloid Ekstra Bladet reprinted all 12 drawings. At least three European newspapers - in Sweden, the Netherlands and Spain - also reprinted th...
