"Real people"...

from Christel Green (look.no@film.dk)
One of things I love about my part-time job, working for Denmarks smallest daily newspaper (circulation: 2000, readers per copy: 8,6. One weekly with a circulation of 18.000), is that I get to go out and take pictures of people who would usually never make it to the headlines - and wouldn4t want to. An important part of the job is to make them comfortable with the idea of appearing in print. This farmer has been picking archaeological artifacts out of his fields for decades, and his father before him. Recently the local museum took an interest in his collection, started excavating his property and made some interesting discoveries. I asked if I could take a picture of him with some of his favourite stone-axes and arrow-heads.

I like way he4s obviously posing, but not seeming the least self-conscious or uncomfortable. And just look at that hand

...as full of history as the stuff he4s holding. Now that4s a real person :)
