let me photograph you softly そっと撮らせて
i've been taken street photographs for many years.
about year 2000 i've been taken pictures very hard because i want to be a professional photographer.
i used a contax camera which had auto-focus.
because i wanted to release a shutter quite fast before people in front of me didn't move.
i took lot's of images.
but i couldn't be a professional photographer.
few years ago when i saw my works again i had a inspiration!
i have to continue to take pictures like these.
this time using a rolleiflex and taking pictures softly or secretly to capture people not to be conscious of me and my camera.
i began my project again.
i think i'ts quite beautiful people as they are or lost in their world.
i watch people softly and secretly as watching wildlife.
i want to be an invisible man or an angel of "Wings of Desire" by Wim Wenders if i could.
i'll take pictures on the street from now on.
