What am I?

Last Sunday was a good day.

A bunch of my fellow photograph lovers and I went out to town for shooting.

I enjoyed pointing my cameras at them and it was fun having a few cameras pointed at me.

Being a subject of someone's photography is a good experience.

I should be able to understand what it feels like to be photographed as well as what it feels like to photograph someone.

I tried my best not to disappoint the photographers as I didn't want to waste any of their films.

When this guy started taking my photos, I begun to feel restless.

I wasn't sure if he got what he wanted.

I didn't know if I was what he expected me to be.

I just couldn't stop but wonder what he saw in me.

Then I had to try and see what I see in myself so I looked for a mirror and took a self-portrait.

I think I needed to feel that I hadn't changed much since 8 months ago.

My hair is shorter, but I am pretty much the same inside.

Some people seem to like to put a new label on me and I probably do have a new aspect of myself now but I just want to stay as Yuna the photo/hip-hop/movies/fun lover.

Side face

Nothing looks hotter than a woman's side face when changing film.

写真ってとても個人的なものだと思う。

ポートレートは特に。

撮る人と撮られる人、一対一の親密かつ緊密な瞬間を写真に収めるのが、ポートレートかなーと漠然と考えている。

個人的なものとはいえ、人に見てもらう以上、見る人に何かを感じてもらいたいし、感じさせる写真でなければ、公開する意味がない気がする。

人の眼を意識するということは大切。自己満足の独りよがりはかっちょわるい。

良いか悪いかの評価より、好きか嫌いかの感想を求めたいところだけれどもね。

Rust....

Old and New.

Dying and Living.

Dirty and Beauty.

East and West.

Rainy Sunday

Usually it is such a pain in the ass to go out in the pouring rain with two heavy cameras around your neck, holding an umbrella in one hand and a bag in the other hand, only to wait for a friend who shows up almost an hour late for the meeting time.

Looking at her photos, I think it was worth the hassle for me, though.
