Hello Goodbye





Commercial work for Narita!
It's mee! kissing...!

初めてカメラの前でのキスシーンです。ドキドキした!
皆さんの表情がとても自然に取れててすてきです。

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around. "




僕は憂鬱な気分におちいった時はいつも、
ヒースロー空港の到着ゲートのことを考えることにしている。
世間は僕達が、憎しみに満ちた醜い世界に住んでいるように言うけれど、
僕はそうは思わない。
世界は愛で満ちている。
それはとりたてて取上げられるわけでも、報道されるわけでもないけれども、
いつもそこにある。
父と息子、母と娘、夫と妻、ボーイフレンド、ガールフレンド、古い友人達・・・

世界貿易センターでテロが起こったとき、
機上の人々からかかった電話は憎しみや復讐のメッセージなんかじゃなかった。
それらはみんな、愛のメッセージだった。
だから、もし君が愛を求めるのなら、僕はきっとこう言うだろう。
世界は愛で満ちているんだよ、って。



-Love Actually

いつもこころにあおぞらを。

One of my friend just went through surgery-- I've never met someone as strong as her


Something I got for her.
A journal by Ayumu Takahashi--
It is filled with photography and inspiring words.























 

サキはすごく強い
病気の彼女から私はパワーをもらう


Surfer Girl

Went to the beach again for Fine magazine



Shaula and I in front of the bar we shot at.
This girl has her own radio station, DJs at events, and Surfs.
How attractive can she get..?!

This bartender is amazing too.
People who can pull off the shaved head look are truly beautiful.
She surfs and also makes surreal paintings (you can see them at her bar)
 I would love to come back here again

Fraaannnny

my friend she is an artist






Her first solo show in Tokyo
most of her work is done by acrylic on canvas but recently she's been painting on plain paper with water color and ink. 
The change in medium gives a fresh look to her style and felt really appropriate to the kind of gallery it was shown at 
also in Tokyo's hot weather. 


友達のフランセスのギャラリーに行きました
とてもすてきでした!
