Shimmering light. Voices of girls. Colors and shapes of trees and flowers.
Silhouettes that shadows create.
You turn the lens to what you respond to and photograph them every day.
Those photographs you keep taking let you touch your consciousness and unconsciousness, as if you were picking up memories or scooping up sensations.
It is often only when you see the actual photographs that you understand why you unconsciously wanted to photograph them.
In fact, when you are taking a picture, you see only a part of the scene in front of you.
Unlike mechanical lenses that capture everything sharply, the human eye only perceives clearly what you intend to see.
Therefore, your photographs can show you what you were reacting to beyond your conscious intentions at the time of shooting.
As you continue to photograph your daily life, you can capture the rhythms and tones of life that you may only see at the edge of your eye without being conscious of it.
Although they may seem monotonous, you find subtle intonations, physical changes of light with the seasons, and the flow of time in your photographs.
That is what photographs record, an expression of the "daily life" that only the person who attempts to capture it can manifest.
This is one form of expression that only the medium of photography can offer.
