Kinds of waits
We often wait for someone even before realizing.
The wait has no definite end.
Nevertheless, we just repeat waiting.
Someone waits for the people who wait for someone else.
Since the wait is limitless, we look forward to the wait.
Once the wait comes to an end, we end up waiting for someone again.

about the photographer
I shoot with a film camera (not for any particular reason, but because I happened to receive a film camera as a keepsake). I understand that a so-called “good” photograph often embodies a harmonious interplay of perfect light, shadow, composition, and so on. The world is filled with breathtaking images and razor-sharp clarity (but those rarely capture my heart). I'm captivated by the unconventional: compositions that defy norms, light landing not on the subject but in unexpected corners. I may never receive the validation I desire—but perhaps it’s precisely that imperfection that draws me in even more. Unintended light and color, fleeting, serendipitous moments. Regrets and mistakes—these resonate more deeply with my life’s cadence. A cascade of failures and setbacks—maybe the world isn’t as beautiful as we once expected. Yet in those imperfect moments, there lies a kind of story. With each frame I capture, I hold a personal hope—that one day, someone may perceive it as a narrative in their mind. I yearn for my photographs to spark someone's imagination. I intend to take as many photographs as I can before I die (because after that, I won’t be able to take any more). In the end, perhaps all that remains, somewhere, are the photographs.back to gallery
