For me Micke Berg is a great source of inspiration. I havn’t read all his 20 books but Stockholm blues and Retro are among the most beautiful and fascinating photobooks I have seen. Now I am proud to present Micke Berg and some of his photograph’s. See also Micke Berg’s homepage, his blog and the earlier post about Micke on The F Blog.
All photograph's by Micke Berg. Invited by Fredrik Skott.
Christofer, I agree with what your saying, Fort Europe having a decreasing population with a couple of hundred million people deficit in ten-fifteen years time. But I count on the resilience of mankind somehow, these huge structures don't break down very often - as long as we keep the peace. :)

And if you have a look here, you will find a list of the photographers
who contributed to make this journal a legend.
A free mind at work. That is how I best can describe Tatiana and her work. She was born in Romania and now lives in Toronto, Canada. Ever since I first saw her pictures a couple of years ago it has been a delight to return and see what she is up to. In her own words: "Trying to catch the passing time...always too late... Trying to find myself….always blind…. My photography ...is about hunting phantoms...." See more pictures by Tatiana Bitir here

Many things in the history of photography seem to lead back to the 291 gallery
in New York. I was planning to write something about Edward Steichen who
was Alfred Stieglitz associate and designer of the covers of the legendary
journal "Camera Work".
Then I stumbled upon this man born in Szeged, Hungary.

His name was Nickolas Muray and for those of you who are not familiar with
him I´d like to share my findings. As you probably already have figured out,
I have not graduated from any academy of fine arts or something like that.
I am just a curious private investigator. Anyway Nickolas was a very handsome
man, but also a skilled photographer. Below is a picture of his studio in
New York where he settled down in 1913.

I´m glad that i now can present some works of Olle Norling, who recently showed photos in an exhibition in Uppsala. The prints he has done by him self.
Olle says: "My photography often includes buildings or landscapes. In this work from 1987 I was investigating the commonplace".
I think that Joakim Ahnfelt’s serie Est Deus In Nobis is really fascinanting and is very happy to have the possibility to show it on The F Blog. About the serie Joakim says:
What if.
What if everyday objects suddenly got blessed with divine inspiration? Or
should we say possessed?
What would they do?
Where would they go?
What would whey do once they got there?
Est Deus In Nobis is a series trying to explore an act of defiance against
the laws of nature. The main part of the pictures was created during two
hectic spring months in 2001. Occasionally this project get revisited...
Tech note: No pixels where tweaked, rearranged or harmed in any way. It's
all done the hard way. See more at this adress: "www.flickr.com/photos/52539789@N00/". Invited by Fredrik Skott.
[Joseph Stella and Marcel Duchamp], 1920 / Man Ray, photographer.
1 photographic print : b&w ; 26 x 21 cm. Rudi Blesh papers,
1909-1983. Archives of American Art.
If you read my post about "Francis Picabia and 391" you probably
also saw the name Marcel Duchamp on the cover of an issue of
that periodical. Here he is with painter Joseph Stella. Both men
are worth a special chapter, but for now I will just make a remark
about the photographer with birthname Emmanuel Radnitzky, but
known to the world as Man Ray.
"In New York, Ray met and worked with the French artist
Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia from Spain, forming the
core of the New York Dada movement whose centre was
Alfred Stieglitz's gallery '291'." read full article at
about: photography.com
Well, it seems like we are getting somewhere? Or what do
you think? I will definitely come back to Man Ray later on.
Among others.
