Tomoko Daido is a Japanese photographer who takes black and white pictures of things she sees on her travels. One Hundred Shots includes 100 images from New York City, Cleveland, Buenos Aires, Japan, Berlin, and Mexico. All images are printed 7 x 7″. With an introduction by Geoffrey Young, One Hundred Shots is Daido’s first substantial book. Widely traveled, she is a hunter of images. Her prey is out there, as yet unidentified, until she sees it.

About the Publisher
Geoff Young and Laura Chester began The Figures in 1975 in Berkeley, claiming the name of the press from Charles Olson’s Maximus Poems. The Figures grew to be one of the three or four most important publishers of experimental writing in the country, publishing some 135 titles.
Young informally closed The Figures in 2005, although he has published a couple of titles under the imprint since: his own The Point Less Taken (2013) and Michael Gizzi’s Complete Poems (2015).
