With Japanese photography, I have had to change how I look at it from the surface level toward something much more intricate in my understanding of how Japanese artists approach the camera. When I first started looking into the national camera of Japan, the obvious references were already a known quantity to me. Classic […]
I am relatively new to Jochen Lempert’s work, or at least his books. I was aware of his book Phenomena from 2013, which seems a favorite among his fans and commands a decent price at auction. I tend to note these things to argue with or argue against about a book’s “weight” amongst the bevy […]
