Degree show document (2) 12images a day



*12images a day.

As you can see, I take a photo just normal daily actions everyday. When I started this project I was going to do just 3or 5images per day but it was quite difficult to express my unexciting life. So I generally take more than 12images before doing action or press shutter when I found simple scene of beauty in daily life.








*print on drawing paper and handmade book

Now I use digital camera but for some reasons I still like photo printed on paper, especially mat type paper and with border.
I was experimenting over last summer using just normal EPSON home printer because the project will be big part of my daily action(life) so I needed to make it simple and easy to continue.

 It was quite difficult to make a decision but I stopped using photo paper because i found that any type of photographic paper  is not  my taste but it was quite difficult to make decision as my background is photography and have been working related with photograph for a long time when I was in Tokyo. so I think I had strange preconception unconsciously.
But now… I am in Edinburgh and a student, I should do whatever I want to try so I tried to use normal drawing paper, also simply, I just like paper as material. Then I decided to make handmade book each month.
