Café Lehmitz - Anders Petersen

Descriere Café Lehmitz - Anders Petersen

\nThis classic work of analog photojournalism--focusing on the idiosyncratic denizens of an iconic bar in the red-light district of Hamburg, Germany--is now available in a gorgeous new edition that features a tribute by musician and actor Tom Waits. \nPhotographer Anders Petersen was hanging out at a dive bar on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg in 1968 when someone grabbed his camera from the table where he was sitting and started taking pictures. Petersen used the opportunity to photograph the culprit--and the rest of the bar's motley crew of patrons. \n \nThe resulting project is one of the most revered photobooks of all time, a celebration of a gritty city at the tail end of the sixties, and the cornerstone of Petersen's storied career. The images have become classics of their genre; Tom Waits used one for the cover of his legendary album Rain Dogs. Their candidness and authenticity remain as eloquent today as when they were first published in 1978. \n \nThis sumptuously produced reissue features a new foreword by Waits, and is certain to find a new audience, who will appreciate the stunning analog photography and its elegiac collective portrait of the fringes of society.\n
