Moriyama questions why we discard the first few images at the beginning of a film. Their purpose is to advance the roll but why are they of lesser importance to the rest of the images? To me this answer was obvious. That they were not methodical enough, not selected for a reason but merely a 'fluke' or chance. You therefore discard them because they do not do justice to the rest of your work. But Moriyama...

First off it would not be exaggerating to say that this first film, called "Lift" is the best short film I've ever seen, a real slice of modern Urban Britain. Beautifully shot with empathy for the subject that in turn allows film maker Mark Isaacs to really get under the skin of his subject. A masterclass in social documentary from 2001. And second up what could be more " Urban"...

Japanese Street photographer Daido Moriyama is one of my personal heroes. I love his gritty, contrasty black-and-white photobooks of cluttered street scenes in Japan, stray dogs, bits of trash, and photographic mistakes that he also recognizes for their beauty, as well. In this cool 10 minute video he talks about some of his working methods, his desire to take "nasty" pictures, and his claim...
