「私はかなり近づいて写真を撮るカメラマンだと言われるが、歳を重ねるごとにその距離はどんどん縮まっている。」- Bruce Gilden

"I'm known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get." - Bruce Gilden

In 2011, New York-based street photographer Bruce Gilden was commissioned by the Archive of Modern Conflict to capture the people and places of London. Kalev Erickson, who accompanied Gilden in his daily forays to photograph passers-by on the streets and wrote about the highs and lows of their various encounters in Issue 1 of Amc2 journal, has now drawn on the photographs made by Gilden for the London project to produce this book.
