Discussing our intention to climb The Nuns Veil with the boat driver just before being dropped off and he says "So you're heading left along the moraine and then up that valley?" Ah no...We're heading right! Nothing like a bit of doubt to start the trip when you're about to be dropped off.
Pulling up next to the rocky wall the leisure ride was all but over. We got to it without delay and unloaded the gear carefully across the water and stashed the food drop loosely under a rock. It was time to cut the ties to civilisation and start this trip in ernest.
The boat reversed out and sped away and in that moment the feeling of exhilaration and excitement came flooding in. That feeling that comes with being dropped off in an isolated wilderness with just yourselves and adventure in your sights!
As a side to this, it is also a sobering thought that on this day, the same day we were planning to fly up to Tasman Saddle Hut, that just over the other side of the range only a short distance away, a helicopter crashed on the glacier killing all seven on board. www.news.com.au/world/fox-glacier-new-zealand-helicopter-... What a tragedy...

Self portrait series for The Photographic Journal
While shooting this series I often felt like a kid on summer break. I could play around and transform myself however I wanted. If my plans weren’t working out, I could always move on to the next idea. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I prefer to be behind the camera, but I’m grateful I had this time to experiment with my own face. Keep an open mind. Keep playing.

"Isolation"
The Keys, Florida, USA
1310-4-6886
Situated in Florida's southern extremes are The Keys, individual islands connected to the mainland by US-1, a 100+ mile highway. Along the highway are endless views of mangroves that line the seashore.
This view, about midway between Key Largo and Key West, is found just off the highway. I decided to stop here as an afterthought. The sun had already set about thirty minutes earlier, and made the call to stop just to "see what I could get." What a great choice! The higher tide had filled up the rocky foreground, making a reflective sea of glass!

this year I will try to choose one photo a day for this pseudo-project, no matter the motive, style, colour or technique. encouraging myself to shoot everyday, even if I can't go outside.

Today June 11th, Self-Isolation days have already finished in Japan. This pic taken in Apr 19th from top floor of my apartment.
Last June 1st, we restarted new life of after self-isolation days. I still can't find best form of new life style. Actually I'm already feeling familiar with new rules under the self-isolation. But there is almost nothing enjoyment.
自粛生活が明け、１１日程度経過しましたが、相変わらずの制限付きの毎日で、楽しみがとても少ないです。
