Summer's coming nearer and nearer

110501.jpg
I came up with some plans to confront for summer that would be unbelievable heat.
And immediately I putted one of them into practice.

I cleaned up a loft to go through for air smooth.
And I discovered a lot of treasure that I collected many types of goods.
Some of them were changed real treasure. But I decide to dump on another ones .

I'd been soaked with sweat only in 1 hour at that work.
I noticed that loft is the most hot area in my house.

Tears of secret

110430.jpgUnexpectedly, I felt I fall off into paradox in myself.
Now, I can hardly stop it.

But, I had overcome many similar symptoms at several times.
I'm feeling in that strange sensation whenever the season is changing on.

I must win in myself.
I never cry and never shed any tears.

Anyway, I'll have to go straight.

Cracked glass art

110428.jpg
Today;
We went to "la butte boisée" at Jiyugaoka for a Tomoko's birthday party.
We had warm time, and we had so delicious meal.
Thank you for ingenious cuisine, Chef Morishige !
Thank you for great hospitality, Ms. Fukushi !
Actually, we are proud of our job that have tied up with that restaurant since 2006.

110428_1.jpgBy the way.
This is a artistic plate which is made from glass by competent meister.
Handmade goods are the most appropriate ones for those who are very particular about them.

Augstus Caesar

51JMTo2+BnL._SS500_.jpg

Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus was the first Emperor of the Roman Empire. His father in law is more famous historic hero than him.
His father is well-known for "Julius Caesar " which were written by Shakespear.
I also admire for Julius Caesar who always won against many enemies and himself.
But, I have great respect for Emperor Augustus rather than Julius Caesar.    

I should get back to subject.
The region of Augustus was over a long time of years. That was over 40 years!!
He established the foundation for modern national style while his region.

He had never won the war by himself.
But, he had two friends who both had super brain.
One of them, Agrippa was ingenious on war.
His historic symbol is Pantheon that  still is there, surprisingly.
And other friend, Maecenas intelligently used diplomacy as the negotiator.
Patroness action is the greatest triumph of him, I think.
Just now, the fountain pen of homage to him by Mont Blank is on sale.
But, But, it's expensive to me.


Yesterday;
I ordered it. It'll arrive to me in 10 day.  

Add more tastes into the soy source 

110426.jpg

I can't have much meal at a time, as well as I'm a poor drinker.
I'd rather I have delicious meals and flavorful coffee, instead.

The other day, I bought this interesting seasoning which will be completed by myself at shopping mall.

If anything,  I would like olive oil dressing better than the soy source.
But, I think soy source that is attached in "Natto" is the best.

I had a certain inspiration when I found this miraculous bottle.
"I will be given similar taste from this !!"

110426_1.jpg

Probably, this seasoning kit will bring me a little happiness.

Energy resource

110425_1.jpg
We;EasterEgg never compromise to complete our works.
But now, We really have to face some problems.
Particularly, power cut in this summer is the most serious.

Recently, we had been depending on the electric power from nuclear plant.
And now, we can't continue to work without it.

These servers are working in our atelier 24 hours without a holiday, it means that we are spending many energy.
Therefore, we need to reconsider our routine of work
And,we have to come up with more cleverer solution, and immediately we must put it into practice. 

Pota

042411.jpg

Today;
It was so lovely day, doesn't it ?
The weather had been fine.
Temperature just fitted to us, and also humidity was the best refreshed !!

Spring will has been going to pass us at a moment. Summer will come soon.
The Meteorological Agency says. Probably, we'll have to suffer from a scorching sun.
And, we have to face electricity shortage from nuclear power plants accident.
From just now, we should prepare to against it, shouldn't we?

But, don't forget to maintain of your pleasure, always.
What pleasure do you have in the summer?
One of my summer's pleasure is iced coffee.

My favorite iced coffee is dripped down from this coffee-maker.
This is called "Pota", and it makes so-called "Water drip coffee".

If I wanna drink some "Water drip coffee", I have to wait for about 10 hours.
I also like that, too.

Wedding in the hard rain

110423.jpgToday;
It had been hard rain without chances of very short time of cloudy.
Probably, many people wish it would be fine on wedding day.
But, don't worry, from photographer's viewpoint, rainy day is superior to the fine day for taking photos.
In actually, the light in the rain is better than the be fine days.
It always gives us natural lights. These lights are more soft and beautiful as if a silk.

Relative

110422.jpg

Today;
A family came to our atelier.
We hadn't met each other for almost 3 years.
So, they got married in May 2008, at that time I and Yurie Fukuno took photos of their wedding ceremony and party.

110422_1.jpg

Now, they become a parents of their baby.
He is 18 months old.

His parents said  "He continues to become more and more mischievous  and now he is  at the most mischievous age".

That reminded me that my 2 sons were similar.

110422_2.jpg

About 1 hour later, he slept peacefully.

I heard his father who used to be a groom has been taking many photos of him. So his father is an eager photographer.

110422_4.jpg

Now, I'm very happy. My heart is full of gratitude.
I'll be cherishing this feeling as long as I live.

