invited guest: Gerry Johansson
Once again I am proud to present some of Gerry Johansson’s photographs on The F Blog. Below is four pictures from his book Sverige (Sweden, published 2005). Sverige is collection of photographs of Swedish cities and according to me a very fascinating photobook.
Please also look at Gerry Johansson’s other pictures on The F blog here and here and also at his own homepage. From April 21 to Juni 3 Gerry also have a large exhibition at Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg. Later on you can read more about that exhibition on the F blog.
Invited Guest: Robert Popela
I'm so pleased to be able to present Robert Popela's work here on the F Blog. He comes to us from a country rich with photo history, the Czech Republic, and performs his magic in the old fashioned wet darkroom. Does this make him a traditionalist? Not at all -- in fact whenever I see one of his images, I feel like the past and the future have met, if only briefly, and made their meeting visible to the rest of the world. Sometimes surreal, sometimes quite grounded in reality, there's always a spark of magic in Robert's images. I hope you enjoy them, and will visit his website, dida-futi.com to see more of what he does.

Born 1973, living in Czech Republic. Seriously photographing for one and half year.
Photography ? B&W ? Opened me new space for exploration, gave me new instruments for expression,
became passion, relaxation and adrenaline in one.
