Sense of distance between the camera and the subject through the lens, the judgment of what that moment, for me, is the most important task. If I make a wrong decision, not only the subject, I would undermine the nature of space-time around it.
New YorkーNow, what should I take? If I am, do I keep a sense of what distance?
However, at the end of the day, as long as I do not try a visit to the space actually, and, unless I take everything with a sixth sense and the senses of myself, unless through the lens In fact, it is, nobody know yet.
It is, maybe someone already has been decided on.
レンズを通した被写体との距離感、その一瞬一瞬の判断こそ、僕にとっては最も重要な作業だ。判断を誤れば、被写体ばかりか、それを取り巻く時空の性質を損ねてしまう。
ニューヨーク ーさて、僕は、どう撮るべきか、僕なら、どんな距離感を保てるのか。
しかし、結局のところ、それは、実際にその空間に足を運んでみない限り、自らの五感と第六感で全てを受け止めてみない限り、そして、実際にレンズを通さない限り、分からない。
もしかしたら、それは、既に何者かに決められているのかもしれない。

Two years have passed too soon from that catastrophe. And now, I think again. I must live cherish the moment more than ever, towards my dream, never give up until the end, as long as there is this life, for many people who lost their precious lives that day.
あの大災害から早くも二年が過ぎようとしている。そして、今、改めて思う。あの日尊い命を失った多くの方々の為に、この命ある限り、最後まで諦めず、自分の夢に向かって、今まで以上に一瞬一瞬を大切に生きなければならない、と。

New York is ‘The Contemporary Art’ itself.
So, for surviving there, regardless of how to show a plane with conventional, also, in order to combine and entertainment value of some kind in the future, three-dimensional works that take advantage of the characteristics of the art of photography which I produce, or video media that combines music and I believe, must be produced.
And now, looking for the most suitable tools and techniques to do so.
ニューヨークは現代アートそのものである。
故に、そこで生き残る為には、従来ある平面的な見せ方に拘らず、又、将来的にある種のエンターテイメント性を兼ね備える目的で、私が作り出す写真芸術の特性を生かした立体作品、或は、音楽と融合させた映像メディアを製作しなくてはならない、と考えている。
そして、今、その為に最適な道具と技術を探している。

Decipher the trends of contemporary art world, the art direction of my aim whether correct, in order not to end in mere self-satisfaction, I must always check for the standing position.
However, for the true artist, now, a work, whether or not sold, or famous or anonymous, it does not matter at all. Whether or not the line of sight to 100 years, or, works that survive until 100 years after my death, it is important to me, whether or not to make while I’m alive.
From the viewpoint of those, even in my case, everything is still missing.
単なる自己満足で終わらせない為には、世界の現代アートの潮流を読み解き、自分の目指す芸術の方向性が正しいのかどうか、立ち位置について常に確認しなくてはならない。
しかし、芸術家にとって、今、作品が売れているかどうか、又は、有名か、無名かは、全く関係のない事柄だ。つまりは、100年先を見通せるか否か、或は、死後100年先まで生き残れる作品が、生きている間に作れるか否か、が重要なのだ。
そういった観点から、僕の場合も、あらゆる事がまだ不足している。

On 2011, my works have been ever featured in a web magazine in NY.
On 2012, only at a moment but they’ve been displayed at NY broadway.
And, this year on 2013, my representative works with frames themselves, at the first time, will directly reach to NYC across the pacific ocean.
So, I love NYC for all true contemporary artists!!
And, I believe ‘American Dream’ for all of them!!!!
