The 32nd GRist is Yuji Tozawa!

I remember last year at "GR meet Moji", Yuji Tozawa had a walk with about 50 participants in the scorching sun. Please also read the report from the meet, if you are interested.

You can see the photos on TOP page or on GRist page.


About GR
I usually use an SLR for my job and shoot with a conscious composition, but in daily snap shooting for my art work, the GR is ideal because pressing the shutter in response to the spinal reflexes to capture unexpected moments turns out better than expected and the it responds to that with its simplicity as an extension of my fingertip. In addition, the GR makes a perfect balance between the right weight and the full density inside the body. It’s compact enough to fit in your palm but heavy enough to prevent shaking. It’s is my best companion to get closer to the essence of photography.
