Several visitors to the page have encouraged me to give some information on myself - thank you - here it is:

About myself:

Born 1946, graduated as physician 1973. Postgradate education in various danish hospitals, mainly in northern Jutland. Specialist in internal medicine 1982, chief physician Frederikshavn Hospital 1987. Left this post in 2000 to be chief physician in the Department of Medicine, Queen Ingrid Hospital,Greenland.
Pregraduate work in Sweden and India (1971-2).
Married to Inge, lab technician, in 1969 - and still is.
Our two children Rasmus and Marie are born in 1973 and 75. Rasmus is married to Susanne and is head of section in Silvan, Aarhus. They have two children, Sofie born 2004 and Frederik from 2008.

Marie finished her studies of medicine in june, 2005, and has moved to Greenland also for further education. She lives with Rasmus (not my son, though same name) who worked with computers at Naturinstituttet, Greenland. Summer 2008 they moved to Tromsoe, Norway - a few months after Inge and I left Greenland also.
Since then, may 2008, I have worked freelance in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, The Faroe Islands and Rwanda. Inge has often joined med, but also worked on her own in Tasiilaq and Maniitsoq some 6-8 weeks a year.
Since many years, Inge and I have a small house far out in the countryside in northern Jutland - Blæsbjerg, where we have spent some of the summer each year, also to see the family and friends in Denmark.

As part of my work in Greenland I travelled several weeks all over the country each years to see patients, and also used leaves for work in other parts of the vast island - and in Norway as well. Postgraduate education takes us to other parts of the world also.
After leaving Greenland for good, I would have liked to stay in Blæsbjerg, but this is too isolated for Inge in winter, therefore we bought a flat in Sæby, where we spend the winter - if we are not somewhere else.
My interests - apart from my work (CV), which I still enjoy - are photography, computers, nature - and virtually everything else. Long hikes, preferably alone in the mountains, soothes my mind. In 2004, I fell down a mountain in Tasiilaq and as a sequel to that has sufferede from a lung disorder, limiting my lung capacity to 50% - so ascents are few and slow now.

About the home page:

Started in 2001 with a few lines and pictures from East Greenland, where I worked for a couple of months then and wanted to share my pictures of the beautiful nature. I used Netscape Composer for the first layout, but for all later improvements sheer html - it is not that difficult, lots of stuff on the net about how to do. After having tried hard on Linux OS in nearly all distributions in past years, I finally succeeded in making Mandrake 10.2 work, but after some time with PCLinuxOS, I now use Ubuntu on my laptop - and the satisfaction of not using Microsoft is great.
For creating picture albums, I used JAlbum since 2002 - a fine piece of software from David Ekholm - and free. However, now I use Picasa from Google for editing and uploading - it may not have all the features of Photoshop and similar, but enough for me. The page links to Davis Vantage Pro weather stations at our houses both in Denmark and in Greenland, and to webcams both places as well. The cams are Logitech 3000 Pro, the webcam software Vision GS. This summer, I will migrate the station to linux. If you want more details about the stations, hardware or software, then email me. There are quite a few facts to consider.

The pictures on the page - I have done amateur photography since 1957 and went digital in 1998. After seing the results of the Sony Cybershot F-707 with Vario Sonnar from Carl Zeiss, I gave all my analog equipment away - and since 2001 work only digital. I have also used Olympus (C400, C2000Z), Nikon 5700, and since 2005, Panasonic FZ20 to my equipment - boasting a x12 Leica zoom, f 2.8 in the whole range - very good, I think - and not very expensive either.
And my old slides? Scanned to PC using Nikon IVED - so all my 35000+ pictures now reside in the computer. All the old 8600+ slides can be found on the page - try jensjk.dk/gamle. Most of the analog photography was done with Minolta equipment. I hesitated to throw out the lenses, though, when I switched to digital, as some of them are quite good - so in 2006 I also bought a DSLR, Minolta 5D - shortly before Minolta was taken over by Sony, using Minolta technology including lens mount for their DSLR alfa-series. This merger is an advantage for me, as Sony also has taken over Zeiss, probably the best lens manufacturer in the world. - So now, I have the option of using my old Minolta lenses on my 5D - AND add Zeiss lenses too. So far, I have added the Zeiss 16-80mm zoom.
