I took a picture of still life photography today instead of model shooting
because I have failed to arrange for a model.
But result was fine.
Images of wrist watches with things having good memories.
Gems which were remnants of my handicraft materials
I bought in India more than ten years ago.
Pin badges I bought in a flea market in Russia.
Turquoise from Tibet.
Although watches were not new and with a lot of scratch,
I like these picture I took today.

I had a photo shooting as a test of lighting in a studio last weekend.
The result indicated that I did not acquire enough skill of the lighting
as a professional photographer and I had lost an imagination.
I tried to find it while shooting,
but I was just puzzled and had no inspiration from anything.
Before I had confidence to make something beautiful by photography
in spite of lack of grounds and I believed my work would be
regarded good. Now I don't think so.
However, this will be good opportunity of a challenge
to make my photography better
by more photo shooting, studying history of art
and knowing the place where I am.

Beginning of a new week.
As I had no project,
I strolled around a park with camera after a long time.
I could take one picture which didn't reach enough quality,
but it may become a guideline of the photos I want to take.
After all, only taking a photo makes me have
actually feeling of having advanced.
I came back from Korea.
The impression I got was,
it was too cold...
I had a shooting of one japanese famous musician today.
I had a photo shoot with a famous Japanese musician today. I think he would be one of the most great artist
as a piano player and composer in Japan.
He is one of the best (greatest) pianists and composers in Japan.
The shooting was for a magazine and in the end of the shooting,
I was scolded by him.
I could not concentrate on at that time and
I did not try to capture the being of the musician.
All I did was just trying to compose focus on the photo composition.
He noticed it.
and told me I should be more serious. Musician is living for an instant.
Photographer will be same.
A musician lives for the moment.
A photographer (or any artist, for that matter) should do the same.
But I was not like him.
When I saw his piano concert in on the internet few days ago, He was totally concentrating on his playing
to make visible his vision by sounds.
He was totally focused on his playing.
One could see his vision through the sound of his music.
And I?
I should consider again, what is Photography?
As an aim of this year, I made up my mind to do two things.
First, to hold my exhibition.
Second, to study english again.
An exhibition is really needed to promote myself to the market in Japan and to recognize my progress.
English, I knew how important it is, but I tried not to see it for long time.
My Italian friend who is doing photographer recommended my blog to be written in English. He knows blog is great media to show own thing.
So I try.
I wish I could laugh at my post in this blog because of a lot of grammatical mistakes, when I read it again in the end of this year.
