JOURNAL

EVERY TIME WE MAKE A WORK OF ART WE PUT A DOCUMENT OF IT HERE IN THIS JOURNAL FOR A JAPANESE DOCUMENTARIAN FILM MAKER SO THEY CAN MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THIS ARTIST IN THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE THEN WE CAN GO TO JAPAN, HOPEFULLY NOT SO LATE IN LIFE THAT IS A CRUEL IRONY. MOST PEOPLE BESIDES JAPANESE PEOPLE EVER GET TO GO TO JAPAN. WE UNDERSTAND, BUT WE GENUINELY WANT TO GO TO SEE THE COUNTRY AND OUR FRIEND NOBU.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. I like the colors and the fact that the subject is in the left hand third of the horizontal frame. I was holding the camera though, and as a result the horizon is tilted. Further there are places where the light pools too flat like how smeared paint looks. This is a result of using the iPhone camera function where you can see what you are taking a picture of while you’re taking a picture of it. Future photos will come out better if taken whenever possible with a DSLR camera on a tripod. Furthermore, it will be interesting to see if the subject not being able to see the photographer looking at the subject, will yield a less puckered and self conscious visage.
