Kane has a gift of seeing the world that others only dream of. Whether it's nature or neighbors, we all patiently wait for new photos from Kane. But besides the beautiful photographs, he has also given himself to us in friendship. Always with a kind, supporting word. I met him online in 2002 but lost touch with him over the recent years but I miss him immensely and yearn for another kind word or photo. Patiently I wait. xoxo

日本語でkanebluesさんの写真の紹介をさせていただきます。 Flickrに参加したばかりの頃、僕は一枚の写真に出会いました。その写真は単純ながらとても美しく、あたかも一遍の詩の中で輝く言葉のような印象を持ちました。それ以来、僕はkanebluesさんの写真に魅了され続けています。 「写真」とは何か? 「撮るという行為」は人にとってどの様なことなのか? それらの素朴な疑問への答えを、僕はkanebluesさんの写真を見ることで、僅かながらも、知ることが出来たと思っています。 商業的で強度を求めた虚しい写真が多い中、僕はkanebluesさんの写真に、モノの本当の姿が写し撮られていると強く感じます。 それは、おそらく… Read more

日本語でkanebluesさんの写真の紹介をさせていただきます。 Flickrに参加したばかりの頃、僕は一枚の写真に出会いました。その写真は単純ながらとても美しく、あたかも一遍の詩の中で輝く言葉のような印象を持ちました。それ以来、僕はkanebluesさんの写真に魅了され続けています。 「写真」とは何か? 「撮るという行為」は人にとってどの様なことなのか? それらの素朴な疑問への答えを、僕はkanebluesさんの写真を見ることで、僅かながらも、知ることが出来たと思っています。 商業的で強度を求めた虚しい写真が多い中、僕はkanebluesさんの写真に、モノの本当の姿が写し撮られていると強く感じます。 それは、おそらく詩人でもあるkanebluesさんの、本質を見抜く眼差しが、ファインダーを通しても少しも損なわれることなく、現れているからだと思うのです。 僕は彼の写真に出会えたことに感謝しています。そしてそれ以上に、これらの写真を撮られているkanebluesさんに感謝の気持ちを持っています。

OK, what to write... I think I will move to Hawaii and start a business with this talented photographer. We will call it "Kane And Duane's Tropicameras." We will have sushi for dinner, drink piña coladas, walk the beaches, interact with the locals, and take pictures all day in our island paradise. People will enjoy our wicked sense of humor, our devastatingly good looks, and the talent that exudes from our pores like pineapple juice. Ah, to dream. For now, avail yourself of the amazing work here. Take in the sights and smells, the colors and magic. It's like a vacation for the soul...without the irritating sand in your shorts.
