The Restaurant Owner

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

Down in the harbour area in Oslo there is a little restaurant called Fenaknoken  that specialises in cured meat and smoked fish etc. Their smoked salmon is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The restaurant itself is a place where you write your name on the tables just to let others know you’ve been there. The father sold the restaurant to his son (Pictured here) but still works for his son serving and greeting customers.

After a ten month absence from Lake Superior, we are finally back by her shore. I’m looking forward to spending a few weeks revisiting all my favorite photo spots this summer.

There is something fitting about encountering this face through two layers of separation – the veil the sculptor carved, and the museum case that now holds her. This is Fantasy Bust of a Veiled Woman (c.1865–1870), a glazed terracotta by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, believed by some to be a portrait of Marguerite Bellanger – actress, courtesan, and one of the most talked-about women in Second Empire Paris. She looks downward, away from us, as if the gaze of the viewer is precisely what she is not interested in returning.
