1913 - Kineo Kuwabara

戴著眼鏡的中年男子正是桑原甲子雄本人。此時的他已經歷了戰前的街頭拍攝與滿洲國時期，正全身心投入日本攝影評論與雜誌出版的幕後工作。照片大約拍攝於約 1960 年代。 二戰後轉任幕後，先後主編了《CAMERA》（カメラ）、《PRO-CAMERA》（プロフェッショナル・カメラ）以及《CAMERA MAl》（カメラ毎日）等戰後日本最頂尖的摄影雜誌。這個辦公室就是他審查稿件、與年輕攝影師交流、策劃專題的辦公室。

THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN WEARING GLASSES IS KINEA KUWABARA HIMSELF. AT THIS TIME, HAVING ALREADY EXPERIENCED PRE-WAR STREET PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MANCHUKUO PERIOD, HE WAS DEVOTING HIMSELF ENTIRELY TO THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES WORK OF JAPANESE PHOTOGRAPHY CRITICISM AND MAGAZINE PUBLISHING. THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN APPROXIMATELY IN THE 1960S. AFTER WORLD WAR II, HE TRANSITIONED TO BEHIND-THE-SCENES ROLES, SUCCESSIVELY SERVING AS THE CHIEF EDITOR FOR POST-WAR JAPAN'S TOP PHOTOGRAPHY MAGAZINES, INCLUDING "CAMERA," "PRO-CAMERA," AND "CAMERA MAINICHI." THIS OFFICE WAS WHERE HE REVIEWED MANUSCRIPTS, INTERACTED WITH YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHERS, AND PLANNED SPECIAL FEATURES.
