Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
“A beautiful woman, no matter how lovely her skin, would be considered indecent were she to show her bare buttocks or feet in the presence of others; and how very crude and tasteless to expose the toilet to such excessive illumination. The cleanliness of what can be seen only calls up the more clearly thoughts of what cannot be seen. In such places the distinction between the clean and the unclean is best left obscure, shrouded in a dusky haze.”
― tanizaki junichiro, 阴翳礼赞

“You take one, then one more, then one more, and so on. The more you take, the more you want to take. It's like you're continually stimulating yourself, increasing your desire, just by looking at that little screen. You want to try it this way and then that.”
― Takeshi Nakamoto, Daido Moriyama: How I Take Photographs

“For me, the ultimate aim is always to get my work on print. To get my photos into a photo book, or a collection - to be able to look at it once it's completed, and feel satisfied I've done a good job. Getting a good book out, it's worth going through a bit of hassle or criticism, isn't it, for that? You can't care too much about what other people say. You've got to have guts.”
― Takeshi Nakamoto, Daido Moriyama: How I Take Photographs

“If a camera is small, light, and takes good shots, well, what more can you ask for? And a digital camera is all of those things.”
― Takeshi Nakamoto, Daido Moriyama: How I Take Photographs

Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
“I wonder if my readers know the colour of that "darkness seen by candlelight." It was different in quality from darkness on the road at night. It was a repletion, a pregnancy of tiny particles like fine ashes, each particle luminous as a rainbow.”
― tanizaki junichiro, 阴翳礼赞
