Fine art prints
Through the years, my photography was drawn to abstraction within nature. My eye is attracted to patterns and textures that create their own unique designs regardless of their source or the subject they represent. Using black and white film, the elimination of colour draws more attention to pattern and texture. Monochrome also tends to introduce mood or emotion into the image. The close ups of trees and weathered cliffs in the Bark and Eroded Rocks series are good examples. My work has also expanded into broader landscapes, religious artifacts and architecture.
In recent years, following my transition to digital, colour came in. With a digital camera, I have rarely been able to sense an improvement in an image by converting it to black and white. On the contrary, it mostly feels like a loss. Now I have colour portfolios in my gallery : Mount Ariake, Autumn Rice

モノクローム
長年の写真家としての経験を通し、私の興味は次第に自然に存在する抽象的な物、主に独自のユニークなデザインから成る模様、柄、特質等に絞られていきました。それらが特定の被写体であるという事はそれ
程重要ではありません。
私が白黒フィルムにこだわる幾つかの理由として、イメージから色が完全に削除される事で模様
自体の特質がより強調される、白黒写真はカラー写真よりイメージから来る雰囲気や感情の豊かさを容易に表現できる、そして鑑賞する者を深みに導き想像力を倍増させるのではないかと感じるからです。
