A New Way of Seeing, 1983 By Nakahira Takuma (1938-2015)
As they wait to cross the street, a Japanese mother and child appear like refugees lost in the tumult of a strange city. Photographer Nakahira made his name in I970 with-blurred-and disorienting photographs, but in 1977 drank himself into a stupor and forgot all that he knew, including .how to take pictures. In this book he has relearned photography and developed a new and clearer way of seeing. (British Museum photo label, July 2021)

Lunch followed. Gordievsky’s manner during these early encounters was oddly calm, leading the Brits to wonder if they were the victims of a classic KGB “dangle”.

It’s an endless series of hoops that you have to jump through, starting from way back, maybe as early as junior high school.
