Anyone know of any resources available that show/discuss Jun Shiraoka's work? He is a Japanese photographer living in France right now. He had his first American solo exhibition in 1988, but I cannot seem to find much on him. I have only seen one print: Shimizu, Japan, and would like know/see more.

His work, from what I know, is consists of dark and ambiguous imagery. He also is interested in the art and Zen philosophy, which permeates throughout his work, too. Just curious if anyone has heard of him. -chris

about dogpile

Thanks for the reply. I tried dogpile and indeed got several hits, but none had any substance on the man. They just mentioned his name or a gallery showing.

But, thanks for the info and the pointer towards Dogpile. I hadn't known it existed, and I can see its usefulness.
