214 days into my year long making of a daily still life. I have been meaning to explore Daido Miriam's work for some time so when I received these two books recently I eagerly delved into them. After reading them both I come away feeling rather disappointed or perhaps I just don't understand the images, this is especially so for the larger book which is billed as a retrospective of Moriyama's life's work. Moriyama is a challenging photographer who produces challenging and somewhat disturbing photographs.
@randystreat They are and I guess it is a matter of personal preference whether or not you find them attractive or not. For me knowing his approach to photography is governed by his firmly held belief that street photography should be a franetic, almost continuous scatter-gun shooting as you rush up and down a street; an approach I profoundly disagree with.
