Japanese maple would be one of the most cheerful tree in autumn. A lot of people go out to enjoy autumn colored leaves and occasionally have a lunch under the tree when it is warm. However, it might be an exceptional year in 2017 because many leaves were damaged by two category-4 typhoons and one tropical storm in September and October. The leaves were beautiful light green in April and are changing to orange now in November.

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson said. It must surely be true but not so easy. Everyday life always gives us ideal ease. However you don’t need to think it rigidly in case photography. It is easy to release the shutter.

A backlight photo would be a common technique for capturing colored autumn leaves but, honestly saying, it was an experimental shot for me. What I wanted to take was ‘cold’ air. Probably it might be hard to share how Yokohama’s autumn or winter is in case you’ve never been. I hope it went well.

Someone temporary put dried flowers on a bicycle and it became an art suddenly. When I find an unintended beauty, I always take a picture of it. It is usually a sort of temporary thing and you would miss it once you leave there.

偶然のアートを見つけるとつい写真を撮ってしまうのは、それがその瞬間だけのものだから。

When you are forbidden to do something and you think the it’s not reasonable, it must be quite natural to have a desire to break the rules. The first time I learned the word ‘peek’ was – as you know English is not my mother tongue – indeed such a situation. No! I wasn’t peeking in someone’s private life. I was digging inside a micro computer using a high level programming language called Pascal. The operator PEEK meant retrieving data stored in a memory. It sounded so strange for me because its antonym was POKE which operated as writing data.
Back to my picture at the top. The round window is for seeing outside of the tight cabin. Nobody peeks in, probably.
