"Above everything; you're a beautiful person. You're words and thoughts are a must to me. I can feel that you're in love with your work, your choices, the objects you choose. But also your vision and the ethics connected. That separates you from just a practical person and a practical worker. You're a creator. Very important too; you're generous, because you share your experience daily."

"Still profiting from the workshop I took with you in 2012. I am lucky enough to be a proud owner of the Leica M now with a 50mm and 28 mm …. I’m an avid reader of your homepage (and your FB postings) and always learn something new."

Copenhagen, Denmark, October 4, 2013

It was a rather international crowd, including my co-judge from I-SHOT-IT.COM Birgit Krippner who visited Copenhagen between getting her award in Paris the week before, and a photo project in Israel the week after. Quite a few people of the 200 guests had jumped on an airplane from somewhere to visit Jan in Copenhagen.

A bonus was that I also got to meet Jan Grarups now 14 year old daughter who took the photo of Jan for the LFI frontpage (LFI/Leica Fotografie International). Inside her dad had a 16 page feature about his Afghanistan project, a book and photo project made with the Leica M Monochrom about the tatoos the soldiers have. Many of them symbolizes memories, friendship and their beliefs in life. See the CNN story on the project.
Jan Grarups daughter Marikka Grarup making sure I get a signed copy of the LFI she did the frontpage of.
The book was available in Danish on the day. Somehow the publishing house Gyldendal.dk - Denmarks largest and most prominent - had not seen the potential in making this photo book in English. So hang on and find it on Jan Grarups website (or mine) after November 1, 2013.

"I remember your words, but more so the energy behind them: Value yourself, don't work for someone else, travel the world, have your own business. It's yours. Go for it ... bit by bit, I'm going for it."
