What is your favorite technique?

So far, technique is not so interesting for me.   More important thing is catching the Decisive Moments.   Expressing subjects humanity feelings.

Best shot is my next shot.  I’m not satisfied in any way to my own photos.  I should take the better picture.  I repeat it every day.

What is your relationship with the street and the people who are in your shots?

The street and the people,this is the environment in which my life.  I like very much music,Punk Rock,Free Jazz,Avant garde,and more.  These are expression of humanity scream and beats and speeds.    I would like to express these things to my photos.  This is my goal.

You take photos into the streets of Japan, how react the subjects of your shots? Are nervous, they are complicit or indifferent?

Sometimes people smile sometimes people angry.  Kind of two ways there is an human.  I would like to be always open mind to other people though it is very difficult.
