On the frog and his life When a child, I found a small dried-up frog about the size of a fingertip and took it home. Carefully I put it away in a box together with other useless things. A dozen or so years later I came across the box. The frog had turned into nothing but bones. I found the transformation beautiful. My eyes are turned to small things or ordinary scenes, the things easily overlooked. With a camera, we can photograph only the surface of things. But once I have them as photographs, the sensation that I had when I saw the small things begins to turn into something substantial, which always gives me surprise and joy. I am collecting the photographs. Yoshiyuki Oki |