Rose

110421.jpg

Recently, I realized each of traditional things in Japan is all beautiful.
In all likelihood, I used to prefer European style to Japanese style. 

"Sakura" is the most popular flower in Japanese people.
But,I didn't  feel  more amazing from them than from rose.

Any way, all of flowers look most beautiful on their blossoming. I would like to be a flower lover.

Recover

110420.jpg
I like to read book & novels.
I have been spending so much time and a lot of money for at least 30 years.
But, certainly I think this habit isn't not bad. I had gotten many opinions, inspirations, virtual experiences, by them.

Many times, I'd been abroad in my imagination when I was teenager.
I was interested in ancient cities on the encyclopedia.
Also, I admired for infinite universe beyond the sky.
Mostly, many books gave me wisdom.

The other day, I had slept down in my mistake while I was taking a bath. I dropped my favorite novel into the bathtub.

Today. It still doesn't dry.
Time makes it solve, doesn't it?

Long life

110419.jpg
Today;
A baby & his parents have come to our atelier.

This couple had got married at restaurant "Canoviano Tokyo" in 2008.

Here you are
 
At that day, we had very lovely weather. Similarly we could get it today.

110419_3.jpgThis baby is 4 months old.  He was born in 30th November 2010.
So cute !!
He was in a laughing mood, and he tried to speak to us something.
I could hardly understand what he wanted to do.

110419_4.jpgBut, his mother always supposed, correctly.  Great !! I admire her wisdom as a mother.

110419_2.jpg
I mustn't forget his father,
His father played with him, as if he is a big brother.

110419_1.jpg I had a very good time. Thank you for your visit.
See you. Maybe someday.


Creative light

110418_2.jpg

Today;
I went to Tsukishima in Tokyo to buy some gears for studio shooting.
Gin-ichi is one of well-known pro shop among photographers.
I haven't been there for about 3 years.

110418.jpg

I'd buy many many things for studio if money were no problem.
Poor me !

Let's go back to the subject.

110418_1.jpg

I was intending to buy so-called "Chimera" at first, ...I hate to tell them this, but it smelled awful. It couldn't buy enough.

I decided to select them after so much hesitation almost 2 hours
Those name are "Creative Light".
I had better add more reason.
In fact, those were more cheaper than the Chimeras, and Those style are coolish.

Bread

110417.jpgI've been coming up with a solutions that I supply all couple's satisfaction forever.
Also, photographers who belong to EasteEgg are included to my consideration.
But, some of consensuses in my mind are yet to be reached to the best solution.

Thinking and planning for work all a day made my head tired.
Therefore, I would like to have some sweet bread.

Yatsugatake-Bread

Tied up as a rival

We:EasterEgg have contracted to tie up with some restaurants, wedding ceremony halls, and hotels.

I think taking wedding photo is the most difficult genre above all.
Particularly, the best snap shots are taken by competent skills, great sense and coincidental chance.

Wedding photographer must keep their physical and mental condition, and must brush up their feeling.
Therefore, we must continue to take photos of wedding.
We think each in every wedding that we took were unforgettable.
All of wedding couple made us decent technician.

We are eager to increase own special sense.

Not to mention

110415.jpgI have spent to study English for one year.
But my English isn't reach to useful level on communication.

But I never give up.

Certainly, my ability of English has improved.
I believe I'll be able to speak English more in a year.
Therefore, I need a thorough review of my study method, and I'll have to change it.

Secondhand or new

So far, I might have been dreaming that I take photos in my abstraction.
But, I realized what we need.

Those are Chimera.
Now that I've found that what I need, I'll buy them as soon as possible and as cheap as friendly.

From Ishigaki island

110412_1.jpg
Yesterday;
My wife  was given this as a present  by her sister.
Usually, I'm a sweet tooth that is a well known fact around me.
I don't feel like eat a special spicy foods, I'd rather eat bitter vegetable.

But sometimes I have eating spicy foods, too.
For example,
Korean foods, Indian foods, and Mexican foods.

Therefore, I have expectation to this "Rahyou" that will give me good taste.

Please take a look at here

Half Moon

110412.jpg
Today.
The Government announced of critical message that nuclear power supply trouble.
We:Japanese all have to face this new problem that is now being watched with interest by the rest of the world.

My father said  "Japan was lost in the world war II.", when I was a child.
And  "We had recovered from zero or minus, and now they are growing up than before the world war II." he continued.
Now, I remembered this phrase that gives me fighting spirit.

In ten years, we'll overcome this problem.
And no doubt,  we'll aware what is the most cherish something.

I  realized there is the half moon when I looked up the sky. I felt it says to us "Don't worry".

Be natural

110411.jpg Today, I chased many jobs. I could finish them that I had to do it.
But, I couldn't reach to more additions.
 I'm admire for person who develop digital photo data as well as, doing desk work on paralleled.

From now on, I have to study English until 24:00.
 I must be have a pleasure heart.

Radio synchro system

110410_1.jpg
"Comet radio synchro system" set that I ordered two days ago had arrived in the afternoon.

