□Why street? I was impressed by the photography I saw in 70s photo book in japan. For example, Keizo Kitajima, Seiji Kurata and so on. And I throught if other people were able to take good pictures on the street 70s, why couldn't I now. I entered the Osaka visial arts college in 1995, everyday I walked on the streets with a camera in my hand.
