invited guest: Alberto Monteiro - projecto lagarto
“Lagartos” is the portuguese word for “Lizards”
“Sardão”, is a kind of lizard
“Sardoal”, is the place where the “Sardão” (lizard) lives
The ancient town of Sardoal, in Portugal, 150 kilometres northeast of Lisbon, is a place trying to keep its traditions alive by promoting them in the main cultural cities of Portugal. Its inhabitants are proud of their rich history and traditions and keep their way of life somewhere between “modernity”
and “ancient” rituals and traditions.
Throughout one year of photographic work, I visited Sardoal to capture its people and their traditions. As Sardoal is devotedly Catholic, most of the festivals there are religious but, I also captured some other important local activities that people relate to.
you may find more works (also more works from this series) of Alberto at his site. I belive we show not the last time his works at the F blog.
Alberto always appeared to me as photographer with the philosophy of photographing most suiting to mine, perhaps this is why (and of course - because he shows Portugal) his works are appeal to me strongly.
Alberto is very active photographer but also animator of photo-life in the net and in real life.
He's creator of cult portal fotoalternativa.net

Ingmar Bergman has passed away
Ingmar Bergman, one of the greatest film directors ever has passed away today. The films he made, many of them together with the photographer Sven Nykvist, have had a very deep impact and influence on me. Just to mention a few masterpieces: "The Seventh Seal", "Wild Strawberries", "Autumn Sonata" and "Fanny & Alexander".
More information can be found at the site http://www.ingmarbergman.com/ and http://www.ingmarbergman.se/. To see the master at work have a look at Beata Bergströms pictures.
- A sad day indeed.

invited guest: Alfredo Muñoz de Oliveira
For a certain time I had an impression, that contemporary Portuguese photographers are doing everything to take the odium and stylistic of Lisbon Story out. Looking at portuguese photography I've seen mainly creative or poetic works, looked as nobody is really interested in documenting how is the Portugal today.
But, that was just on the surface, what I found looking deeper was much reliefing - there are documentalists in Portugal, and I will try to show their works to you.
The presentation starts with chosen works of Alfredo Muñoz de Oliveira.
To photograph the world around me, stories of the day by day or just only places that wakes me up emotions and sensibilities as a reflection of myself and where I build my everyday selfportrait. Maybe one day I will be a photographer... Born in 1959, designer as a profession, I had my first contact with photography through my father, amateur photographer, that gave me a Nikon F and one Exakta behond his studio equipment. During my life, photography always walked side by side having as first references the portuguese photographers Alexandre Delgado O'Neill, Paulo Nozolino and Gerard Castello Lopes. It was after I saw an exhibit of Sebastião Salgado in NYC that my passion for photography comes back with another strength. It is essencially in the documentary photography that I like to be involved, telling stories of ordinary and forgotten people.

Conversation
more from my day in Stockholm with Ulf & Tom -- looking down from the front of the palace at Djurgarten, this woman was cleaning the leaves from the pool, talking the whole time. It was hard to say if she was talking to the statue, was just nuts, or maybe she had some kind of telephone clamped to her ear that we could not see.
