What is the past and the future  It's a vague thing that changes at the same time. Facts and time do not change, but the past is constantly changing in memory. Your current state determines the past. Whenever I look at the pictures I took in the past, I always remember something different. That's what a photo is. Keeping that story in mind ... This is my first personal photo exhibition. At the end of the summer of 2019, painter "lee izumida" held a solo exhibition in Niigata. I was able to help from the preparatory stage, and there was a sense of fulfillment that came from the bottom of my stomach that I couldn't say anything about while doing other things. I had a job in between helping out with my solo exhibition, and when I was driving through the highway, I had an intuition to do my own photo exhibition.  

All the works produced this time  This is a picture taken with "Leica M3" and "SUMMICRON 50mm". In the surf culture I'm chasing, the film camera boom was happening ahead of Japan. Creative surfers from California and Australia all took pictures with a "Leica" throat film camera and presented great photos. I longed for it. I was a little hungry for the trend of the world to make corrections by taking pictures with a digital camera and processing them like a film. Such photographs are like gluten (wheat protein) and casein (milk protein), where the creator's actions are overflowing from the photographs and yelling "Look at me !!" and "Look at me !!" I felt like "the intestines do not absorb". But you only have to take a film photo. It just holds. Clint Eastwood said in the affair movie "The Bridges of Madison County" that he watched when he was young, "Photographs take light." I felt that it was all right.  

The selection of this photo is  I choose photos that make me feel good when I decorate the room as much as possible. I was allowed to cover a number of homes at work (nearly 100 !!), and I had an early arrival. No matter how nice the house is, it's hard to complete the space without the pictures, pictures, and foliage plants that I went to. Rather, no matter how simple the room is, the space is completed with just nice pictures, pictures, and foliage plants. I decided to sell all the exhibited works, hoping to help create such a room. The story goes awry, but I got another one early by interviewing the room. It's now possible to relax wherever you go. I'm no longer reluctant to stay at the house of the person I met for the first time. The ability to order space has been added.  

The photos to be exhibited are not paper  All are printed on wood panels in a special way. By doing so, a unique painting-like texture appears. We asked frame builder "THROW IN" to develop a new frame from the frame, and tried and errored so that the wood panel would fit in the forehead obediently. The sheets around the photo were also made of wood, making it a unique work that was completely finished with wood without using any paper. Thanks to you, the content of the photograph is not comparable to the masters, but it is a satisfactory work as a framed photograph work. In addition, we asked Tagami's "Hygge plant shop" to decorate the space with foliage plants. We are planning to exhibit many photographs of California and Australia, so we will ask them to help them to move their mood from east to south with the power of foliage plants. Plants from the "Hygge plant shop" will also be on sale during the exhibition. Please look forward to it.
