RECORD NO.11

2009年1月に刊行された森山大道の私家版写真誌「記録 第11号」を電子書籍化。森山大道が写真とめぐり合った街、大阪を写した作品集。記憶と現在が交錯する、どぎつくて色っぽい夏の日の記録。
森山大道(もりやま だいどう)/写真家。1938年10月10日、大阪府生まれ。岩宮武二スタジオを経て細江英公の助手となり、1964年より独立。ハイコントラストで粒子の粗い“アレ・ブレ・ボケ”と称される独自のスタイルを確立するなど、既存の写真表現をラディカルに挑発し続け、世界的にも高い評価を得る。「量のない質はない」というポリシーのもと、現在でも膨大な数のストリートスナップを撮り続けている。近年の写真集に『NAGISA』『LABYRINTH』(Akio Nagasawa Publishing)、『カラー』『モノクロ』(月曜社)、『実験室からの眺め』(河出書房新社)など。

When I look back on the nearly 50 years I've been working as a photographer, the long path behind me seems like a long roll of film. It was a path of steep ups and downs, winding and sometimes twisted, but never really smooth. At its very end in the distant past I can see the pulsating cityscape of Osaka, the place where I encountered the love of my life: photography. When l think about it now, it was a tender but rather difficult kind of love.
"Kiroku" Vol. 11 is dedicated to a series of photographs taken in Osaka last summer, while walking around the city with a slight sense of nostalgia.
-DAIDO MORIYAMA

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".
