Moving on

Everything has been so different from how it was 4 days ago.

We have already had too much of tragedy but it's still going on

in the North eastern Japan.

Here in Hiroshima we were just lucky. We weren't affected by the earthquake.

But this tragedy has stuck in my heart so deep and would never go away.

The scenes of the tsunamis surging to the cities and devouring everything

just in a flash were nothing but the actual hell.

Day by day, the numbers of casualties are updated and so far

over 7000 people  were reported dead and what's more, over 20,000 were

still unknown.

The people in the stricken areas are still suffering and are frighten

of the disaster.

With all this tragedy I saw and heard here, all I could have done

for them was donating. But even if I have done this, I am not sure

when they can have supports with it.

Feeling myself worried and sad...and even guilty to have this normal life here,

I feel like we have to stop what we are doing now to pray for them.

But I don't think it is a right thing.

I think all we have to do is to work hard and live our lives for the

Japanese future.

We have to move on.


During this tragedy only thing I am happy with is so many prayers from all over the world.

Here I wanna say "THANK YOU !!" to all of you.

かの国へ行くことが決まった。

ずっと夢見ていたあの国へ・・・

張り巡らされた網の目は、

いとも簡単に世界を繋ぐようで

世界はだんだんと狭くなるようで・・・

でも、

この目で確かめてみたい

やっぱり世界は広かったと・・・

A story brought by a photo

Photo by Asuka

Life is full of excitement.

Sometimes we get something amazing happened without any notice
in our daily lives.
And at that moment, we realize how wonderful life is.

This is a story about my friend and a man living in Russia
who have never met each other but are bound firmly by one thing.

Photographic it is.

About 10 years ago from now...
My friend, Asuka  was into taking photos with her
film-based  camera when she was young. But once she got
busy with her life and  stuff, her passion of photographic had
been kind of away and her busy life just passed by
remaining somewhere inside her with a little flame of desire.

In these couple of years she has been getting interested in the
beautiful scenery of the Arctic for some reason. And one day, when
she was surfing on the internet,a beautiful picture of Northern light
just caught her eyes and she was totally moved by it. And that was
the moment that she took back her desire and decided to take
another chance to have it in her life again.
It was the photo taken by the Russian man who I have mentioned.
A year and a half ago from now.

First thing that she did was to buy a new digital SLR camera and
started to take a lot of pictures. It was not so easy for her to
go out carrying a heavy camera while taking her little son with
her.
However her desire was strong enough to beat those excuses.
She also started to study  Russian only for the  reason to
step on the land of Russia someday and take pictures there.

From what I've seen of her photos, I realized that they gradually got
better and better. She kept putting those photos on the internet site
"Panoramio" in which the Russian man was also uploading his.
I don't know if he was also looking at Asuka's photos on the site
at that time or not, the photos which he had been updating were
always giving her so much energy.
The truth is that she once told me that she was inspired the most
with "Atmosphere" of his photos than any other photos taken by
anyone else in the world.

The most amazing moment suddenly came up to her in Autumn
last year. The Russian man sent her a greeting message because
he realized that Asuka had voted a lot of his photos as her favorites.
And since then, they started to contact each other  and they
still do so often. His name is Andrey, a talented and very nice young man.
Asuka sometimes shares with me about his photos and things
and I myself feel very warmed all the time.

Well, you might think this is some kind of a romantic relationship
between them but it's not. It is another firm relationship bound
with photos.

I believe that they will meet each other in their real lives some day
and become forever friends...
