Back then, my dad and I would argue whenever we met. But one day, he called and said, 'I'll give you 200,000 yen. Go shoot the Rockers Reunion party in London.' That amount had to cover everything—flights, transportation, meals, and other expenses. I packed my bag with ILFORD black-and-white film, which I loved at the time, and made it a condition to take his Canon New F-1 as well. In my 20s, I set off to capture the Rockers, and now that journey holds a special place in my memories.
