I am no longer "pro" on Flickr. My own favorite photos will be on my new portfolio site (in-progress) sugurunishioka.com

When I was 11, I lost my right eyesight temporarily yet completely. My parents were told that I've lost the right eye, and I'd be lucky if I could keep some of the left eyesight.

Eventually the light came back to the right eye after being hospitalized for a month, but it never recovered completely for everyday use.

I enjoy photography with my left eye as a way to capture the footprints of the life I've lived to this day.

gear and photos:

I stopped tagging gear info on my photos. I shoot 35mm film and digital mainly in black and white for the "ground" and digital color for the underwater. Posts are from direct digital files or film/print scans using either flatbed scanner or digital camera.

copyright stuff:

Please contact me and get a written permission BEFORE publishing if you would like to use my photos for anything (online, offline, non-profit or commercial use).

other notes:

I really really appreciate your comments, I really do! However, I'll have to delete comments with HUGE award badges, images, "see my stream!" thumbnails (please bring your popularity race efforts somewhere else!). Also, I appreciate invitations to groups, but I don't put my photos in award driven/comment required groups.
