Photos by Seiichi Takezawa

Seiichi Takezawa’s photos come really close to many of the recent cliches of Booooooooom photography: film, washed out color, blurry, “nature” as the subject. Still, when I sent the link to a friend and wrote, “i’m kind of blown away – this kind of quasi mystical, ‘modern shaman’ style is, like, sort of played out, but when you’re hitting it this well, who cares!” There’s something going on here. The strange framing of these photos, and the way that they flow together on his Tumblr grabs me. I’d like to see these photos in a small zine form.

Seiichi lives in Nagano.

nice. some of it reminds me of tomoe murakami’s work…especially the fog ones. (i met her in san diego for a photo show we both were in of all places).

Oh, funny you mention Tomoe Murakami, I met her at Higashikawa this year and last…

she’s really nice/soft spoken. no one really spoke any japanese so i was kinda the only person we could kinda sorta broken japanese chat with.
