10 years ago my friend took the first mental picture of me in tokyo.
he told me not to move for 10 seconds.
i still remember really well how he photographed me.
at some moments it feels so magical and we want it to last and stay the same forever.

i photographed this image in new orleans.
but i have other beautiful moments still printed in my head.
i decided not to forget them.

our mind can vividly capture an image and archive it.
and probably a sound as well.
you can mix and master it.

i am not sorry that i don’t have them on films or tapes.
mmmmm, maybe a little bit.

katie and her boy friend shawn live together and when i took this photo, they made a fresh vegetable juice with kale and some other deep green and orange stuffs. i dreamed about the juicer for a long time and forgot about it for a while. and now i want it but i can wait till i find my real home. they make really awesome music together, called further reductions.

my best friend yuko and james moved in together 2 months ago and james made a kotatsu, a japanese short table with a heater underneath of the table top. you put a blanket around it like…. a tent, maybe? you sit on the floor and put your legs in that blanket.  hard to describe. you can take a nap in that and imagine you watch TV from there.
just imagine.
it is cozy.

yes i dream about my home. i have been moving around so many different places and now waiting for a fancy affordable housing place takes me down by the east river. then i can invite you and cook for you and we drink a little bit of red wine.
they selected me a half way and i am just waiting. waiting is not fan. but keeping a hope is kind of nice.

summer, i think of you all the time when i ride a bike. how can i look cool still on my bike in this weather with a running nose?
