記録17‪号‬

「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」(著者コメントより)。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。束の間の夏を享受する、見知らぬ街角、見知らぬ人々。
森山大道(もりやま だいどう)/写真家。1938年10月10日、大阪府生まれ。岩宮武二スタジオを経て細江英公の助手となり、1964年より独立。ハイコントラストで粒子の粗い“アレ・ブレ・ボケ”と称される独自のスタイルを確立するなど、既存の写真表現をラディカルに挑発し続け、世界的にも高い評価を得る。「量のない質はない」というポリシーのもと、現在でも膨大な数のストリートスナップを撮り続けている。近年の写真集に『NAGISA』『LABYRINTH』(Akio Nagasawa Publishing)、『カラー』『モノクロ』(月曜社)、『実験室からの眺め』(河出書房新社)など。

Through the optical axis of a lens as transparent as a cat’s eye in the extremely handy camera I’m Carrying, I capture with just the slightest stroke of my fingertip how I call in the world, or the world calls me in, and in this respect, I continue to make my rounds in the maze of city streets and humans. Being a street snap photographer who witnesses scenes, walks and seeks intuitively, also makes me feel a possible connection to the hardboiled novel. That’s because I frequently get lost and all fired up out there in the streets.
"If you want anything, just whistle."-_ Humphrey Bogart
This issue of Record features photographs taken around the middle of July in the streets of Sapporo and Ishikari-Kako.
-DAIDO MORIYAMA

Daidō Moriyama (Moriyama Daidō, born October 10, 1938) is a Japanese photographer noted for his images depicting the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan.
Born in Ikeda, Osaka, Daidō Moriyama studied photography under Takeji Iwamiya before moving to Tokyo in 1961 to work as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe. He produced a collection of photographs, on "Nippon gekijō shashinchō" Though not exclusively, Moriyama predominantly takes high contrast, grainy, black and white photographs within the Shinjuku area of Tokyo, often shot from odd angles. Moriyama's photography has been influenced by Seiryū Inoue, Shōmei Tōmatsu, William Klein, Andy Warhol, Eikoh Hosoe, the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, the dramatist Shūji Terayama, and Jack Kerouac's "On the Road".
