This collection is mostly taken around Shizuoka City (meaning quiet hills). It is a rural area and the dominating theme is of the elderly people people who work in the fields, on tea plantations and rice paddies mostly. They are very energetic and friendly people, the mood I hope to represent is simple but bucolic.

Most images were taken in medium format using Kodak Portra film.
