capturing in prose
Sometimes we need to be crawling up an easy slope. Our daily life always has a difficult face and we aren’t aware of it.
He was just walking on a slope of huge pier but looked strange somehow probably because he was, of course, not a passenger of the Diamond Princess nor Asuka II. He was not a crew, neither. However he must be a crew of our planet. That’s a life.

Common children shall be naughty. It’s a sort of raisin d’être (reason to be) and I seemed to be a sort of their reason to play a joke especially during my overseas trips. Many years ago I was at a middle of a ski slope just under a chair lift. Holding a snowboard I was climbing a steep, actually gentle, hill in a winter resort of Canadian Rocky Mountains for my first experience of snowboarding. Yes, it was the first experience for me. When I looked up the sky to pause for catching breath, a small boy above me spoke to me from his chair
“Why don’t you take a lift? Good luck!”
Ok, thank you. I was a beginner and I didn’t come up with any smart thing to say in English. At least it was lucky for me that I didn’t find cheeky words, neither.

Calm but couldn’t say ordinary, peaceful and slightly noble somehow. Serene might be a difficult word to use for non native English speakers like me. Probably I could say serene weather instead of fine but it sounds me strange. I don’t say I can’t find any proper word in my mother tongue (“うららか” might be good translation). You know it is not always easy to understand translate words.
A bit dim room open to a bright backyard tells serene afternoon.

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.
