A loyal and avid reader since issue 06, it is about time that I make room for a few lines on my blog for Monocle — one of the best magazines in print today.

Founded by Tyler Brûlé, who also started Wallpaper magazine, Monocle is a global affairs magazine comprising niche stories, anecdotes essays, photo montages, and more in affairs, business, culture, and design. It is a cosmopolitan mix-and-match, and its sweet layout and structuring makes it great for reading on the flight, in the bathtub or on the couch.

What continues to amaze me about Monocle is that, although highly globally oriented, Denmark somehow finds its way into each and every issue (at least how I recall it) — the peak was, as some of you may remember (correctly), when Monocle placed Copenhagen as the second most livable city in the world last summer. If nothing else, Denmark at least has a place in the Kita Koga manga series at the back of each issue where Niels Watanabe goes through life as a new James Bond.

If this sounds anything like something you like, pick it up. You won’t look back.

I did a small photo walk in Paris earlier today — it was a beautiful day, where the sun popped out and shed light on the recently renovated Notre Dame (behind the saxophone player in the photo). It has been way too long since my last visit to Paris (I think four years (!)). That will not happen again.

I have finally found the time to gather some photos from the CBS Case Competition 2006. You can have a look at them here. I will upload more, when I get the time. For now, all the pictures that are up, are from our award banquet. Below, a picture from the award banquet of my good friend Christoffer and I.

During my Christmas vacation (which is not really a vacation–four exams in January), I’ve had some time to browse through older photographs that I’ve taken. Below is a shot from Vevey overseeing Lake Geneva.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

From when I lived in NYC. Read more about the Statue of Liberty at Wikipedia.

Browsing my photographs, I found a picture I took August last year when I was studying at NYU. Sometimes, I dream myself back to the city, but–as alluring as dreaming maybe–one should always try to breathe in the moment. In fact, I find there is some healthy balance to be found between past, present, and future in which your mind should be. Where is it exactly? In any case, in these minutes I dream.

My good friend, Stefan Jung, has a new blog post on happiness, where he uploads a lot of pictures of happiness from a photography competition.

I thought that was a very nice idea, so I just dug up a few pictures from my archives.

All the pictures are from a camp near Mullsjo, Sweden, except no. 3, which is from Bryant Park, NYC.

In October, I was in Lausanne (photos from my trip). One of my friends, who lives down there, has just gone crazy and uploaded an inferno of beautiful photographs from the Swiss Autumn.

He also made a photo of my private tennis court – I love the view I have there. Check it out :-).

Of the more than 250 photos I took, I have assembled a small slide show of about 30.

• Pictures from my trip to Lausanne October 13-18 2005

This morning I landed in Copenhagen Airport – back from Lausanne. I’ll give you the story later, along with some more photos, but for now you will have to do with this photograph from the town of Vevey, which used to be home for Charlie Chaplin.
