Swimmers, Larry Sultan



At the age of twelve, American photographer Larry Sultan narrowly escaped drowning. Some fifteen years later, he discovered a Red Cross swimming manual whose black and white photographs inspired him to start a series on learning to swim. The project quickly became an exploration of the formal potential of water, whose captivating images had long remained in the shadows. 
Brought together for the first time in a book published by the British publishing house MACK, they reveal a little-known facet of the photographer’s work.

Big Hit in Japan


The Narashika Train, or “Nara Deer Train,” does not look like any ordinary train. 
Each carriage features a green and grass-like floor, and tan-and-spotted seats modeled after the coat of the deer. Even the usual handgrips have been exchanged for special, deer-themed ones. 
And if that weren't enough, there are also banners featuring the friendly creatures hanging every few feet, and illustrations placed on the walls and windows. Altogether, these creative elements create a bucolic atmosphere reminiscent of the city of Nara itself. 
 Though this special train hasn't been in service for long—only since December 2022—it has already amassed an enthusiastic following. It runs on the Kintetsu Line between Kintetsu Nara and Kobe Sannomiya stations; however, since the trains run randomly, it is not always guaranteed you will be able to take a seat on the fuzzy deer seats.
 Still, if you're able to visit Nara, it's well worth a try.
