Master of Monsters
Through the research for my last exhibition I discovered this book about Eiji Tsuburaya
by August Ragone. Great photos of man and monster and how they merge sometimes.

Ultraman Filmset
"It would have been far easier and cheaper for Tsuburaya to have gone to a construction site and filmed ordinary trucks lugging dirt than to have built a sprawling miniature set like this. Realism is not the point. It's about style; it's about mood. There's integrity in the way Tsuburaya and his people worked".
