WEBSITE
Simon Hoegsburg is a freelance photographer in Copenhagen. He went to school for photography in London and has a BA. His work is very specific, on his website he has several projects he has completed and features his newest project, "We're All Gonna Die: 100 Meters of Existence." It's actually pretty cool, it's a panoramic he has merged together that is 100 meters long by 78 centimeters wide consisting of 178 candid photographs taken at the same spot at a train station over the course of 20 days.

 
From "The Faces of New York" project, where people were asked
how they feel about their own faces. 
This woman's answer:
 Essentially I would say I have made a drastic change the last three years. Age caught up with me. Good times caught up with me. Wild parties caught up with me. And what I see now is a truly aging woman. I no longer see the spontaneous, witty, charming… I see an elderly woman. And I find that difficult, but in a way very freeing. I don’t have to be the life of the party anymore, and I can talk to charming people like you and not have to feel that I have to flirt with you. I’m much, much freer although considerably sadder getting old.
