I'm going to scan a bunch of polaroids. Hey, why is the hiromix one the only one where you have an explanation in Japanese?

Also, I think I know what Juergen Teller means. That book of his has had quite a strong pull on me for a while now- It is so beautifully economical how he resolves what is in front of him and his relation to that place/object/person with his camera.

It is interesting looking at her early work and seeing how it has influenced so many young photographers in Japan today. Did you catch her cameo in Lost in Translation? Sophia Coppola makes a small cameo in Girls Blue too. Mark- Sorry I did not reply to your email about the show sooner. It is wild how huge everyone's pupils are in the photographs. I hope you bought a copy of the book as well, because the end interview/essay is too good to miss, and the final little black and white photograph on the last page is one of the greatest ends to an art photo book that a photographer/photography person could ever ask for. Thank you Mr. Papageorge.

Good stuff. The Eggleston book is the one for the exhibition I saw at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh. Good stuff.
