American photographer Dave Heath's photo book "Dialogues with Solitudes". Born in Philadelphia in 1931, his father abandoned his family when Heath was one and disappeared, and his mother abandoned Heath when he was four and disappeared with his parents. Heath's boyhood, when his grandparents refused to receive Heath and were raised in a depressed family and an orphanage. After conscription to South Korea, a few years after Yasuhiro Ishimoto, he went to Chicago's New Bowhouse. Heath's photographs, which he learned from Aaron Siskind and others and later became friends with Eugene Smith, are full of sharpened sense of smell and deep humanity. The Japanese translation of the title is "Dialogue with Solitude." "Solitude" is often themed by many photographers, but Heath's loneliness has a different weight. There are moments of joy and happiness in our lives, but of course we also experience sadness and despair, and Heath's illustrations tell us how to accept those tragic aspects.
