Japanese life photographer Masao Ishikawa's photo collection “Life in Philly”. He studied photography at the “Tomatsu Lighting School”, held numerous solo exhibitions in the 1980s, and published his masterpieces such as “Hot Days in Camp Hansen !!”, “Philippines” and “Port Town Elegy” in his own publication. . Born in Okinawa in 1953 and experienced Japan's return to Japan in 1972, Ishikawa decided to take a picture of this burning island, Okinawa, and has consistently been "related to Okinawans and Okinawa". A rare photographer who continues to shoot only. This book is a collection of photographs published in 2009 in Tokyo. In 1986, Ishikawa left her daughter with her parents, and in the 70s it consisted of illustrations taken when traveling to Philadelphia to meet a black friend who lived in Okinawa as a US soldier and returned to the United States . Ishikawa captures portraits of black people who live brightly and positively in Philadelphia, which had become a dirty city due to a strike of the cleaning workers' union at that time. The contrast between the dirty streets and the smiling black people is interesting, and this book is fascinated by a portrait full of love and humanity. (Parr & Badger Vol.Ⅲ published)
