    Hitoshi Ashinano
    “On days like today,
    even if I see something that would
    make a good picture,
    I don't take it out of my pouch.
    I take my time
    as I walk...
    here, between the sky above
    and the earth
    below...
    Its rhythm follows
    the pace of my
    steps.
    A song emerges from
    my parted
    lips.
    As I look around at the world,
    out from myself,
    I continue walking.
    But I carried on
    my strange song and
    dance
    all the way home.
    I never took out my camera.”
    Hitoshi Ashinano, ヨコハマ買い出し紀行 1 [Yokohama kaidashi kikō 1]
