My Japanese Collections - Nature

I started this collection when I was little, with photographs of birds, trees, mountains. Here I focus on parks, flowers and rivers. There are green spaces everywhere; and, in the spring, apart from the sakura (cherry blossoms), well there are flowers everywhere, from the pots outside grandmothers’ houses to the embankments by the rivers.

My Japanese Collections - StreetArt

I’ve always liked collecting and sorting things. I started collecting stamps from a very young age and spent whole afternoons sorting them by country, theme, etc. Then I did the same with postcards, books, porcelain dogs, magazines, and so on. By the way, speaking of collections, I recommend this book ‘The Hare with Amber Eyes’ by Edmund de Waal.

With photos I do exactly the same thing: I classify them geographically and by subject. I tag them with keywords so I can find them quickly. And maybe later they can be turned into books or calendars. These are my most outstanding collections, which I will be publishing from now on every fortnight.



StreetArt


StreetArt is what I baptised the artistic expressions, so to speak, that are on the street, in plain sight. I started in Barcelona with graffiti on Carrer dels Mirallers, in the Ribera district. When I arrived in Tokyo I found that there was very little graffiti. Then I discovered that there was another kind of street art. Judge for yourselves.

Noren

Noren are curtains that are hung in doorways. There are all kinds of styles, colours, sizes and tastes. Photographing them has become a habit. They always have their charm; they’re brand new, or they’ve been ripped to shreds, for their modern or traditional design, for the type of fabric, for how they move in the wind… If you’d like to know more, please click here.

Sakura in Naka-Meguro (1st part: nature)

, ,

One more year the cherry trees have blossomed ……

And they have done so with great force, generating the festive atmosphere that is being lived these days around the Meguro River.

And creating, as every year, images of great visual beauty.

And not only in color, but also in black and white.
