the man in the Dunes

2023 Winter
Sakai Minato, Tottori pref

This winter, I made a short trip to Sakae Minato bay in Tottori pref. I have always known the photographer Shoji Ueda(1925-2000), who made plenty of surrealistic photographs at the Tottori Dunes since the 1950's.
I have always assumed that he must have resided somewhere in Tottori prefecture, somewhere near the famous Dunes (which is quite far from this town), but I never knew he was born and lived in Sakai Minato, and even runned his own Camera Shop here.
This large format camera was shot at this UEDA CAMERA shop, now became a small camera museum showing most of his precious camera collection over the window.
I accidentally bumped into this "museum" which I never knew that existed so it was a surprising incident for me.

This accident was one of the highlight of my trip, since I stopped by this town after the business trip in Matsue city, in Shimane Pref.
