RECORD NO.38

「ぼくが撮る写真の大多数には、そのとき写す現場で意識するしないにかかわらず、一瞬タイムトンネルを通してたった現在(いま)と交感し合っていると思えるのだ。」(「記録 第38号」より 著者コメント)
過去と未来の接点、つながりである今日”現在”(いま)。写すとは、そのタイムトンネルの1点を、偶然を、ひたすら記憶する作業でもある。2018年7月に発行された私家版写真集「記録」38号を電子化。

“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.” (Experts from the original text of Record No.38)

The "present" (now) is the point of contact and connection between the past and the future.Photographing is also the process of memorizing a point in the time tunnel, a coincidence. This is an e-Book version of the private photo book "Record" No.38, published in July 2018.

Daidō Moriyama (Moriyama Daidō, born October 10, 1938) is a Japanese photographer noted for his images depicting the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan.
Born in Ikeda, Osaka, Daidō Moriyama studied photography under Takeji Iwamiya before moving to Tokyo in 1961 to work as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe. He produced a collection of photographs, on "Nippon gekijō shashinchō" Though not exclusively, Moriyama predominantly takes high contrast, grainy, black and white photographs within the Shinjuku area of Tokyo, often shot from odd angles. Moriyama's photography has been influenced by Seiryū Inoue, Shōmei Tōmatsu, William Klein, Andy Warhol, Eikoh Hosoe, the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, the dramatist Shūji Terayama, and Jack Kerouac's "On the Road".
