The camera magazine "Photo Contest 69-10 / Photo Contest Monthly 69-10" was published by Shasha Hyoronsha. The publisher is Shinya Yoshimura. Yoshimura was a legendary photo critic and editor who passed away in 1978 at the young age of 44. He was a high school classmate of Hideki Hosoe, and in his third year, Yoshimura was the head of the photography club and Hosoe was a member. After that, he went on to study at Waseda University, and since the 1960s he has been writing reviews for camera magazines and other publications. Photo Hyoronsha, which he founded himself, has published many wonderful photo books, including Daido Moriyama's ``Goodbye to Photography'' and Shomei Tomatsu's ``I am a King,'' which can be said to be world-famous works. As the name suggests, Photo Contest is a magazine that mainly collects entries from amateurs, and Koshio Kuwabara and others also make selections. A series of works typical of this era, reminiscent of Camera Mainichi's "Album" series. In addition to introducing the monthly prize-winning works, this issue also features a memorial photo session for Kiyoshi Niiyama and Yoshimura's ``Appreciation of a Masterpiece ``One Day in a Place'' (Yasuhiro Ishimoto), which are also worth seeing.
