A passionate advocate of digital photography, Uchihara is accustomed to taking several hundred shots daily, some of which are automatically uploaded to his website. A few are presented here; they were taken during his travels to Tokyo, in the Klong Toey slum in Bangkok, and during his leisure moments in his hotel room. Every detail is as important as a field of rotten apples or the bustling activity of a street, all captured in full page, in vivid colors, with a nonchalant gaze on order, chaos, life, and death. (Excerpt from the publisher's presentation). The title 'Son of Bit' reflects Uchihara's attachment to digital photography. Indeed, the bit is the simplest unit in a numbering system. It can have two values, most often represented by the digits 0 and 1.
