――Why am I taking pictures?

A photo for me,
Words to interact with people and the world.

The picture is to breathe.
Honestly, why did you take that moment?
There are things I can't explain or even remember.

But every moment will surely be
I think it was “good” to me.

It is both absolute and relative.
It is both universal and personal.

 

――Excerpted from the words of Shimamura Kichijomaru
