About this website

I take photos because I like it, and at a certain stage, several people has said nice things about my pictures and suggested that I should present them for a wider audience. So far this has resulted in a number of exhibitions and this website. I have no professional background in photography (and no ambitions of going in that direction!).
See also a personal statement on my artistic approach (in Danish) for at an exhibition at Roskilde Kunstforening, 2023:  Link.

I spend my working life as a university professor of computer science at Roskilde University; take a look http://ruc.dk/~henning.

This site opened June 2017.

No, I am not ...

I have nothing to do with the famous Fluxus artist Henning Christiansen (1932-2008). In fact, we are tons of people sharing that name, especially in Denmark, Norway and Northern Germany.

Why this name for a website, La crêpe galante?

Why not? La crêpe galante sounds nice – and all short URLs and variations of my name are anyhow taken.
