..October 2012.. ..Nagasaki..
Earlier this year, Mainichi newspaper ran a story about atomic bomb survivor Hiroshi Matsuzoe, who I photographed in Nagasaki for my book From Above.
Last April he had an operation on his throat to removed a cancer. He lost his voice. From September, he has been training on an electronic device to speak again. He has been quite successful and on the day of the newspaper report, April 26, he was having his first lecture after the cancer operation.
‘I’m getting a little tense, ’cause I’m a bit afraid that I can’t speak well enough. But, I speak for the elimination of the nuclear weapons.’ through the machine, his voice was powerful.”
