As I get older with the camera in my hand, I realize that all the different things that I depict in my photographs are ultimately rooted in my childhood memories, the various things I have seen and experienced in the postwar years of the early 1950s. My memories of wandering from one town to another for a while after the war have piled up at the bottom of my conscious mind, and it appears to me that they are reflected in the myriad images I?ve been capturing as a street snap photographer, responding to my index finger as it releases the shutter. In other words, regardless of whether I was aware of it at the place and time of shooting, it seems that the majority of my photographs represent an instant communion with the here and now that is established through some kind of time tunnel. -Daido Moriyama, afterword - Hand-signed copies available The product will be shipped around Mid-July. About Daido Moriyama Born 1938 in Osaka. After working as an assistant for photographers Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe, he went independent in 1964. He has been publishing his works in photography magazines among others, and received a New Artist Award from the Japan Photo Critics Association for Japan: A Photo Theater in 1967. Between 1968 and ?70 he was involved in the photo fanzine Provoke, and his style of grainy, high-contrast images that came to be referred to as ?are, bure, boke? (grainy, blurry, out-of-focus) made an impact on the realm of photography. Solo shows at New York?s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris solidified Moriyama?s worldwide reputation, and in 2012, he became the first Japanese to be awarded in the category of Lifetime Achievement at the 28th Annual Infinity Awards hosted by the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. The ?William Klein + Daido Moriyama? exhibition together with William Klein at London?s Tate Modern in 2012-13 was a showdown of two immensely popular photographers that took the world by storm.
