The latest issue of the online photography magazine 28mm is up, and I’m honored that my series of photos of Japanese sumo wrestlers, entitled “Grace and Girth”, was accepted to be a part of it. Thanks to Rachel for all the hard work she must put into each issue to make them a reality. (Thanks also to Esthet for the nice mention).
The photos were drawn from photos taken over two visits to the Natsu Basho (Summer Tournament) in May, all of which can been seen here. Click on the photo below to be taken to the exhibit at 28mm.org.
My submission is just one of 12 for this issue, and by all means take a look at the others. Particular ones that appealed to me were Laura Domela’s “Neon Boneyard”, “Rain” by Amos Satterlee, and Alan Wilson’s “Women in Black”
UPDATE: Thanks also to Gen Kanai for a nice mention.
Hey, congrats on the publiction, Kurt! I particularly like the texture of the sand in the dohyo in picture 5. Good work.
