I've been photographing in this part of Showa Era industrial Kawasaki. The place doesn't fit in with the modern designed-for-the-masses world where convenience has replaced beauty. I love these structures and what they represent. I also love the way that film renders the tones of the water and the structures. I feel out of place in the environment we have built but very much at home here.

I studied photography at Pratt Institute, New York. I took photographs of trains, people, animals, and buildings at many locations, day and night, even aboard a freight train and atop a suspension bridge. I used a 35mm and a large format camera. My style is: The camera is my eyes, I photograph something just as I see it. I don’t think about composition, there is a direct link between what I feel about what I see and the photograph.
