Hiroshi Matsuzoe, atomic bomb survivor from Nagasaki
Friday, October 26th, 2012..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.”

Nagasaki…500 feet above my head….
Wednesday, August 8th, 2012..September 2008 Nagasaki, Japan..
….500 feet above my head the 2nd atomic bomb detonated on August 9th, 1945. Blood, fire, black rain, and heat engulfed everywhere around me. For a split second the temperature at the epicenter reached 1 million degrees.
….100 feet to my right corpses piled on the river creating a dam of death that stopped the flow of water. The Urakami Cathedral a 1/2 mile down the street collapsed and fell down a hillside. Part of the tower still sits at the bottom.
The world had gone MAD. Never have we witnessed the level of insanity experienced in 1945. What did we do here? Nothing can justify this atrocity. To think this could happen again terrifies me.
..2nd day in Nagasaki at the epicenter of the atomic bomb, I don’t think the entire story has ever been told or ever will be comprehended.
