As a photographer, I’m proud to say that I had the honour of photographing a legend. Jørgen? He cheated death. Many times. But he didn’t do it alone. Doctors, nurses and guardians were a great help through the years. They saved him – again and again. Jørgen Pedersen should have been dead long ago – considering his age, countless diseases, and 40 years of drug abuse. I loved photographing him from our first meeting to the last. He was a scientist of drugs. A Freud of the drug environment. Satan’s favourite. A sophisticated mindset and an extroverted being. A holy man. A rich character.
