Photographer is a collection of works by Ed Ruscha, one of the leading contemporary artists of the 20th century. "I'm not Really a Photographer." These are Ed Ruscha's own words, and are also the title of a text he wrote himself in the magazine Times in 1972. He mainly created works such as graphics, pop art, prints, and drawings, and while he declared that "photography was just a hobby," it is true that it was an important medium for him, and his self-published small book series produced in the 1960s and 1970s influenced many artists later. In Japan, Takashi Homma and others have published a series of works inspired by Ruscha's works, and even a collection of works introducing many of the books influenced by the Ruscha series has been published. Based on the perspective of the "photographer" of such a multi-artist Ruscha, this book attempts to explore how those works relate to a series of paintings, prints, and other art works, and what kind of vision he is guided by. The first edition was published in 2006, and this edition was published in 2013.
