Thank you to everyone who came to Slide & Talk session at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography on last Saturday.

There were around 100 people came which is much more than we expected.

It was an interesting experience to talk about my works in front of audience since I don’t have such occasion normally. I appreciate Mr. Mada and Mr. Kishitsu of Asahi Shimbun newspaper, Ms.Niwa and Tanaka of the museum and Ms. Kataoka of Newsweek Japan who offered me such an opportunity to show and talk about my stories, also Mr. Aida and Mr. Yamaguchi who showed their works along with me.
