Message from the photographer

Mako, my special friend, is always energetic and active. We often walk around school with camera in hand to take photographs. We even look under automobiles to find something interesting and worth photographing. Jumping up in the school grounds. Not hesitating to jump into puddles of water. The best time to see her smile is when she is eating her lunchbox. Just once I happened to glimpse her lonely face.

About the subject

We were in the same after-school activity during junior high school and were both working in the administrative office for the student council. My friend is always smiling and energetic, and that’s why I wanted her to be my subject.
