I am alive!

I've been trying hard to figure out all the meanings of what I've got and what I already lost

I've been trying to find out which way I should  go

I try to escape sometimes

I  try to pretend sometimes

Thinking this world is full of pretending and lies

I've been trying hard to find something real

All other people look so shinny sometimes

Comparing is stupid

But we can't help wondering which life is better and worse

Photo Exhibition

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Hi!! I'm sorry I couldnt update my blog for a while. I have been busy at work and also preparing for my own photo exhibition!!! YES!

And finally, my first photo exhibition started yesterday at a bar in Shinjuku. The exhibiton is composed by 5 people from same English school and mine is the second. I am very ecxied to hold my own exhibition since I had never thought that this would actually happen. Also, I can't thank enough to Kumiko sensei who asked me to join this project, and to the owner of the bar!! Thank you so much!
I hope people will feel something seeing my pictures. So please come and see my pictures if you have time. The details on the website. Feel free to share the link! :)

こんにちは。しばらくの間更新できなくてすみません。新しい仕事を始めていそがしくしていました。そしてなんと、このたび自分の写真展を開かせていただけることになり、その用意に没頭していました。

そしてついに、昨日（7/2)無事に新宿のバーでの写真展をスタートさせることができました。写真展は英会話スクール繋がりで出会った、写真好きのメンバー５人で構成されており、私は二期目の展示です。自分の展示会ができるとは思ってもいなかったので、とてもワクワクしています。それからこのプロジェクトに誘ってくれたKumiko先生と、Count Zeroのマスターには感謝しきれません！ありがとうございます！＾＾
ということで、お時間がある方は是非見に来てください。私の写真を見た方が少しでも何か感じていただけたら幸いです。詳細はホームページをご覧ください。リンクシェアはご自由にどうぞ！
ps. ブログを英語と日本語両方で書くことにしました。いつまで続くかわかりませんが笑

Holga

I finally develped photos in my Holga and some of them turned out pretty good.  I wasn't really expecting acually since it was my first time. Also my Holga doesn't have flash so I had no idea how they would turn out. I need to explore more about this camera but I've got some favorites fortunately. Now I know a little bit why some people are so obbsessed about toy cameras. It actually is interesting to take pictures with Holga. It's exciting that I can't see the photos until they get developed like digital cameras too.

Sunny Day

I was asked to join this little photo exibition at a bar in Shinjuku in about a month, so I visited Design Festa Gallery in Harajuku to get inspired and motivated. The place has several rooms for exibition and many kinds of artists display thier works there. Although Harajuku was eerily crowded today, not so many people were at the gallery. Also, many of the rooms were not used and were empty. But still, it was worth visiting the place. Amateurs can rent a room and display thier works too so it might be interesting if I could put my pictures on the wall in one of the rooms.

I also had some chance to shoot my lovely friend today. Her smile is adorable so I wanted to express her brightness in pictures.

Different Sides of the World

Beautiful side of the world.

Fleeting side of the world.

Lovely side of the world.

Fragile side of the world.

I see it with my own eyes.

I feel every moment with my own body.

Yoyogi Park

 GROM Harajuku
http://www.grom.it/eng/index.php

Yesterday, I went to Yoyogi Park with my friend. There were lots of people sitting on the grass talking and drinking beer although it was Tuesday. Some flowers were already dying but the petals near the tree looked also beautiful. After we took some pictures there, I really felt like eating ice cream so we went to this nice little gelato shop near the station.

Night Sakura

 This is near my house. Every year, cherry blossom here blooms really beautifully. They look really nice especially at night. But I felt the lighting was darker than last year somehow..

I took this one right in front of my house. I thought the light looked like moon so I erased some part of pole and made it look more like moon. (obviously it looks unnatural though lol)
