The first photo book, "What is good?", contains about 200 items selected from Shimamura's career in the past 10 years, including Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Laos, New York and Portland.

 

――Why do I take a picture?

Photographs for me.
Words to interact with people and this world.

The picture is to breathe.
To be honest, why did you take that moment?
There are things that I can't explain or remember.

But every moment I am sure
I think it was "good" for me.

It is both absolute and relative.
It is both universal and personal.
