As to introduce myself-Thank you, my dearest wife.


Our 1st pair rings

I decided to delete all blogs I wrote on the past site when I renewd my web site.
There are several reasons for this decision.

Creating this site can be the start of my new era of life, I felt.
I can tell some reasons for feeling this way, but the 1st of all is that I met my wife, Kayoko.
She used to be a professional photographer for more than decade, and that could be a reason,
but even besides that, she, as my life partner, supports me in mental and financial ways.

When I first met Kayoko, I was receiving the welfare for living.
Marrying Kayoko means I have to cut the welfare and go back to the social life once I quit to live for.
However, I didn’t have any hesitation nor worsen feeling but only feeling “I can do anything to make her happy”.

I don’t know yet if I could do it or not,
but after some years, when we look back, we will realize something I’m sure.

The first thing I did after knowing Kayoko was the cloud funding.
I wanted to prove that even someone like me can achieve what I want and to reveal it to everyone.
To do so, I needed a big budget.

Through the cloud funding, I was introduced by my wife to a lady who becomes my patron in future.
Now, she, as a sponsor, is supporting me to be a professional artist for the first time of my life
after over 20 years since I started photography in U.S..

And then, I decided to quite the digital photography and to go back to film, black & white photography.
That is my new series of work which is titled “fairy”.
I felt that throughout over 20 years I finally found what is my photography is.
I began again to print my works by myself at the rental darkroom.

The fact that I met a lady who supports my creation, that I could begin to work on the new photography,
and that, the most of all, I could make my own everyday life is because of my wife, I feel.
I always think how could I return the gifts to my wife,
and I think that will be that I make use of the chances she gave me and become the one I’ve been dreaming of.

I said this is my introduce, but I wrote only how my wife can be my help in life. Forgive me.
I will write more about myself and about my photographs on this blog. So please be looking forward to it.

To add, we are going to Spain as the honeymoon on Oct.
I will report you on time how that trip will be.

Thank you so much for reading, and have a good one.
