いつも世界は遠く、 From the Hip

写真は、ある日の、ある時、ある場所で、ある人を記録する。

数年後、もしくは数十年後に、写真は撮られた時をそのまま克明に見る人に伝えてくれる。何気ない何の企てもない写真ほど、その有り様を生々しく、時を経ても鮮明に伝えてくれる。

どうしてなのだろう。たぶん写真本来の能力は、もともと全方位に開かれているのだと思う。

しかし、それを使う人、撮る人の考え方や目的や意図の力が強く働けば働くほど、その能力は限られた方向にしか開かれないのだと思う。

だから僕は、写真の前でもっともっと自由で野放図に、己の眼を開いて世界を受け入れていければと願っている。

(写真集より抜粋)

 

 

A photograph records a certain person on a certain day, at a certain time, in a certain place.

A few years later, or a few decades, it faithfully conveys to the viewer the moment in which it was taken, exactly as it was. The more casual, the more unplanned the photo, the more vividly it shows the situation at that moment, raw and unvarnished, even with the passing of time.

Why is this? To my mind, photographs have an innate capacity to be open in all directions.

But the more dominant the thought processes of the person using a photograph, or the person who took it, or the power of their purpose or intention, the more likely that capacity will only unfurl in a limited direction.

So when looking at a photo, I try to truly open my eyes and take in the world in a fashion more free, and unfettered.
