explore the f blog
Have you tried the option "Search blog" up left? It´s an interesting way to find stuff in this big picture called the F blog. Try for example "peace", "love", "understanding" or "Africa", "tango"...well you get the idea.
There is a (perhaps even better) way of searching the archives. Try out "Search the F Blog", that you will find in the sidebar. It is a mini-Google searching only the F Blog.
Want to see a list of our many invited photographers? Check out the label all invited guests. We are also meeting photographers in real life
Browse articles about photography or history of photography. Find out more about Gruppo F exhibitions.
Under label announcements you will mostly find information about exhibitions of photography around the world. But also information about what is happening at The F Blog etc.
Gruppo F inbox is the place to find pictures that our readers have sent to us.
Don´t forget to have a look at the sidebar, with headers like "postcards" and "F Blog Projects 08". And while you are there, check out the F links!

invited guest: Håkan Strand





These five images are from a project called Waterfronts, taken along the shorelines of the Baltic Sea and northern France. Most of my work in Waterfronts was done in low light situations where there was an interaction between light and darkness, such as at dusk and dawn. I often use long exposure times in order to reduce the landscape into elemental, graphic shapes.
Invited by Tom Holmlund

invited guest: Mattia Marchi

I like the pictures of Mattia Marchi. These Holga shots are quite different from
the "mainstream" Holga pictures in my opinion. Sometimes brutal, realistic but
still beautiful.The two first pictures and the last one were part of
Liljevalchs Spring Salon.

invited guest: Arkadiusz Gola - Men of Coal
Arkadiusz Gola was born and grew up in very heart of industrial Upper Silesia. Since his early years he was surrounded by specific atmosphere of this land where almost everybody worked for coal mine, cityscapes where formed by coal mine shafts, air crossed by conveyor bridges. He started his photographic life in coal mine Nowy Wirek in Ruda Śląska – when as 12 yo boy went to Photo Club – the mines where not just giving the work for people – mines were giving almost everything to people working there and their families. For generations miners and mines built fascinating world basing on simple values as honor, truth, bravery and respect to others. This is natural that he, as adult photographer wants to talk about this land and its people, especially that this world is passing away day by day. Mines stopped to be “salt of this land”, new economy orders to shut them down and former miners are loosing not just jobs but all of this what for hundreds years was built here by their grandfathers…
Arkadiusz Gola tries to witness and document disappearing world and he makes it following the rules of miners – truth, honor and respect are most important in his documents, I am honored to present piece of his work on F blog.
Arkadiusz Gola (1972). Journalist of “Dziennik Zachodni” (major daily newspaper in Upper Silesia). Studying photography in ITF /Instytut Tvurci Fotografie/ - Opava, Czech Republic. Awarded by many photographic proces, winner of Polish Press Photo 1998 and 2003, journalist of the year 2003.
