RECORD No.17
手中の、きわめてハンディなカメラに装着された、まるで猫の目ほどの透明なレンズ一個の光軸に拠って、ほんのささやかな指先のストロークに過ぎないにせよ、ぼくは世界を呼び込み、あるいは世界に呼び込まれ、写すという一点で、都市と人間の迷路を回遊しつづける。そして、巷間を目撃し、直感し、歩き捜し求めるという街頭スナップカメラマンの有り様は、ハード・ボイルド小説とつながる感じもある。路上で、しばしば意気ごんだり途方に暮れていたりするからだ。（「記録 第17号」より 著者コメント）
2010年9月に刊行された森山大道の私家版写真誌｢記録 第17号｣を電子書籍化。同年7月半ばに札幌市街と石狩河口の町で撮影されたデジタル＆カラースナップ集。北国にやって来た束の間の夏を享受する、見知らぬ街角、見知らぬ人々。大道が目撃した色イロ。

About the author
Daidō Moriyama
293 books57 followersDaidō Moriyama (Japanese: 森山 大道, Hepburn: Moriyama Daidō, born October 10, 1938) is a Japanese photographer best known for his black-and-white street photography and association with the avant-garde photography magazine Provoke.
Moriyama began his career as an assistant to photographer Eikoh Hosoe, a co-founder of the avant-garde photo cooperative Vivo, and made his mark with his first photobook Japan: A Photo Theater, published in 1968. His formative work in the 1960s boldly captured the darker qualities of urban life in postwar Japan in rough, unfettered fashion, filtering the rawness of human experience through sharply tilted angles, grained textures, harsh contrast, and blurred movements through the photographer's wandering gaze. Many of his well-known works from the 1960s and 1970s are read through the lenses of post-war reconstruction and post-Occupation cultural upheaval.
Moriyama continued to experiment with the representative possibilities offered by the camera in his 1969 Accident series, which was serialized over one year in the photo magazine Asahi Camera, in which he deployed his camera as a copying machine to reproduce existing media images. His 1972 photobook Farewell Photography, which was accompanied by an interview with his fellow Provoke photographer Takuma Nakahira, presents his radical effort to dismantle the medium.
Although the photobook is a favored format of presentation among Japanese photographers, Moriyama was particularly prolific: he has produced more than 150 photobooks since 1968.
