A journey with Bengt
About a week ago you met photographer Bengt Björkbom and his pictures. Well, he also shared some of his thoughts about straight photography, or whatever you may call it. I think he´s got something important to tell us from his long experience as a photographer, always carrying his M Leica and a 35mm (or 16 mm lens attached). And this is the point were I manage to come up with something negative to say about this nice gentleman;...he collects cameras as well. Bengt has been generous enough to send me many pictures from his archive - I want more! The pictures that we will publish here are from 45 years of photographing 1962-2007. So please enjoy. This is the first chapter of many more to come./ulf

Encouraged by the response to the F subject "street corners" we have set up another project starting today. It´s called Café - well do we have to go into explanations? So, dear reader of The F Blog, if you are out of street corners, why not post your best shots from cafes - interiors, exteriors or whatever. If you remember the name of the café and the city, please include that information. If you don´t - don´t worry. Stay tuned to F.

Kai Godehusen: After several years of shooting with digital cameras only, I picked up a cheap Holga camera six month ago. After only a few rolls of film, I fell in love with the imperfections of this plastic toy and its cheesy build-in flash.The four diptychs "Ghost in the shell" are combinations of photographs I took at the museum of natural history and during my everyday-life as a physicist. I'm interested in the tension that is created between these two completely different subjects: old stuffed animals and shiny science apparatuses. For me it is hard to judge which one is more "alive"...