When we take photos of formal style at wedding, usually we use so-called "mono block strobe".
But, they made us be annoyed, because  between camera and strobe doesn't work, particular at outside on fine day.
Until now, our synchro system was depended upon infrared transmission.
As you anticipated, there are many infrared in addition to ultraviolet at outside on fine day.
It's understandably.

110410.jpgNow that, we've gotten this unit, we'll have to concentrate to take photos more than yesterday!

Construction

110409.jpg
An avenue in front of EasterEgg atelier has been constructing for a month.
They are working from night to dawn every night without holiday.

Today, I'd met some couples that are preparing for their wedding.
Really, many tasks have come one after another. That was unbelievable for me.
I have to fight together my toughness spirit against those tasks.

Meats were boiled by charcoal

110408.jpg
Today; My little son got into a junior high school.
So, today is a special occasion that he'll welcome many happiness to come for his long life.
Then, I and my wife decided to take him to restaurant for he is preferring.
That goes without saying, my big son also likes meats.

They really ate so much at tonight !!
I had to be continuing to bake many meat. I could hardly eat any more.
But I'm happy.

I must protect and guard for my family.
I have to raise them health and tough.

Wireless system

acc_rs.jpg

For about this decade, trend of wedding photos that couple fancy for their wedding day has been snap shot.

But recently, little by little the trend is moving back to traditional style.
I think this tendency has relation to what couples select their wedding style.

Anyway, we have to prepare for any photo style that couples prefer.
Then, I've purchased "Wireless system unit" with strobe from maker.

We'll be able to take photos more wishes. And, no doubt, it'll bring about great benefits for many couples

 COMET

Found

110406.jpg
I'd lost this inner ear headphone about 3 weeks ago.
I'd been looking for this for until today, but I couldn't find it.  
But unexpectedly,  I found this in my Jacket when I request to dryclean it on laundry shop.

I thought headphone is a very important item.
This Bose is good feeling for my ears. I think good fit feeling is more important rather than sounds.

But, it has a big weak point that it ear piece is easily get out from body.
I request to Bose that should improve from this weak point.

Subway station

110405.jpgToday. I used the subway to go to my atelier.
I felt something strange when I got off at Aoyama-itchome station.
As soon, I realized it's dark around the platform, a little.
But, I thought it was enough light for those who use the subway station.
Actually, I remind that both Rome and London's subway station's lamps were less than Tokyo's them.

110409_2.jpgUntil now, we spent of excess electrical energy than we needs.
I must mind my spending energy of excess.


By all means Rome

110404.jpgStrictly speaking, I should have said "I'm in Rome, now." and  "I'm going to depart on flight BA007 from Leonardo da Vinci airport".

But as it is, I am in Japan.

Owing to huge earthquake, I canceled to business trip.
This business trip contained an important meeting that trade of ours items.
I'll go to there on next chance and I have to win a firm contract.

Well, today as. I have to  write about a book that is written of Rome.
Because,  I'm reading this book for a few days. It has very specious content.
Whenever reading this book  I feel as if I was in Rome.
I feel as if I lived in Rome whenever I read this book.

I'm walking in my imaginary world.
Colosseo,Foro-Romano,Piazza di Spagna, and some pavements....

I'm eager to go to Italy.
Someday !!

We've begun charity for compatriots

110403.jpg

From on now, EasterEgg declare to start charity activity.
For a start, we must stand on us own feet, firmly.
However, we can't help for them if we don't have enough power.

I as representative of EasterEgg company had been considering the problem and current capacity of us for this 3 weeks.

Now is the time, we;EasterEgg is starting to walk with them.
Please everyone, help them.

EasterEgg's charity 

Charity as us

110402_3.jpgWe;EasterEgg started to act charity for people who were damaged by so-called "Higashi Nippon daishinsai" earthquake.

The huge earthquake have been continuing to lead them to dismal crisis.
Victims will need strong mind & positive policy for at least a few years.
Correctly, we must help them.

And this challenging doesn't accomplish if we won't help for them continuously.

EasterEgg has made donation to Red cross, YMCA, or other charitable institution on every year since 2000.  

Now that, we found that there are a lot of troubles. Particularly,  problem of radiation is a matter of vital importance to people of the world.
EasterEgg should be warm, furthermore.
EasterEgg should help those who try to live a life of independence.

Just now, we are preparing for concrete plan.

1 years later

110402_1.jpg
Just 365 days ago.
I was operated on for cataract.

About 20 years ago,
My right eyesight was gradually decreased.
At last, I lost it. Since, I often thought it's inconvenient, but I couldn't have eye operation by slight reason.

It was fear.
However hard or tired, I can overcome many troubles or problems, usually.

But, also I had rich imagination !!
I could suppose that the knife is surging in my eye....it brought me dismal mood.
That was very rare for me. I continued to avoid that important fact.

I was wrong.
I think why I escaped from fact.
I had lost miracle view for over 20 years.

If you have cataract, I recommend that you should go to eye doctor,
immediately.

No doubt it will bring about you wonderful world.
I can assure you!!
