capturing in prose
There’s no such difference as it first seems. We share our planet and it’s a tiny world like small bees know what is a flower. We are aware of it and just we tend to see small differences.
思うほど違いがあるわけでもない。我々はこの惑星を分け合っていて、小さな蜂がそれを花とわかるほど世界はちっぽけだ。我々はそれを認識していて、ただ少しばかりの違いを見がちなだけなのだ。

I could say it’s well-managed chaos we live in. A big city always has many functions to serve everything the citizens need and is sinking in chaos as a result. The City of Yokohama is not an exception. You may find complex roads, office buildings, shopping malls and an amusement park. It’s a wonderful view, isn’t it?
When you walk around the opposite side, you may see another face of this area as seen in the picture at bottom. Traditional red-bricked warehouses, which are reused as a shopping mall, looks small in front of a huge cruise ship.
都市とは何ともはやよく管理された混沌である。複雑な道路網もオフィス街もショッピングモールも遊園地も全て住む人々の要求に応えるように準備され、やがて混沌へと沈みゆく。反対側を見れば大型船から見下ろすように古い倉庫が近代的なショッピングモールとして生きながらえる。街とはそんな混沌である。

My theme of photography is always nature and occasionally cityscape not because I’m misanthrope but it’s a somehow accidental result. Today I learned a new word “transmogrified” which is interestingly defined as “to transform someone casting a spell” in my English-Japanese dictionary. Though it sounds slightly different from other explanations on the web, anyway I’ve found that I had no pictures taken with literally “transmogrified” theme by my dictionary.
As some of readers know, it’s the right time to visit Shibuya to take pictures of transmogrified people. It would be fun and crazy. Fortunately (yes, fortunate) I have no plans to do this weekend and I’m thinking how to capture autumn time. I hope you find transmogrified nature here.
Oh, please don’t misunderstand me. I am NOT a misanthropist.
この単語(transmogrify)は初めて知ったが、辞書によればどうやら魔法にかけて変身させることらしい。魔法にかけてという部分は甚だあやしいが、そんな意味で使われることが多いのだろう。季節がら、特に渋谷あたりにはぴったりなテーマだが、もちろんそんな写真は得意ではない。

It’s a bit far from a harvesting autumn. Overcast days seem to be back.
Pictures were taken in a partially sunny weekend.
Finding a “Komore-bi (木漏れ日)” is my pleasure when I troll into a forest. Komore-bi is one of the most difficult words to translate in my favorites. It means the sunlight filtering through the trees but it includes a meaning of droplets. In other words, it could be droplets of sunlight falling down from a gap of leaves.
