"I'm so happy to have my camera!" or "I'm really grateful that photography exists!" – these are things that I sometimes say to myself, and while the idea is not new, I recently feel this more than I did before. Now you may suggest that it's an age thing, and you do have a point there, but it's a bit different. In fact, I have these things in mind every time I grab my camera and go out. When I walk around with my camera day by day, there is a delicate sense of pleasure that walks along with me as I copy and connect sceneries of streets and alleys through the photographs that I take. After all, it's a photographer's life that I'm living.

– Excerpt from the afterword by Daido Moriyama
