Detail,Nakayama Horse race track, Chibe, Japan, 2005
Skyline Books is going out of business. I passed by the store last weekend en route to Adorama and saw the sign outside the door. They've always had a good selection of photography books and I paused to take a look. The shelves had already been picked over, but I picked up Naoki Honjo's Small Planet at a discount.
For a while, the internets seemed over-saturated with tilt-shift photography (on the photoblogging front, it seemed to be the new cross-processing), but I liked the color and composition of Honjo's prints. He has a great eye for isolating the details that the technique brings out and shooting accordingly. The book is published by Little More, a Japanese publisher of mainly art books.
Thanks for being a great Adorama Camera customer; please don't hesitate to email me directly if you ever need after-sales support or advice.
