Since I was not confident that I could live as photographer with a daughter, I decided to run a bar to make some steady money. I opened a bar in the middle of a residential area near Aja-Shinko port in Naha, where cargo ships come and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block;\"\u003eMost of the guests were men, including port workers and fishermen. They talked in the Okinawan language, drank a lot, fought each other; my bar was always lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block;\"\u003eI fell in love with one of the guests who worked at the port, and we started living together in an apartment near the bar. Near there, I found a little old house where a man was living alone after his wife and kids had left. Some men always gathered in the house, drinking all day, sometimes fighting to -– making a man’s world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block;\"\u003eNobody approached this house where scary-looking guys got together, but my boyfriend visited there every day. I also went with him, out of curiosity, to the house and started to shoot pictures of those men. Even when they started to fight and beat each other up, I just kept shooting silently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block;\"\u003e-Mao ISHIKAWA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook Size 178 x 257 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e96 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding Softcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication Date 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: Japanese, English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition 700\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"shashasha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45248127631578,"sku":"","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0371\/5780\/files\/Captured_ecran_le2024-05-22a07.42.41.png?v=1716378218","url":"https:\/\/studio-argentique.myshopify.com\/fr\/products\/a-port-town-elegy","provider":"Studio Argentique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
