I don’t know when “BADMAN! Stealer” stole my real one and left “this instax fake sunrise”! in my flat! (I didn’t know but this film is”WIDE”!? Is there wide instax in the UK?)
Following the original Polaroid Corporation’s bankruptcy in 2001, the production lines and proprietary analog formulas faced a turbulent transition. If your interest in “Polaroid UK 2002 machines” involves analog photography hardware from that era, here is how the landscape was shifting:
President Trump: “North Sea is loaded. I have had every oil company come to see me. Sir, could you give us access to the UK? We would do anything to drill in the North Sea.”
イギリスがthis is not our warってイランの最高指導者亡くなったころに言ってたのはNorth Seaのこともあるの？(オイル？)
アヴァロンって、、、North Seaからどのぐらい近い？
えーあい
North Sea oil consists of significant petroleum and natural gas reserves located beneath the North Sea, primarily divided between the UK and Norwegian sectors. While it previously secured energy independence and tax revenues for these nations, the basin is now a mature resource driving major economic and environmental debates
ー
The comparison between the North Sea and Newfoundland usually highlights their shared status as two of the world’s most treacherous marine environments and major offshore oil-producing hubs. Both regions face harsh, unforgiving weather, severe ocean currents, and icy conditions
Geological Origins: Both basins share a deeply connected ancient history. The rifting and sea-floor separation that created the North Atlantic Ocean around 130 million years ago led to the separation of Newfoundland from the Iberian Peninsula and the creation of sedimentary basins (including the North Sea).

My APS film “It’s all gone now rat!” is one before my marriage in my 20s.
I wrote something in the first letter to Alec, coz I found the word “INADEQUATE” when I opened the envelope.

I found the word “receding”
when I was reading VOGUE magazine about Alec’s child home and Prince (Alec mentioned it in his second letter, I knew a bit, but didn’t know much about)
Receding landscape?…ah

LIGHT and WORD
THE WORDS CAN LIGHT THIS UNIVERSE
THE LIGHT of GOD within the words
This is what I am thinking about “THE WORD”.
I remembered about my own novel, while I was reading Alec’s second letter, so I wrote a chapter in my Japanese novel in English coz he said he can’t read Japanese…:)!
About a month ago, I was writing about “making an end”.
(JUST A CYBERPUNK “full moon”)
I was thinking that way originally, so I wrote like that (in a different chapter… it’s more for a message to the readers)
TALK only with TRU WORDS so that GOD “CAN” appear in your words.
THE WORD GOD lives
It’s a message
TRUTHFUL WORDS I always write
“It’s better you talk only with TRU WORD.”

I’ve read about Tibetan Monks
(They are trying to find “the next His holiness” and they see the surface of the water to find God’s message.)
so I thought, ah! “THIS religion” also dose same! (I didn’t know!)
I find “a part” in a different religion like this:)!
So…! Other religions also have kind of similar traditions “to find God’s message in nature (surface of the water)”!
I decided to write my own novel as a poem using the same title “The Elephant in the Dark” before reading Sufi’s poem:)! (I’ve read an Indian story tho)
Why do “they criminals” want so many FAKES in their lives?(not for me! But they want to make FAKES and steal real prints or…
Baby bedのことをなんとなく覚えていて「タオル(どんなだったか)」くわしくは書いていないけど。多分、私は生後半年だったんじゃないかな？記憶の中のタオルと私。母がbaby bedの写真を撮っていたかは、、、正直ないかもな？とも思ったんだけれど。
I remember my baby bed, I do remember “the colour” of the towel in my baby bed but I didn’t describe (IDFC:)! Prob Alec can’t draw my baby bed! coz I didn’t tell him…haha!)
I was 6months old, smoothing out the wrinkles in the towel in my baby bed.
I guess my mom dosen’t have baby bed photo tbh…
I didn’t write about wrinkles of the towel in my letter to Alec, but I thought I write it here :)!
Paisley Park: The legendary former home, recording studio, and estate of musical icon Prince. Fans from all over the globe visit to tour this massive complex and pay homage to his legacy.
Chanhassen is a thriving, picturesque suburb situated about 16 miles southwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He rode his bicycle to the arboretum three miles west of Paisley; he would show up at the Caribou Coffee in Chanhassen and pay with a $100 bill, tipping the change, because his custom-made pants had no pockets.
-Neither of us had ever met Prince, but Alec had come close. In late 1985, Prince moved into a three-story yellow mansion on the land adjoining his family’s house, a couple of miles from where Paisley Park would be built. The two places were separated by woods, fields, a little creek. Alec was 15 and
アレックくんは15歳だったのか。。。
for at least a year he lived in the actual midst of Prince. “I would walk through the forests to the fence line, and watch his security patrol the place on snowmobiles,” he remembered. To live in such sheer proximity was to feel a little bit royal. And then, a year later, shortly after Alec’s family moved into the city, they heard Prince expanded his holdings, purchasing the property and demolishing the farmhouse that once stood there.
When Doves Cry
(、、、私にとって初めてのプリンス？どれだろう？案外覚えてないかも？)
I did have a sharp, distinct memory of the first time I’d heard Prince—“When Doves Cry,” as a kid on a long car ride a thousand miles away, when I was too young to understand the illicit and magic-genius things I heard within the song.
But even as I stared out the window at a receding landscape, I had the distinct impression I’d just been handed a connection to a future self.
I just thought today…(so I got Alec’s letter but it took really long?)
No postmark sometime?
今回は手書きで前回はタイプライター？(一応本物届いてる？^_^)

