Japanese Popular Photographer---日本超人氣攝影家：川島小鳥 & 《未來ちゃん》

  

 Yesterday in my city there was a photographing exhibition of 川島小鳥. My co worker invited me so I went.


The photographer is a young guy name 川島小鳥, in his work, he takes photo of this cute little girl- 未來. These photos record faithfully her daily life in a countryside island- Sadogashima.



Her life seems so simple, she eats ice cream, she is in the farm, she plays with dog cat and rabbit.  She plays with sand.

She's eating.

She cries a lot.

She got boogers.

Running noese.

 She's in her red dress a lot. With yellow rain boots. Her little cheek turns red because of cold.

She is so naive and natural, I wonder if we already forget the feeling of rolling in blankets, in leaves, play and not faking ourselves.

Her smile is beautiful and sincere,
her cries make you feel the same pain as she feels ( even you know  the sky is not falling down)

She lets me see the kid inside myself.

Once we were like that,
once we have ten thousands different kind of way to play, to live, to express ourselves

Once we were so close to the earth, we were friends with the mother earth. We run, fall down, get up and still keep going


Once we were all equal to our animal friends, they were our best friends and most loyal. We don't abandon them so won't they.









Once our father was the giant, we knew that step on his shoulders we are safe, he's like a rock that doesn't move








Once our five senses were so sensitive. We used to hear the bird chirping in the background, the aroma of a hidden rose. We used to know the temperature of the ocean and the warm sticky feeling of the muddy ground,
 the taste of snowball.


Where is our inner- little -girl?



Sometimes I want to go find her and play with her. No big theories nor deep life philosophies.
 Just pure experiences of life, nature and our surroundings.




The perfect escape.
