In 2005 autumn, tinted maple leaves condition was so so good and I went out for photo shooting. It was a joy for me because the leaves condition was very bad in 2003 and 2004 due to big typhoons had come to Hiroshima and many trees and leaves were covered with sea water brought by the typhoons.
Many Japanese cameramen tend to take maple photos in very vivid colors but what I tried to express with the photos here is "silence" or "modesty of Japan's traditional culture". So most of my photos were rendered in graceful colors.
