“Lasting Evidence”: featured in Professional Photographer magazine

I was featured this month in an article by Amanda Arnold about my 6 Feet Apart series in Professional Photographer magazine (May 2025 issue).

 “My focus was on capturing the commonalities of the marks while also highlighting the creativity and individuality in their designs,”

 

“To reflect the once-in-a-lifetime, enormous magnitude of the pandemic, he knew he needed to photograph as many markers as possible.”

Takashi Hokoi
Reading the Wind - Iceland
In 2025, Hokoi Takashi captured the wind on film in Iceland.
This isolated island in the North Atlantic is a harsh living environment where the weather changes rapidly and strong winds blow throughout the year. At the same time, its people benefit from nature’s abundance, harnessing natural energy for electricity and using geothermal heat for everyday life. Through the winds of Iceland—one of the places where humans must directly confront nature—Hokoi reflects on the relationship between humanity and nature, and imagines its future.
Windgraph is a device designed to record the direction of the wind.

I have been meditating in the gallery many mornings which has been a great way to connect with the space. I will be leaving on Tuesday so I’m trying to save her these last days of the exhibit.

Today (Friday May 1) from 3 to 5 I will be in the gallery for my “meet the artist” informal event so come on by.

MORIYAMA @daidomoriyamaphotofoundation An epic exh MORIYAMA @daidomoriyamaphotofoundation
An epic exhibition spanning seven rooms, featuring more images than you can shake an old rangy dog at. This retrospective is a monument to a 50-year career defined by relentless experimentation and distinct creative phases.
The installation is wild, combining:
 * **Mural-sized reproductions** that dominate the space.
 * **Classic framed prints** 
 * **Small-scale sticker prints** and detailed display cases.
 * **A massive slideshow** 
It’s a powerful testament to a photographer who has never been afraid to evolve.
19 Victoire Thierrée “Okinawa” (discovery award wi 19 Victoire Thierrée “Okinawa” (discovery award winner) 👍🏽 fascinating project, exploring the history of foreigners in Okinawa. There is so much more to say about this show 👍🏽Victoire Thierrée discovered the island of Okinawa through the work of photographer Shōmei Tōmatsu (1930-2012) during her first visit to Japan in 2012. Tōmatsu was the first to document the American military presence on Okinawa, leading in 1969 to the publication, Okinawa, Okinawa, Okinawa, a title to which the series of photographs and the exhibition refer directly — like a cry.
In 2019, she explores this territory where thirty-two American military bases remain and 10,000 GIs are still present on the island. She produced a series of black and white photographs with a medium-format 6 x 9 (vertical) camera, focusing on the outskirts of the bases, where majestic nature seems to offer a form of resistance to this occupation.
