Sometime in July 2002, at Shijoohashi, Kyoto, Japan
Voigtlander Bessa R2 + Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f2.5 C-Type + Fijifilm NEOPAN SS




I was such a stupid person.
I was thinking that my motivation was given by boss (assign new project, promotion, etc&#8230;).
The motivation is, only in my mind, not be given by anybody.
Just go forward by myself.

Sometime in February 2002, at Kitami, Hokkaido, Japan
Nikon New FM2 + Ai Nikkor 50mm F1.4S




We can live without aim/hope or something motivated things.
But those lives are not interesting.
I think everybody wants to archive something in one&#8217;s life.
What aim for ?
What is my future view ?
I have to figure out what I really want to be.

<p>Is this same Autumn in your town ?<br />
In Tokyo, No. Too warm weather everyday and still I don&#8217;t need to wear knit and coat. So strange.<br />
Usually I put up with chilly weather only with sweater/knit and wool jacket till the end of November then start to wear coat from December.<br />
But, this year, I don&#8217;t need to struggle with the weather and still I feel strong sun beam in daytime. So strange.</p>
<p>Do you do something good things for stopping the climate change in your daily life ?</p>

Just would like to share my thoughts with people in all over the world and find different ways of thinking, not with only Japanese.</p>
<p>I believe I can tell something even with my poor vocabulary.</p>

<p>I have breast cancer and just finished chemo therapy 10 days ago. I don&#8217;t think the cancer is gone but I&#8217;m getting better and better so far (from the side effects).<br />
I heard many people who have cancer depressed, felt so sad, or said &#8220;why me ?&#8221;, etc, etc &#8230;.<br />
But somehow I&#8217;ve never felt like that. Just this is my life.<br />
I don&#8217;t wanna waste time just complaining, and those thinkings make myself into bad conditions.</p>
<p>So, just trying to be honest myself and will do something what I wanna do.</p>

<p>They don&#8217;t look like to try to think about someone&#8217;s background or skills and just try to talk with only their way of thinking.<br />
I think the best way of communication is trying to think about other people&#8217;s situations so that people can find the best words for communications.<br />
So, the most foolish people are people always comlainining. I think.</p>
