After arriving in Tokyo in the 1970s for what had to be a short trip, Greg Girard instantly made up his mind to stay there. The professional photographer got a part-time gig working as an English teacher, giving him plenty of time to explore Tokyo city with his camera. Renting a darkroom and making black and white photos, and sending his slide film to a commercial processing lab, his street photography shots from this period remained largely unseen until The Magenta Foundation put them together into a book called Tokyo-Yokosuka 1976-1983.
