Statement
|
I consider myself a citizen of the world, one of many, hurtling through vast spaces, on this tiny blue miracle we call earth. I see the many aspects of the phenomenal world as a reflections of a living force at work in an evolving universe we are all privileged to be an integral part of. To me, photography is an essential tool to help find about myself and to fulfill my life.
私は地球というこの青い小さな奇跡の星の上で、広大な空間を駆け抜ける地球市民の一人であると考える。 そして、現象の世界は、私たちがその一部である宇宙に働く 「生の力」 の表れであると考える。 私にとってフォトグラフィーは与えられた命を大切に生きるための道しるべである。 |
