4 - i went to IMS and studied Moriyama`s work

march 2023

it was through the course of 3/4 wednesdays after class that i got in touch with Daido Moriyamas work, and most importantly, his thoughts about photography. They werent many. Moriyama-san didnt and still to this day doesnt like writing about his process, or discussing photography and its meaning. Still, i got hold of some pretty good interviews, and articles analysing his work through the years.
the book im reading in the photo is called Japanese Photobooks of the 60s and 70s, by Ryuichi Kaneko and Ivan Vartanian.
