Following an inbound link from a Japanese site over to my site is no easy task. So what do. I immediately turned to Google translate and started perusing around until one link lead to another and I stumbled by chance with the content below. It turns out Daido Moriyama had a pre-production GR and was already busy at work. Moriyama just started a new project(this May) which will lead to an exhibition in Okinawa in January 2014 and shot exclusively with the Ricoh GR. Great news!

Just this morning i came to this post. thats really fun news, cant wait to see what Mr. Moriyama does with the new GR. I love mine and i Love Moriyama’s work.
i don’t think so, he used everything, is not important.
I know but he’s currently shooting with the GR in a special project.
I attended a Moriyama lecture at the Japan Society last year here in NYC. Someone asked him what he was photographing with and he said “Nikon”. The look on his face was somewhat not very pleased with it. Seemed like he switched over to the “enemy”. I always associate Moriyama with the GR series of cameras.
