My exhibition 金木犀 “Fragrant Tree” was finished today. I am thankful for everyone who came to see my photos.
I feel happiness whenever I can feel human connection with someone. That is why I take a photo.
Prints
I have been going to dark room a lot lately to make prints for my exhibition. It is so hard work to make silver- gelatin prints in traditional way. But I am quite happy with the result I get with help of great masters in DR.
I like contrast and darkness in photo.
Then, I am also happy that these photos are basically never filtered through digital medium, these are completely just chemical reaction on paper.
Seeing these images in computer screen don’t quite do them justice. Please come and see them in person next month.

Also there was spontaneous session with two special artists. What a delight!

Goodman
I went to plan my photo exhibition today in Goodman, Koenji. I met this lovely photographer who exhibited her works printed on wood. I loved especially the photo she took in Angkor Wat. I took her photo. It was so good time.
I also touched the old Steinway which sounded lovely. I played session with my old friend Ida-san, bassist. I used to play in band with him. I felt nostalgia to hear sound of his handsome Rickenbacker bass again.
I will be playing this in July in my exhibition. It will be so exciting month.
Here Sometimes, Tomorrow
My photo exhibition Here Sometimes will start from tomorrow. It has been quite a journey to get here. I really want to say thanks for everyone who was involved in making the photos.
Especially I want to say thanks to Saeko Nakahara, the beautiful model in the photo “Adoption” which is now in the front page, Maya Sinji Jung, my sister and big teacher in Jeju, and Turo Halinen who took the top photo in this post.
I also want to say thanks for my wife for allowing me to do what I want.
We have opening party at 6.00PM in the gallery tomorrow. I hope you can make it before the wine disappears.
