I observe and photograph the sea creatures of Yakushima Island (in Kagoshima-ken, southern Japan) while working as diving guide.
I am dedicated to Yakushima Island and its surrounding waters, and my time is spent observing its sea life.
To me, photograph is only one tool toward a better understanding of nature. It is my goal not to photograph but to observe nature. I believes that I can't imagine wildlife photography without observation.
I would rather be a naturalist than be a photographer. And never lose my sense of wonder for all of nature around me.
favorite: nature observation,underwater photography
