Luminance of Streets (Signed), a photo book of Japanese photographer Hoshi Gento. Long before he got a camera, he was a lover of wandering around the city at night since he was a boy. He writes in the afterword that while living side by side with "loneliness," the nighttime air sparked his own delusions, desires, and curiosity. After 20 years old, he left Yokohama where he was born and grew up, and went to work in a rural area at night. At one point, he had a good job and had a gorgeous life, but his business was closed with his debts remaining. In the midst of such a turbulent life, he began to work on photography in earnest after his mid-20s, studied at the Institute of Contemporary Photography, and has worked as a freelance since 2000. And this book is a virgin work released in 2007. A book composed of street photos depicting the “night town” of Shinjuku and Kabukicho, Yokohama and Kamagasaki. Rather than a sniper's gaze like Daido Moriyama's snaps or Seiji Kurata's eyes, it's because of his likeness that the loneliness and sense of solidarity that he shared can be described beautifully, and human patterns invisible One book that is fascinated with illustrations full of "love" as if you picked up your heart.