Alec Soth frequently incorporates handwriting and handwritten notes into his photobooks and zines as an intimate, tactile extension of his visual storytelling. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Soth’s use of handwritten elements appears across several notable projects:
Niagara (2006): In this monograph exploring the region around the famous falls, Soth includes handwritten love letters and cryptic notes taped to pages, capturing the vulnerability and desperation often trailing the aftermath of romance. The book’s faux-leather back cover even features an embossed, handwritten question. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Advice for Young Artists (2024): In this project documenting undergraduate art programs across the U.S., Soth scatters unfinished ideas and gnomic quotes scrawled on Post-it notes throughout the pages. [1, 2, 3]
Gathered Leaves Annotated (2022): This annotated retrospective of his major works contains margin scribbles, annotations, and taped-in handwritten notes to re-contextualize his past projects. [1, 2]
Winnebago Workshop (2016): Working with students on a traveling workshop, Soth paired individual portraits with personal writing by the subjects in their own handwriting. [1, 2]
Correspondence Projects: Soth has embraced this style outside of bound books too, such as his A Year of Letters project via his Little Brown Mushroom Newsletter, where he sends personalized letters hand-written or typed on the backs of his photographs to subscribers. [1]
If you are interested in his writing process or want to explore where to view scans of these handwritten spreads, let me know! I can help you find:
Specific galleries or online features showcasing his books

Coq???
Best hunting grounds for older birds are traditional butchers, farmers’ markets and mail order. With their access to fresh air, free-range birds have had the opportunity to build stronger, thicker bones than anything kept indoors, and will make a more sumptuous sauce.

No instax in Somerset
I didn’t go Glasto fes, instead We (me and my future husband) climbed up to Tor and waited for the sunrise!
It was a beautiful gathering, I didn’t know if there were so many people around. (We climbed in the dark!) People were waiting for the special sunrise from the Tor…! It’s another once in a life time experience! Someone just gave the Polaroid to me…:) BLACK SUN.
The one I wanted to send was… Me smiling in front of child chest with a giraffe on it with lot of stickers! I was wearing red summer dress but don’t remember who I was smiling at…(Mom? Papa?)
None can damage my beautiful memory! (Ppl can steal my real prints or photos but…)

“I received a letter from you, but still I don’t know much about you!…so tell me about You!”
Now I know your birthday :) haha!
I was watching full moon rising in the dessert when you were 33:)!
This is the day I found out WHY:)!
I’ll ask him about 22 August sometime…:)
an illusion
He said but…anyway We live in illusions? (or I should say “THEY” want us to live in “an” illusion?)
“I realised everything is connected” Alec said.
hippy-dippy :)
“this sudden realisation that everything in the universe was connected”
I do have this kind of “sudden realisation”, but I don’t know if it’s the moment I press the shutter button or…
I knew so I press the button I guess, so I don’t really think about things sometimes in the nature.
So… Sudden realisation kind of moment?
I try to recall but…
Ah
so he dosen’t know why he lives on planet earth… but he knew “that kind of sudden realisation”… I wonder why coz it’s kind of all connected!
If he knows it, why he dosen’t know that?
Maybe I can ask Alec sometime :)!
Now I know he never been to Osaka! (But he knows Black rain kind of Osaka:)! Yakuza!)
Prince and his childhood home…(I’ll google it later…
To know somebody and letter writing!
Before receiving his replay letter, I was thinking it might be difficult to find Japanese movie in Minnesota but he could :) (Black Rain! I guess I didn’t know how to explain my City Osaka when I was a high school student…)
Kobo Abe, I only read “The Box Man” 箱男 when I was a high school student.
About Basho, I sited (Magico Mexico) coz Rebecca and Alex Webb introduced his book (I knew famous opening line, but never read full! I’ll try sometime!)
The Mississippi is imaginary thing for him as well? ( Ah I want to have raft ride like Huckleberry Finn but…:()
It exists only in “OUR” imagination!
I love Ise shrine! I want to go again sometime, if Alec is interested, We can visit Ise shrine (and Futami Okitama shrine!) for winter solstice or I want “perfect sunrise picture!” …(2 times? It was sunny! Could see Mt.Fuji!)
I know he prob can’t read Japanese(can’t use auto translate if it’s written on a paper? Or scanned paper???) …but sorry I didn’t want to write all in Japanese (some part, I didn’t write in English ごめんなさい！)
I just read Dylan’s word and I was thinking sometimes I feel not as fresh as in my 20s( I never saw this?)…
But! I can go! I can do!
Something new experiences.
(I never thought if I travel with Alec like this? Newfoundland!?)
Good to live!(…so tough at the moment tho..:( )

