On Photo exhibitions and galleries in Tokyo
Dan Abbe wrote an informative article on why Tokyo is an exceptional city of photography. His thoughts on the sense of artistic freedom that the nature of the non-commercial and independent photo gallery scene here provides are quite insightful.
Disclosure: Dan and I are pals and in the piece he gives me a little shout-out although in even further disclosure I know even if I wasn’t involved with Totem Pole he would have thankfully written the article as well anyway. It needed to be written! And there is still more to say.
I do make it a point to see as many photo shows as possible and sometimes I blog about them. Recently I caught two great street shows in Shinjuku and a few days later, an interesting Nobuyoshi Araki show in Jiyugaoka.
You can see some archived posts on Tokyo exhibitions (of mine and those of others) on my other blog here.
Tokyo is a great city for photography. Hopefully what you find in the links above will provide inspiration for you to get photographically involved in your city as well.
