「1983年，三十歲的我和先生離婚。我對於要當一個攝影師同時又得帶著女兒生活不大有信心，因此我決定開一家酒吧以維持穩定的收入。我在那霸市安謝新港附近的住宅區裡開了這間酒吧，那個地方是貨船來去之處。
大部份上門的客人都是男人，有港口工人和漁民。他們大聲說著沖繩話、大口大口飲酒、有時還會打起架來，店裡很忙。
那時我愛上了一個在港口工作的客人，我們在酒吧附近的一間公寓裡開始同居。在那兒附近，我發現一間破舊的小屋裡住了一個男人，他從老婆小孩離開之後就獨自生活著。總是有很多男人會聚集在那屋裡，整天喝酒，時而互毆，這就成了這個男人唯一的世界。
看起來很恐怖的一群男人聚在一起的房子根本不會有人想靠近，但我的男人卻也每天都跑去。出於好奇，我有次也跟他去那間小屋，並且開始拍下這些男人的照片。即使他們就在我眼前開始揮舞拳頭、把彼此揍得鼻青臉腫，我就這麼按住快門默默地拍著……」——石川真生
石川真生(1953-)出生於沖繩，1974年赴東京「工作坊寫真學校」與攝影家東松照明學習攝影，自此長期紀錄沖繩的生活與人們，同時關注美軍駐沖繩基地問題。
《港町エレジー》(港町悲歌)最初版發行於1990年4月，隨著書本絕版，石川這批拍攝於1983至1986年的作品也愈來愈難見。直到四分之一個世紀過去，這本書終於在今年出版復刻本，同時增加收錄石川當年拍攝的未曾發表過的照片，並由石川親自編輯。
"It was in 1983 when I got divorced at the age of 30. Since I was not confident that I could live as photographer with a daughter, I decided to run a bar to make some steady money. I opened a bar in the middle of a residential area near Aja-Shinko port in Naha, where cargo ships come and go.
Most of the guests were men, including port workers and fishermen. They talked in the Okinawan language, drank a lot, fought each other; my bar was always lively.
I fell in love with one of the guests who worked at the port, and we started living together in an apartment near the bar. Near there, I found a little old house where a man was living alone after his wife and kids had left. Some men always gathered in the house, drinking all day, sometimes fighting to -– making a man’s world.
Nobody approached this house where scary-looking guys got together, but my boyfriend visited there every day. I also went with him, out of curiosity, to the house and started to shoot pictures of those men. Even when they started to fight and beat each other up, I just kept shooting silently."
