"茶屋町 - 裏通り"  Jan 22, 2006

この場所から先には忘れ去られた報われないモノたちが存在する。
蔦に絡まれた長屋、割られたガラス、錆付いて横倒れにされた自転車、雨で腐った雑巾、そして普通の人が感じない空気。
フィルムの可能性を試す為に、自分の霊気を信じて僕はここから真っ直ぐに歩いてみた。

忘れられた人々は、忘れられたい男を見つめ、忘れ去られる哀しみを問いかけてきた。
小さな傘を脇に挟み、少しだけ手を合わせて、若者溢れる賑やかな表通りへ出たのだが、
怖くはなかった。

this is a great image. I love the contrast between the new coffee machine and the weathered old sidewalk and building. Great work!
