For his 60th birthday, Koji Onaka delves into his childhood.
Originally published in 2011, Koji Onaka has reissued his photo book "Long Time No See," including new images, for the 60th anniversary of his own birth. The book consists of photographs of Koji Onaka as a child, taken by his father (a passionate photographer) in black and white and colorized by Onaka in Photoshop. These are photos that were never intended for publication: Onaka cuddling his mother, the family posing to commemorate a holiday, Onaka as a toddler sitting on his father's motorcycle.
"Little pictures I've seen since I was a child. I enlarged them, added colors, and then I saw so much in them. I've never looked at single photographs for so long."
