one of latest post on ASX was a brief and enjoyable read, of course its easy to write on most every post. The post brings up and interesting concept involving Katsumi Watanabe. Watanabe is quoted "I decided to devoted my life to being "the drifting photographer of Shinjuku."" The idea presented here: devoting your photographic life to a specific area, being its record keeper, its voluntary documentarian, being a "drifting," undetected presence in a place in time. And perhaps its is only 30, 50, 100 years later that your work is significant. Devoting your life to being a photographic time capsule.
