I had gotten that far in my writing when Richard Avedon’s photo collection “nothing personal”, which I had previously asked a friend to procure, was delivered to my door. I immediately opened it and as I flipped through the pages, I felt as if the faraway sea breeze of the lzu coast was blowing in my face. Yes, for Takuma Nakahira and I (an amateur photographer at the time), this photo collection was a book from our youth. We carried the huge volume to the seashore, and while slowly turning its pages under the brilliant sun, shared countless feelings and talked tirelessly about photography. A pleasant sea breeze in our faces, we talked forever about our photography dreams.
Now that this photo collection has crossed several decades and returned to me at last, my mood has become a bit brighter. With this, I think I’ll be dreaming about photography for a while now.
