Stray Dog, Daido Moriyama
|
Daido's most famous photograph is of an almost rabid dog. As twinned outcasts, this dog has become the alter ego of Daido himself. He explains in his memoirs that "I had taken a photograph of a stray dog, showing the whites of its eyes and snarling, on the streets outside a US air base in the town of Misawa in Aomori Prefecture in northeast Japan … Thereafter that dog and I came to be seen and talked about as if somehow superimposed on each other. Also, the figure I cast during that time, roaming around town and on the backstreets, carrying my camera, appeared in others' eyes very much like a stray dog." The photograph appears in most of Daido's publications, often in mirror image or cropped differently. This signed and numbered photograph is sold with its frame. |
