A photo book "Nothing Special" by Dutch photographer Peter Martens. Born in Rotterdam in 1937, Martens is a photojournalist who was active not only in the Netherlands but also in Europe and the United States. He has been active since the latter half of the 1950s, and was recommended by members of Magnum Photos in the 1970s, and at the same time, he is a talented person who has won the World Photo Press Award. In particular, it can be said that he was a journalist who was relatively focused on outsiders, such as reportage at incident sites reminiscent of Weegee, and fact-finding surveys of incidents that do not become incidents, such as homeless people. This book is a masterpiece of Martens published in 1981. People around the world, including Rotterdam, New York and Paris, are mainly composed of plates taken in the 1970s, and many people are looking away, such as homeless people and people with physical handicap. A masterpiece that appeals to the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of (many) human beings, but also realizes the invisible (unwilling to see) facts and makes us feel the importance of becoming a human being who is compassionate.
