Natsukashii

“Natsukashii” is a word in Japanese which stands for the state of “feeling nostalgic” or “fond/sweet memory.”

These images are photographs of landscapes taken in places far away, and in places as close as my backyard. The location of each is not immediately known, and is sometimes very unexpected. Each image is a peaceful meditation that is reflective of my response to nature, and is an attempt to re-create the distinct memory that I have of times when I have felt “as one” with the environment surrounding me.
