I shoot large-format, 4x5 color images using a standard lens - this gives the viewer a more natural, “Looking out the window” sort of experience. I want the viewer to feel present, not viewing a photo on the wall of a gallery.  

Many images have been shot where I live; in my yard, or along roads I drive. Not to diminish my greatest feeling of being “home” while shooting temples and shrines in Kyoto, I just believe that Nature, whether next to a road, or a small plot of land in a city, is sacred. This is what I want to convey to the viewer.
