American Pictures:

So far I have 3.400 of my American pictures up on this site. Since I have never been interested in photography as an art very few of my pictures can stand alone. They have all been taken for a cinematic narrative on racism with simple, quickly grasped motives and are therefore also here on the Internet best viewed in such a pedagogic context.
That you can see here in the form of the world's biggest online picture book which I have made for the many professors - from Yale to Stanford as well as European elementary school teachers - who used my printed, but now sold out book in their teachings.
But preferably they should all be seen in the musical-multimedia-show which has moved people all over the world. I am right now looking for funding to help make that movie available on an educational interactive DVD about racism - again for teachers, Internet, TV etc. It will also include photographic life stories on most of the people whom I have followed photographically for almost 30 years - all too often from cradle to grave - as well as interviews and videos. So please help me if you have any good ideas for funding and sponsors since my own income is only like that of - well - a school teacher.

Other countries:

I rarely get time to photograph, but once every two years I usually take off from my lectures in America for a week or two to a new country to help free myself of my creeping Americanized thinking - often to do volunteer work for CARE. The longest stays have been in Bolivia and Nepal, but the most personal relationships I had with the people I lived with in the slums of Haiti and especially Namibia. If you like my American Pictures you should take a look at my African pictures for comparison.

Other issues:

I love to photograph my friends - and to tease them a bit on the Internet. Also I have increasingly started photographing the minorities I work with in Europe where racism is directed more against Muslim immigrants than blacks.

Pictures for My Genealogy Pages
from my family's photo archives :

For good reasons I did not take all these family photos myself. I have only included a few pictures from the 1st and 2nd generation since only the older generations have significance for related genealogists around the world.
The pedigrees are shown under each picture. For my children and myself I have mainly included pictures relating to the other issues on this site - such as racism, hitchhiking, USA, Africa etc. My wife's side is not finished yet - just as my own will probably never be. The text to the first 10 generations is so far only in Danish, for who else really cares about MY family?

And of special interest to our millions of distant cousins around
the world with whom we share the same historical ancestors:

11-150th generation

Even though you may descend mostly from peasants and thus can only trace your ancestors 300 years back in parish registers, the nobles and earlier rulers (with credible genealogical tables) had sufficient affairs on the side to make the above and most other historical celebrities your likely ancestors or distant cousins - unless you are of Eskimo, Polynesian, American Indian or Australian Aborigine descent.
