The Photography of Jacob Holdt

A clever combination of luck and laziness seems to have guided me through life. Yet, as the creator of American Pictures I am so often mistaken for something more than ordinary – not least by American students – that I will use my home page to emphasize that there is a quite boring and simple man behind Mr. American Pictures. That I am so often seen in America as someone who has accomplished the impossible may actually say more about the feelings of powerlessness in American youth today than about me.
