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. Currently I mostly use a Canon EOS 7D DSLR, and once in a while also a Canon PowerShot S series camera, for when the DSLR is too heavy to lug around.
Should you come across any of my contributed pictures which haven't been transferred here yet, and/or are in a very low resolution, please let me know and I'll see what I can do about it.
Galleries (not up-to-date) of contributed images taken by me follows. Many more images can be found in my online photo album, but those images aren't available under a free license until contributed here by me – feel free to ask.
