something pretty


















このところ、毎日のように渋谷に通っている。
土曜日に人に会って、月曜火曜はバイトの面接で、今日は友達と映画。
写真は映画館の廊下の窓。

Lately, I go to shibuya almost everyday. Last Saturday I had an appointment,
Monday & Tuesday I had interviews for part time job,
and today I watched a movie with may friend.
The picture is the window in the aisle of the theater.

映画はアニーリーボヴィッツ。
日本では、彼女のような写真家はなかなか生まれないだろうと思った。
なんたって、彼女の周りにあるものは、
日本では考えられないくらい強烈だもの。有名人の”有名”のレベルが違う。

The movie I saw was "Annie Liebovitz".
I thought the photographer like her won't appear so easily in Japan.
Things happening around her are far more exciting and stimulative
than things in Japan.
Celebrities in USA are far famous than celebrities in Japan. wow.....













ところで渋谷って、歩いて原宿、表参道、恵比寿にも行けるし、
新宿とはたった三駅しか離れてないんだよね。
東京の驚異的な密度を感じる....
写真は渋谷の裏道で見つけたやつ。
インベーダーゲームのキャラみたいで可愛い。

By the way, we can walk to Harajuku, Omotesando or Ebisu from Shibuya,
and distance between Shibuya and Shinjuku is only 3 stations.
I think Tokyo is particular for its closeness.
I took the picture in theback street of Shibuya.
It's like a character of invader-game, it's cute.

ちなみに秋葉原から上野、浅草もすごく近いんだよ。
Oh, do you know? Akihabara is close to Ueno and Asakusa.

Hi

I just stumbled upon your blog and your photography work reminded me very much of mine when I was a student and some of the images I take now. I am an artist from Scotland, I trained in textile design but now mainly focus on photography and painting. I am very into photorealist painting and some of your images reminded me of the work of RICHARD ESTES. I have attached a couple of links for you to look at if your don't already know of him.

I have just re started my blog and will hopefully keep it updated so if you want to drop me a message then feel free.

Good luck with your studies.

thank you sminsh!

I didn't know about R.Estes.
and I found my idea of taking picture of warped images on curved surface is not the newest..^ ^;

anyway, I'll visit your blog.
