Graham Nash: Hiroshima, Japan, 1987
“I have been a photographer for most of my life. . . . I have always enjoyed observing the life around me, and I had a camera before I owned a guitar.”—Graham Nash
From a very early age musician Graham Nash was making photographs; when he was ten years old, his father, an amateur photographer, showed him the art of developing negatives in the family kitchen and turned the young Nash’s bedroom into a darkroom. Recently, Nash referred to those early experiences as “[that] piece of magic that would change my life forever.”
Hiroshima, Japan, 1987, typifies what Nash describes as his process: “I love not knowing what’s ready to greet me. It’s about the hunt. It’s out there. I just have to find it. At times I put myself in a space to catch images, at others I'm just trying to deal with all the images swirling around me in this chaotic world. Invariably, I find something that I recognize as having value to me, and hopefully for others.” This image of a found object echoes the hopefulness of Nash’s point of view: “There really is a kind of insane beauty around us all the time. It’s just a question of learning to slow down, take a deep breath and meet the moment.”
