It is Sunday .. and If it's Sunday, it's The Sunday Salon.
Greg Fallis takes us on a haunting journey through the photographs of Hiroshi Watanabe, with special attention paid to the images of the San Lázaro Psychiatric Hospital.
There is a soft, compassionate quality to Watanabe's images, even when he is photographing the most innocuous subject…even when he is at his most objective. His portraits of psychiatric patients are as beautiful as they are revealing. Watanabe says his photographs "reflect both genuine interest in my subject as well as a respect for the element of serendipity. I strive for both calculation and discovery in my work, studying my subjects in preparation, while at the same time keeping my mind open for the surprises.
