"Published in 1998, and the Kimura Ihei Award winner of the year, this is one of Homma's masterpieces from his early years.
He managed to turn the not-so-photogenic objects such as houses in the suburbs, dull sceneries, video game arcades, stoney-faced kids, McDonald's, family restaurants, and parking lots, into a piece of work that has become a milestone in the history of Japanese photography. Architect, Momoyo Kaijima and the Sociologist, Shinji Miyadai contributed texts. The photobook has been dealt at a very high value in the secondhand market as it has already gone out of print, and the publisher dissolved. This book was also picked up in "The Photobook: A History volume II" written and edited by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger." between the books

Comment: A wonderful book with great content and design. The app is a scan of a physical book, so you're getting a bit of the texture and feeling of the real book, which is highly collectible and therefore expensive these days. This app is a cheap and smart way to both get and grant access to this phenomenal body of work.
