ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National Cemetery displays an impressive ritual, which has been documented by photographers over and over again. So, in a different approach, I've abandoned documentation. I don't want to depict the specific changing of the guard at day of my visit to Arlington. Instead I've created a collage showing the general notion of 'changing the guard'.

AUTHOR
Once a scholar, now a photographer:
I have studied German Language and Literature, and History of Art. For decades I was a professor of German, but after retiring, however, I have started a new career as a full time fine art photographer.
As a photographer I'm looking for aesthetically interesting, thrilling, appealing or pleasing constellations. These I may find where ever I go with my camera, and, back home in front of my computer, I often modify the results by digital manipulation. In the quest for aesthetic constellations I don't confine myself to certain subjects or a certain style. I move in all directions where inspiration takes me.
I live and work in Aarhus, Denmark.
