I was out streetshooting in the city, when I saw this guy sitting in a cafe, having an irish coffee. I tried getting some snaps of him from a distance, but it simply wasn't working out, so I finally decided to go ahead and ask him straight out.

The man turned out to be a professor from Canada, visiting Denmark to give lectures in quantum mechanics and meta physics (geez), and let me take a picture of him.

He told me that if I had asked him any other day, he would have said straight out no, but something had happened earlier that day that made him change his mind;

He was having breakfast at the hotel he was staying at, and a woman had served him a tray with fruits on it. He told me that she had long, red hair, and the most beautiful face he had ever seen in his life - and that he could not stress enough how much he had wanted a picture of her.

He told her, and she looked at him and said 'Just keep it up here' and had tapped her temple.

'If it's anything like that, I see exactly what situation you're in', he told me, and I took a couple of pictures of him before shaking his hand and thanking him.

So yeah, that's the story behind the professor.


The photo is a bit different from what I usually do, but I hope people will like it anyway.
