Highlights from 2023
It’s been a fantastic year taking photos in SF, LA, NYC, Japan, the UK and India. It was also my first year participating in SF Open Studio and creating my first photozine, Nothing with a Name. Looking back at these selected photos, it’s hard to believe it was just a year. Time passes differently for me when I’m out capturing the things that I find interesting.
My 2023 SF Open Studios Experience
I’ve been photographing pretty steadily and exploring being an art photographer for the last 3 years. It had been about 30 years since I showed any kind of art since my 20s in Osaka doing installation art. With this year’s SF Open Studios, I thought it made sense to finally show my printed work and share it in my living room, converted into a gallery for the weekend...

Photo Book: Nothing with a Name
'Nothing with a Name' is my first photo zine. This photo project was my investigation into capturing only things that do not have obvious names. Evolving from a series of photos taken in my home city San Francisco as well as New York and Tokyo, my goal was to photograph without using verbal language in order to get to the essence of seeing itself. In other words, I have attempted to be free of the name of the thing he was seeing. All of the photos were captured on film with 35mm and medium format cameras.
