Artist Statement
I don’t want to do idiot things like taking photographs of beautiful nature.
If I have enough time to take photographs of beauty, I would rather have a fuck with her.　I want to take photographs such as wrinkled and ragged pinup.

Thousands of terrorists were shot by John McClane with his Beretta 92 and died without being impressed anyone’s memory. Maybe their life were so grand and dramatic one with full of troubles like John McClane.

I always take photographs that anybody can take easily while thinking “Get lost!” to myself.
Because I’ll never disappear from those photographs.
