フォトコンテスト Photo Contest Monthly (10/o6)
The Difference Between
The October 2006 issue of Japan Photo Contest Monthly features 6 photos from the portfolio “The Difference Between”. On sale September 20th. The text is as follows:
I photograph to try to understand how reality is transformed through photography.
This is an investigation concerning what is around me, and how that documentation of Japan in turn affects my conception of this country.
I often wonder, what is it that is between myself and this country, besides my camera?
Rather than answers I am interested in the questions that these photographs ask.
The profile shot was done at the request of the editor who worked with me, and I find enjoyment in trying to look serious (enough) with a bath towel hung up over the bathroom door to separate the brown of the door from the brown of my hair in a 1 inch tall black and white picture. It honestly took several tries to get the shape of my head boxed in by the door just right. The fusebox for my apartment adds to the reality and mystery.
お目出度うございます。Are you always this meticulous about recording aperture and shutter speed?

Only when a magazine asks me for those numbers. I guessed on all of them, but they are probably correct within a stop or two.
