Short statement
The beauty of every moment is unique and cannot be repeated.
I believe that what is shown can be captured.
Things which exclaim awaken from the darkness.
Stories of ancient times rings from the eternal tree;
Joyful songs of living things that flutter amongst the sunlight…
It is my mission to capture the unique beauty of the moment and make it eternal.
