While reviewing negatives of rock fragments shattering in a matter of seconds, Hatakeyama discovered a sequence of frames where a bird unexpectedly flew across the sky. The title \"#130\" denotes the 130th blast he had photographed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOperating the camera remotely from a safe distance, Hatakeyama was unable to look through the viewfinder at the moment of the explosion. When he first saw these images—the result of collective human effort and a chance natural occurrence—he was deeply moved. In his later book, Speaking Photographs, he reflected that this single moment made his two decades of visiting the mines worthwhile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book design is by Asuka Wakita, a former apprentice of Shin Sobue, who designed Hatakeyama’s 2013 monograph BLAST.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"roshin books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52331291214113,"sku":null,"price":30.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0218\/1921\/files\/1_20535b45-bf53-47db-913c-2b5257ec032a.jpg?v=1770698584","url":"https:\/\/btob.bookandsons.com\/products\/a-bird-blast-130","provider":"BOOK AND SONS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
