Photographer 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. The 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. This
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.