Historical Links: According to traditions and localized folklore in England, Avalon is frequently asso. In the late 12th century, monks at Glastonbury claimed to have discovered the graves of Arthur and his queen,
Magical Ties: Prior to his final rest, the island is also occasionally cited as the place where Excalibur was forged.
a place of magic where King Arthur‘s sword Excalibur was made and later where Arthur was taken to recover from being gravely wounded at the Battle of Camlann.
Avalon has often been identified as the former island of Glastonbury Tor.

An early and long-standing belief involves the purported discovery of Arthur’s remains and their later grand reburial, in accordance with the medieval English tradition in which Arthur did not survive the fatal injuries he suffered in his final battle. Besides Glastonbury, several other alternative locations of Avalon have also been claimed or proposed. Many medieval sources also localized the place in Sicily, and European folklore connected it with the phenomenon of Fata Morgana.
UK’s St. Michael Ley Line and its mystical connection to Avalon. In Arthurian legend,
Avalon is the mythical island where King Arthur was taken to heal. . In occult and Earth-energy traditions, Glastonbury (the spiritual heart of the ley line) is widely equated with ancient Avalon. [1, 2, 3]
The St. Michael Ley Line (often called the Michael and Mary Line) is a purported “dragon” energy line running roughly 350 miles across southern England. [1, 2]
フレンチ・インディアン戦争（フレンチ・インディアンせんそう、英: French and Indian War、仏: Guerre de la Conquête、1754年 - 1763年）は、七年戦争のうち、北アメリカを舞台に繰り広げられた一連の戦闘である。イギリス領アメリカ植民地とヌーベルフランスが主な戦場となり、いずれも、本国からの援助を得て戦闘が行われた。
At that time I didn’t know the significance of these samples,” he says with a smile.
He still has some of the rock samples he collected in the late 1960s.
(1960sは安全だったんだろうな？)
Prof Misra says his discovery was a significant one.
“Before this discovery, it used to be uni-cellular organisms but the fossils that I stumbled upon were multi-cellular and it established a crucial link in the history of evolution of plant life,” he says.
新境地への移行このヘルシンキでの体験は、それまでのアメリカのロードトリップを追うようなスタイルや社会からの「逃避」をテーマにした作品（『Broken Manual』など）から、人間同士のつながりや親密さを静かに見つめる『I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating』という新たなシリーズを生み出す原動力となりました。
1972年から1976年までダートマス大学で英語を専攻し、さらにジョンズ・ホプキンズ大学大学院創作科に進み、1979年に修士号を取得した。ダートマス大学でネイティヴ・アメリカン研究プログラムを設立した人類学者のマイケル・ドリス（英語版）と出会ったことをきっかけに、自らの祖先の歴史・文化について興味をもち、調査・研究を行った。ドリスとは1981年に結婚し、ドリスの実子3人を養子にし、さらにドリスとの間に3子をもうけた[3]。ドリスは小説家でもあり、邦訳書に先住民の子どもを主人公とする『青い湖水に黄色い筏』[4]、『朝の少女』[5]、『森の少年』[6]、『水の国を見た少年』[7]などがある。また、1989年には胎児性アルコール症候群の子どもを描いた『切れた絆 (The Broken Cord)』で全米批評家協会賞を受賞した。アードリックはインタビューで、多くのネイティヴ・アメリカンの文化が完全に破壊され、生き残っている者たちにとって最も深刻な問題は貧困、胎児性アルコール症候群および慢性的な絶望感であるとし、これを原子爆弾投下後の放射線障害に例えている[8]。実際、彼女の作品にもこうした問題に苦しむ人物が多く登場する。
