"What makes a truly good photograph?" I came across this question while reading a transcript of a conversation in an old literary magazine from about seventy years ago—a question posed by the photographer Ken Domon to the great Japanese author Eiji Yoshikawa. After thinking for a moment, Yoshikawa said, "I’m not a photographer, so I can’t give a formal definition, but I suppose it comes down to this: when I look at a photograph and am moved by the essence of the work—how many pieces of writing can I create from it?" It was a page from an old magazine I read when I was in high school. And yet, now that I find myself creating works in the form of photographic prints, I sometimes find myself lost in thought for a while about the meaning of those words. I wondered just how many sheets of manuscript paper Mr. Yoshikawa would fill with his words after seeing my work.
