Farewell Ichikawa, Japan, Till April
I walked those Ichikawa streets for the last time for a few months today. The sun’s rays were growing long, and the light was just perfect. Sometimes, I just see, and observe how quickly the light changes around this time of day.
It is around that time of day, that a few minutes, even a few seconds can make the difference between the most amazing light and just in the shadows. I love watching those changes. Light, and seeing light has become integral part of what makes up life.
I wonder to myself, how can people just walk by with out seeing how amazing the light is. I know other photographers know what I am talking about. Golden, yellow, orange, white, they are all there. All one has to do is pause and just open your heart, and see what is happening all around you.
So, for now, I bid a sweet farewell to Ichikawa. Goodbye! Take care! I will walk your streets again come April.
