    Honorable Mention in Architecture / Buildings

This characteristic building is a Japanese university. The wind was strong and the cloud flow was steep on this day of shooting. The contrast between this building and the flow of clouds was so beautiful that I could not help but release the shutter.

I was born in 1970 in Osaka, Japan. I became interested in cameras when I was in high school. At that time, the goal was to shoot the Blue Impulse, an acrobatic flight team. After that, I didn't shoot for a while, but when I was 30 I started shooting again. At that time, I was mainly shooting landscapes in color. However, around 2018, I started taking monochrome photographs in earnest. I was convinced that taking a work in black and white would more accurately represent the scenery I felt. Since then, I have been shooting mainly Japanese landscapes and streets.
