One of the most inspiring interviews of mr. Kenna. It's so good to see that your heroes are just the same as you, with the same thoughts, beliefies and fears. As a foreigner living in Japan I feel so lucky to be able to spend so much time photographing this beautiful country, with very similar feelings as one of my heroes. Thank you so much for this video. ✌

What an awe inspiring and captivating presentation. Simplicity and impact. One of my all time favourite photographers. Thanks for so generously sharing your observations and insights.

This man is in the infinity. That's why he is unreachable.

As a Liverpool fan Michael may be surprised, you were robbed of 10 points, I hope you stay up, the fixture list just wouldn't be the same without you. As to his work, always sublime, a joy to behold. Loved the bit about format, my own work is sized to whatever I choose it to be not by someone else's constraints.

As a supporter of the Red side I feel Everton have been hard done by and hope they get over the 10 point deduction. Enjoyable discussion and though I've never totally got the Kenna fascination, I think I need to reassess my opinion and spend more time looking at his work. Thank you both.

I am a big fan of you Michael, and I do have your book "Trees" and I am very inspired by your images. Thank you for your work. In this video I was curious on the zone system and how you would use it or just buy your years of processing you have it down. Again you are awesome and I love your images. Take care

Michael, I know being an Evertonian has had to have worn on you this last couple seasons though:)

I applaud MK size that is printed! I always wondered looking into small finders 6x6cm or worse 35mm and then printing huge stupid murals! I've made mural for work. I hated them, Photography even published is a selfish personal moment !. Bravo. I adore Michael's work esp. of Hokkaido! but foe reasons I never understood, have a special place for Japan..

He definitely doesn’t look 70.
