“untitled at the moment”

Hiroshi Watanabe is a Japaneses photographer living in Los Angeles, CA. I have enjoyed his work for some time now.

This image of Azusa Tukamoto as Osome is my favorite from the Kabuki Players series. She is tender, soft and shy which the shallow depth of field helps to define. The image speaks of innocence and tradition. It also resonates with a feeling I had after I returned from Japan and China in 2005.

My friend Lana Z Caplan has just got around to scanning some of the images she made while we were in China. You can see some samples on her (website).
