I like Daido Moriyama a lot. I find him to be a great inspiration mostly in his shooting philosophy. The way he wanders like a stray dog. very focused on creating books. not worrying too much about having a technically perfect image. his idea of the fleeting moment.
A good example of this is pic related. the way it evokes in me the feeling of a distant memory, a mundane moment in time, yet, somehow there is this subtle beauty emerging from it. conjuring in me this nostalgic feeling for a moment that I have never experienced myself.
This documentary on him is well worth the watching.
