Rice Harvester, Rikuchu Kanzaki, Japan, 1990

The New 100 Prints Project by Brooks Jensen New image added on 14 Jan 2009 For a quick view via RSS, here are the essentials, but the project is best seen at the website. Sometimes as photographers, we inject our artistic presence into the composition, perhaps heavy-handedly, but with certainty. Other times — and this is one of those — we just get out of the way and let the subject tell its own story. This is an image from a joint folio project I'm working on with my friend and fellow photographer David Grant Best. We traveled three weeks together in 1990 in northern Japan which resulted in a handmade artist's book we called Tangerine Gifts. We are reissuing this as a folio with new images later this month. This will be one of the images.Audio Commentary Rice Harvester, Rikuchu Kanzaki, Japan, 1990
