<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This short and sweet--and astonishingly beautiful--book of photographs by the Tokyo-born and based Takashi Homma features 32 color images, primarily of the artist's daughter, although there are also some cityscapes and interiors that round out the story with perfect pitch. Homma offers an extremely well calibrated selection of images of his daughter from her first months to about age six: we see her sitting in her high chair; at a picnic; peeking through the car window; and taking some pictures of her own. Luminous, loving and relaxed, these portraits welcome the reader into the artist's inner world without giving anything away. "Tokyo and My Daughter," featuring one of the best family dog pictures ever, is published in the same series as Nieves' "Kim Gordon: Chronicles Vol.1, Mike Mills: Humans," and "Yukari Miyagi: Rabbit & Turtle." Homma has published his work in many international magazines and exhibited worldwide.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>An expanded edition of Takashi Homma's acclaimed 2006 homage to his two great loves</strong></p><p>The intention behind <i>Takashi Homma: Tokyo and My Daughter</i> is best explained by the photographer himself: "I love my daughter very much. I love Tokyo very much." Homma's (born 1963) affection is nearly tangible in this series of 32 color photographs in which images of his daughter are placed beside detail shots of the city's cars, houses and trees. <p/>Homma's daughter, captured in various stages of toddlerhood in everyday locations, stares serenely just beyond the camera lens, unselfconscious and generally appearing more interested in the person holding the camera than the device itself: in one photograph, she peers out curiously from the backseat of a car, while in another she points her own tiny pink camera back at her father. Homma's photography is imbued with a warmth and sincerity that belies his total familiarity with the subjects at hand; he documents Tokyo's urban landscape with the same tenderness he brings to portraying his daughter. </p>
