Maretsugu Photography

I am a photographer living in Okinawa. And I love culture, nature, flowers, colors, winds in Okinawa. I express something that makes it beautiful in the strong light of Okinawa.

大判写真のフレーム作り.まずは小さいサイズで作成.いい感じでできましたが,角度をつけて木材を切るのは難易度が高いです.

上下のみの貼り付けではサイドの紙が平らにならないので左右も貼り付けられるようにしました.

今回のサイズはA3用紙を使用しました.

あと一つ横位置で作成した後A0サイズに挑戦です.

I had run out of coffee since last month, so I bought some. A place that smells like coffee feels cozy. I'm not sure about the ``Mandarin'' flavor recommended by the store manager, but I'm sure it's a coffee with a nice aroma. With a good smile, you can find good things.

For me, this place is a place where the people, buildings, and everything else doesn't smell like Okinawa.However, although this is a new Okinawan landscape, the color of the sky, the color of the sea, and the air still smell like Okinawa.

I'll be busy at the end of the year, so I'll go out for a photo shoot now.

It's been a long time since I saw someone wearing a Kuba umbrella. And it was on the beach in front of Urasoe Parco. Kuba umbrella for Harsa (farmer). I heard that umbrellas for uminchu (fishermen) are made with narrower openings. I remember hearing that the wind is strong on the sea, so they should be made deep and narrow.Over 20 years ago, I had Kuba umbrellas made in Hateruma for mariners.I also heard that it is good to soak them in seawater from time to time.When taking photos. Since it was not suitable for use, it is now used as a wall decoration, but the person who made it for me was quite old at the time. I don't know if it's still possible to get one, but I thought I'd do a little research on Kuba umbrellas. ​

I saw someone throwing a pebble into the sea. The person was throwing the ball over and over again with clumsy movements, as if he wasn't used to it. I think the heart of a person who can bear it alone and without telling anyone will become that much stronger.

来月の撮影のため那覇の街中を3時間ほど歩いたら膝が痛くなった.幸い自転車を乗る時は痛みを感じませんが階段を上り下りすると怖い.特に降りる時痛みで階段から落ちないかなと.やはり少し筋トレした方がいいかなぁ.

It's been a while since I went to a nearby taco shop to get taco rice and tacos at a different lunch time so I didn't have to wait.

When you're hungry, even a short wait can be deadly.

The photo is of a bakery along the way.I want to say, "I get it!"

The sunsets this season are especially beautiful. I never get tired of watching it. After taking this photo, as I was getting ready to go home, I was approached by a jogger. Apparently, he wanted to take a photo of the green flash. I explained that it is quite difficult because the sun sets behind you.It is difficult to see the green flash unless the weather conditions are very good to see the green flash, where the sun does not set on the horizon unless you are from Chatan or Yomitan.The green flash also exchanges words with strangers. I think it's almost a miracle as well.

My PhotoBook has arrived.When I visited an exhibition, the topic of Paris came up, so I looked for the PhotoBook I had previously created (more than 10 years ago), but I couldn't find it.I had no choice, so I created a new one.The memories inside the PhotoBook never fades.

I had a great time. I rode my bicycle and went to the sea to take pictures. There was a slight breeze at the sea today, and the weather was pleasant.

I've been feeling bad for a long time. I wonder why people take up arms instead of joining hands. I think that holding hands brings peace of mind to both the person and those around them.

The corpse of a yagara lying on the sandy beach at sunset. Only the bones remained, as clean as a bone specimen. I don't know why it's like this The sun was setting as if a hawk beckoned me to the underworld.

Has a bicycle been parked in this location for some time? It has not been stolen, and has withstood the rain and wind, just waiting for its owner. Machines have no life, but when they start to rust or the paint fades, they look like friends abandoned by their owners.
