 Because spring had come, Yumiko and I planted  herbs  in the garden.




My intimate model came.
We  talked about the next work.

 We visited an old buddhist temple in Nara Prefecture. The name of the temple is Chogaku-ji Temple.


Cherry blossoms began to scatter.




This is an elephant that made it from the imagination.

I took the souvenir picture in the garden on the day of the graduation of Tama. 


Yumiko attended friend's wedding.


Tama's birthday



We started taking a picture of a new work.

 I came to want to catch a Mekong large fresh-water catfish suddenly one month ago.
It was my dream 20 years ago.
However, I suddenly recalled it.
Tama and I have ben to Bangkok with the fishing rod.



We arrived at the pond.



I caught a Mekong large fresh-water catfish of 35 kilos.
Tama too.


We visited Old Town Ayutthaya in Thailand the next day.
The town destroyed 500 years ago.







and we relaxed peacefully at the hotel.

 Yumiko and I went to Toshodai-ji Temple in Nara Prefecture on the New Year's Day.


I visited to the Shinto shrine with Tama on the third.
Almost Japanese visits a shrine and Buddhist temple at the New Year.
Do you think it is mysterious?
There are eight million gods in Japan.
I think that one god believer doesn't understand about it.

 This day was my birthday of the 52nd times.



Models blest me.

 We retried to shoot one image that we had done two years.

 We retried to take a picture of the series that had been taken a picture in Feb.
These images are  all test shootings.
