Children ask adults questions. And sometimes adults ask children questions.
Japanese photographer Kozo Miyoshi continues his journey to this day, carrying a 16x20-inch super-large format camera.
Ever since childhood, his sight has been filled with curiosity, and through his unwavering eye, we might see the world as a place of discovery, as a desk, and sometimes as a cradle that heals heartache. His photographs possess small touches of humour, consciously drawn from the equal relationship between photographer and subject, through which drifts the ephemeral, momentary joys of life. This humour — like the honest expression of a child, unclouded by complicated explanation — resonates throughout the book.
A Long Interview with Kozo Miyoshi shares the consistent thread of pure curiosity throughout Miyoshi's 60-year-plus career — this is his long journey, his long interview.
