My name is Kåre Thor Olsen (Kaare) and I'm from Odense in Denmark. I'm mostly active on the Danish language edition of Wikipedia.

I'm an amateur photographer, shooting pictures for primarily my own enjoyment, but if possible also for use in Wikimedia projects. From January 2001 to April 2006 I used a Canon PowerShot G1, from May 2006 to mid-September 2007 I used a Canon PowerShot S3 IS, and since mid-September 2007 I've been using a Canon EOS 40D DSLR.

Should you come across any of my contributed pictures, that haven't been uploaded here yet, are in a very low resolution, or aren't dual-licensed under both GFDL and cc-by-sa-2.5/3.0, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Also, feel free to ask me for permission (it will most likely be granted) to use any other images from my online photo album, most motives are from Denmark, but there are also images from around Mexico, from Stockholm and the regions Scania and Småland in Sweden, from London, and Georgia in the United States.

Galleries of contributed images taken by me follows.
