Something rotten —

An Englishman in Copenhagen.

That time 11 years ago I took a good picture not knowing that someone was taking a picture of me taking it Jan 29

The full story.

In the past I wrote Diet Coke goes the way of the dodo.

In the future I would write At the risk of sounding like a broken record….

I'm an Englishman living and working in Copenhagen. I moved to the city in January 2006 and started this blog in June the same year. My wife and I raise our two children, I read, make the odd film and train hard. These days, Something rotten is mostly a visual record that I keep out of vanity but occasionally I’ll conjecture on advertising and speculate on digital behaviour. The posts on the right (below on mobile) are a kind of cross-section of my interests and pre-occupations. If you'd like to contact me for any reason, email me at azbateman at gmail dot com
