RUDKØBING, LANGELAND

Chresten har fotograferet i mere end 45 år.  I 70erne og 80erne fotograferede han for forlag fx Unge Pædagoger og Munksgaards forlag.

Undervisning (bl. i foto), uddannelsesforskning og ledelse har været hans levevej. Chresten har rejst meget og fotograferet hvor han kom frem, også som en del af hans arbejde.

Siden 2011 har Chresten brugt hovedparten af sin tid på fotografering.

I år har jeg valgt 5 billeder fra Martinique i Vestindien.
Fire af billederne er fra Saint Pierre. Byen blev totalt udslettet i 1902 ved et vulkanudbrud fra Mount Pelee vulkanen. Alle byens 30.000 indbyggere døde. I dag er byen stadig præget af denne frygtelige begivenhed.

Chresten has been photographing for more than 45 years. In the 70s and 80s he photographed for publishers such as Unge Pædagoger and Munksgaards forlag.

Teaching (including in photography), educational research and management have been his life’s work. Chresten has traveled a lot and photographed wherever he went, also as part of his work.

Since 2011, Chresten has spent most of his time on photography.

This year I have chosen 5 images from Martinique in the West Indies.
Four of the pictures are from Saint Pierre. The city was completely destroyed in 1902 by a volcanic eruption from the Mount Pelee volcano. All 30,000 inhabitants died. Today, the city is still marked by this terrible event.
