“It is no meaning to create art work by one’s own aesthetic and concepts. However, when people take photos, one’s aesthetic and memory are always included. This is a kind of everlasting contradiction.” Daido Moriyama

“The photographer had been a slave of the camera for a long time. Good camera, lens, Leica, etc. These were the masters of a photographer. But in a way, Daido Moriyama is a photographer who started to make the camera his own slave.” Nobuyoshi Araki
“Art is, in a way, creating something out of nothing. But photography, in its very essence does not create something from nothing, but it is a device to copy existing images. Then why not start from this assumption of copying, so we can get closer to the essence of the photograph.” Daido Moriyama
