Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
When you stop doing something, it doesn't mean you are rejecting the previous work. That's the mistake; it's not rejecting it, it's saying, 'I have exploited it enough now and I wish to take a look at another corner.'
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
Like people, trees are all individuals.
All painters are interested in photography to a certain extent.
Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.
People criticized me for my photography. They said it's not art.
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.

Well you can't teach the poetry, but you can teach the craft.

I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.
Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?
