"These photos were taken from what I'd ratherdescribe as "a promenader's view". "Daido Moriyama(Experts from the original text of Record No.27)

That's because it surely is easy to release the shutter button and takepictures, but that consious sense of distance that hovers in the space
between the photographer and the photographed always contains somesevere and delicate issues beyond imagination. -DAIDO MORIYAMA(Experts from the original text of Record No.27) The photos included in
RECORD : No.27"are all taken in Hong Kong in March 2014.

monochromatic vision and the worldly visions in color. And then the TV

What is DAIDO MORIYAMA's "RECORD"?
It was 34 years ago, back in 1972, that I came out with the self-published photo journal 'Kiroku.' At thetime, I was busy with all sorts of work for magazines. Partly because of a daily feeling inside that I
shouldn't let myself get carried away by it all, I came up with the idea of a small, self-published personal
photo journal. Without any ties to work or any ﬁxed topic, I just wanted to continue publishing a 16-pagebooklet with an arbitrary selection of favorite photos among the pictures I snapped from day to day. Bynature, it was directed ﬁrst and foremost to myself rather than other people. I wanted a simple, basic title,
so I called it 'Kiroku' (record).
Who is DAIDO MORIYAMA?
DAIDO MORIYAMA/Born 1938 in Osaka. After working as an assistant for photographers Takeji Iwamiya
and Eikoh Hosoe, he went independent in 1964. He has been publishing his works in photography
magazines among others, and received a New Artist Award from the Japan Photo Critics Association forJapan: A Photo Theater in 1967. Between 1968 and 70 he was involved in the photo fanzine Provoke,and his style of grainy, high-contrast images that came to be referred to as are, bure, boke (grainy,blurry, out-of-focus) made an impact on the realm of photography. Solo shows at New York' sMetropolitan Museum of Art and the Fondation Cartier pour l Art Contemporain in Paris solidiﬁed
Moriyama s worldwide reputation, and in 2012, he became the ﬁrst Japanese to be awarded in thecategory of Lifetime Achievement at the 28th Annual Inﬁnity Awards hosted by the International Center ofPhotography (ICP) in New York. The William Klein + Daido Moriyama exhibition together with WilliamKlein at London s Tate Modern in 2012-13 was a showdown of two immensely popular photographersthat took the world by storm. Daido keeps going on enourmous amount of Street Snap under the motto….
