Mr. and Mrs. Nakagawa was traveling together (15? years it said in Obi from newspaper in Australia?) on Earth! (70s! it was 360 yen = 1USD!) worked and saved up in NY for 2 years and got his Camera…( They didn’t fly (maybe no FLIGHT? kind of “AGE”? … they travel by SHIP!)
After long journey, Mr. Nakagawa had exhibition in Ginza, met Mr. Katsui! he was so into Mr. Nakagawa’s photos ! so! Photo book “TIMELESS” designed by Mitsuo Katsui was born!
Mr. Katsui is (really really Famous Designer! …(but when I was in my 20s I didn’t know much about him…his Design at MOMA(don’t know which one …) and He was art director for Osaka Expo! in 60s!
TIMELESS
is the first book I got
after I thought, Okay! I want to take photos! more:)!! (in Morocco, I met children in the dessert and they said “It’s tranquil here…relaxmax)
Alex はたぶんオンラインで読むことできるrelaxmaxの写真集見たことあると思うけど!
(リンクは送ったかなー^_^昔!)
I guess Alex Webb read my photobook online (I sent him link years ago! after workshop in 2018!)
His new book (I saw on his insta, looked similar to “TIMELESS” (or Magico Mexico! It’s same size! ) … I wonder what size is it (Alex’s dislocations … I just saw on the net so difficult to tell but …
then I remembered!
his other book (with his wife)
Waves (landscape photo , Wave! ) design is like the one I did for Magico Mexico!
like these pages! :)
、、、それで思い出したけど
Alex のランドスケープ(FUJIの中判カメラみたいな!)Waves!の海(横長に見開きデザインで、、「ランドスケープ」) アレ!も、、、けっこー私デザインの(、、、この本とか別の本!)
double-page spread!!!
( for landscapes ! I designed in 2018! for my photobook “Magico Mexico”!)
I cited “Basho” …(4 books fromWS 2018 Oaxaca recommendations)
それで、写真集の冒頭に引用して
写真集のページをスタートしよう!って思った^_^
The MOON
the last night meal from WS! , then I was at Zocalo, thinking … ah I really love this feeling! so difficult to go back HOME :)! ( to my friend’s house to sleep…!)
The SUN catcher
my hand ! the sun and reflection
at mi escuela :)!
many photos from “Manuel Alvarez Bravo” ! I really love that place in Oaxaca!
and take some photos of HEART! mangroves! New Caledonia!
I know it will be not SAME!
Change is part of Nature:)
I want to fly
and SEE with my eyes! (not drone age)
I will SEE with my OWN EYES and LIGHTS within ME!
like Yann did in 1992:)
I got postcard book from my husband in 2002 (We saw his exhibition in 2002 summer and he knew I really like Yann!!!)…more than 20 years ago…when I was living in Bristol.
Sometimes, it’s much quicker than “THINK” , just I’m “reading” ! (… difficult to explain! Most of the time, “like reading”kind of speed…? It was quite rare! …or depending on…which ONE?(almost reading (not writing) is… “xxxxxx(ここは内緒にしとこ!”…. and “2019/06/06 i phone memo, didn’t have “title”!ONE ” is not as quick as “xxxxxx” というか。
The music (of relaxmax’s “LIFE IS PARADISE” I was playing on SPOTIFY!)
…and I wrote “LIFE IS PARADISE” (about 10 songs from spotify or something?) …
till “hush up hush up (it wasn’t on my apotify list “suggestion from spotify, so I don’t remember the title of the song …but it was raggae! (I googled “lylic” on the net…) bit scary kind … so I didn’t put on my playlist (but words “HUSH UP HUSH UP” I choose to USE that words…
After there… it was not like “as spotify PLAY” kind of “WORDS” order (I mean I pick some words from LTLIC of each songs!)
偶然の!
、、、
で
完結(中編ぐらいの長さかな?)
はしているけど(2020/8/25!)
…then I finished writing on 2020/08/25
(面白いから
たまに「追加」している
、、、リストに
曲は増えてる
after that,
sometimes I choose to put some
MORE! words from rylics.”CITATION”s!
(まだ入れていない部分はアイディアはあって、、まだ書いていない部分^_^)
Some on list, but not Yet kind of songs on my life is paradise list…( when hacker is not attacking my words, I might !)
Let there be light. We are originally one light from the universe …
Flowers, butterflies, trees, and We human are all part of the universe. Everything We see reminds us that we’ve came from the light.
We find the god in the nature …it’s the reflection of the light within us.
Enjoy each moment and meditate with sacred light in mt.KURAMA with my photos.
I wish all souls are healed and awaken in the light with divine love. Remember the light within your heart!
These photos are from the series “ Light within” (http://relaxmaxontheroad.com/#lightwithin)
Photos as the medicine which allows you to expand self healing power…! Powerful Light energy from sacred mount KURAMA!
Note// In Kurama-dera they believe Sonten.
(Sonten is the “Living Soul of the universe”, the “Glorious Light”, and the”Activity of the Soul”)
Andrew Weatherall (r.i.p)にBobby (primal scream)、、Steve Bucknell lost にはたどり着けなかった…拾ったフライヤーはNinja TuneのBlue Noteのパーティ、それドラムンDJやってた友達にあげて、確か彼らは行った。(ロンドンからポストカードもらってそこに行って踊ったって報告もらった気がする笑!)
(Use auto translate , I wrote this in Japanese for now…)
Me in kimono ’96
Photo by Ikeno photo studio in Osaka
Portrait of ME 20 years old.
In Japan We have ritual called “SEIJIN SHIKI 成人式“
We dress up in Kimono (this Kimono my mam bought me when I was 15) and take portrait
I only wear this special KIMONO called FURISIDE 振袖(ふりそで) which means long sleeve kimono , 3times in my life(20 for seijin, 24 for my friend’s wedding , 41 for my selfie at Tenryuji coz I wanted to have special selfie)
FURISODE 振袖 is expensive special one,( so why don’t we Japanese wear Kimono that much or is it only me?)
How many times in my life, I would wear this FURISODE?
This year 2021, it’s difficult to get together (No成人式in some areas in Japan),
I wish someday They(new 20 boys and girls 新成人さんたち)could get together after CORONA world!
I wrote this short story in English in 2022(in Japanese 2000? Or…it’s not murakami’s Vanishing Elephant, so Panda is in China (not vanished …) in 2023.)
I wrote this after watching PANDA!(or I should say “HANAMI”!
In Kobe (OUJI zoo)…
Some panda went back to home(china)…pls find out more (you can google it… I saw about Japan(2), USA(1),France(1)…
I love PANDA
Panda for friendship:)!
Hope NEW panda is coming to JP again!
