Issue 57 of Daido Moriyama's own ongoing journal.

“A picture is something that fragmentarily reflects the sensibility and sensitivity of its maker in the very moment he or she releases the shutter, and the things in it instantly become his own. But once it is reproduced and printed or exhibited, it disperses into the multifariously shaded folds of the audience's gaze, where it establishes itself as a unique and hard new reality, and as a manifestation of some kind of memory, which again works as a mighty, enigmatic tool that connects past, present and future. It is nothing more and nothing less than a camera, and we can only take our hats off to Monsieur Nicéphore Niépce and thank him for inventing it.” — from the afterword
