"happie photographie"

hidemi sato explains her practice of what she calls “happie photographie,” in the new york times:

“when i was a little girl in Japan, i saw the movie ‘american graffiti’ on tv. i was amazed by the color in the film. everybody was dressed in bright clothes: all of the cars and furniture were extremely colorful. i felt it was very american, and it filled me with happie feelings.”
