In the act of love, as in photography, there is a form of life and a kind of slow death.
Nobuyoshi ArakiMy photos are my diary. Every photo is no more than the representation of a single day. And each day contains the past and the projection into the future. That's why I feel compelled to indicate the date on every picture I take.
Nobuyoshi ArakiPhotographs are diary entries That's all they can be. Photographs are just documentations of a day's event. At the same time, they drag the past into the present and also continue into the future. A day's occurrence evokes both the past and the future. That's why I want to clearly date my pictures. It's actually frustrating, that's why I now photograph the future
Nobuyoshi ArakiA photographer cannot be inexperienced, or too mature. A photographer ought to be half-ripe.
