Hiroh Kikai

Hiroh Kikai's Asakusa Portraits includes a lot of excellent portrait work and it is definitely the best photo book I have picked up in a while. The work reminds me a lot of Diane Arbus. I can not wait for the exhibition to make its way to California. Here is an interview over at Lens Culture. This is A Man with Four Watches 1987.

Robert Frank at MOCA

I highly recommend the Robert Frank exhibition that is up now at MOCA in L.A. This is a great opportunity to see the complete series of 83 photographs that were apart of his The Americans. Not to be missed.
