Walking around the city with my Leica loaded with a roll of Ilford FP4 Plus, when the jet lag has weaned off but I am ready to fly home weary of the week living out of a hotel room and without a car.

Fifteen years ago I’d have not guessed how American I am.

This time of the year Copenhagen is unobviously warmer than Seattle and pair that with ~10 miles of walk a day, couple of beers at lunch hour and a warm winter jacket could make one uncomfortably warm. Given that this is not the business tourist season in Scandinavia, I was on the hunt for opportunities to photograph daily life.

This was not the first time we were in Copenhagen and hopefully not the last time either. I love this city: if there is a place in the old world or east of the Atlantic that I feel at home, that would this region - the islands and landmass around the strait of Øresund.
