invited guest: Anders Petersen
In the early 1990's I discovered Anders Petersen's photo book titled Café Lehmitz (first printed in 1978), a documentary of the "regulars" in a bar near the Reeperbahn, Hamburg, Germany. The intimate black and white photographs in the book couldn't leave my mind. It is still one of those books that I can look at for hours. And I am not alone. Without a doubt Café Lehmitz is an important part of the history of photography (look here for some pictures from the book).
Since the 1970's Petersen has published several fascinating photobooks. Besides Café Lehmitz, I can strongly recommend, Anders Petersen – Photographs 1966–1996 and Du mich auch.
It is a real pleasure to present Anders Petersen as an invited guest to the F blog. The pictures below are from his upcoming photo book, Frenchkiss. Stay tuned to the F blog for more information about the book! According to me, this is photography at its best.

How to not treat your negatives
After touching them all over with your greasy fingers and manhandling them while trying to fit them into the scanner - make sure to put them dangerously close to your coffee to get those nice blue streaks across the picture.

It is a pleasure to invite Fredrik Ödman, an interesting Swedish photographer, to the F blog. His dark, suggestive and sometimes fatasy-themed pictures are amazing. Please check out his homepage. An interview with Fredrik Ödman you can find here.

Family Album
This is a picture of my grandparents and my uncle Geppina walking by the streets of Salerno. Although I like this very much because it's one of the very few pictures of my grandparents being relatively young, what brings me back to this image is the unknown person behind them. She's probably accidentally got into the picture but I get the feeling that she's stalking them or just doing something weird. Which makes me wonder about how a simple "error" in a family portrait can become an opportunity for my imagination and how a picture "talks" in many ways we wouldn't expect to. -Mirko Caserta
