Interview: Sean Wood
In Shibuya, a little less than a year ago, I bumped into this guy for the first time. He had a Rollei around his neck so I struck a conversation with him. It wasn’t long before I realized he was an artist going by the alias of “50mm” or ”motion-id” whose work I have admired [...]
