On the wonder of photography
On an impulse, I got a puppy. And just like that, those morning walks I had been meaning to take in Kinuta Park became a daily event.
The wonderful feeling of walking barefoot in the grass. Then, one day, I noticed some vibrant red newcomers. Cute and carefree, like kindergarteners at play, they charmed Lala, my puppy, and me for an entire week. (Kinuta Park, Setagaya, Tokyo, May 2007)
