A photo serioes of self portraits taken by my friend Nick Larson. This is a depiction and representation of diving deeper into myself. A conceptual thought process of who I am.
More goofing around in my loo. Don't know why I'd want to spend so much time in there as it's pretty small.
Just having fun.
Photo captured off Interstate 5 south of Yreka. Siskiyou County. Northern California. Early January 2013.
Leaving work after dark on a Friday night. The top half of the image depicts the left-brained corporate world where logic, reason, and linear thinking prevail. The bottom half represents the right-brained world of art, music, intuition, and emotions.
Terumasa seemed to be constantly in a state of self reflection, choosing not to speak much and regularly looking within.

My World
This assignment asked us to showcase our lives from an artist’s standpoint. This takes a fair amount of self-reflection about what is important and what components of the world comprise one’s life. Upon asking myself these questions, I was reminded of what in the world inspires me I took almost 100 photos in preparation for this assignment, attempting to capture the essence of what makes up the essence of my life: food, my wife, my fearlessness, and the home we have endeavored to create together.
Oftentimes what we do isn’t visually recorded. Adding that documentation forced me to examine my life from a more analytical standpoint and through a more reflective lens – particularly because I knew that I was photographing – and living – for an audience. Thus I am most disappointed by missing out on so many photos. I was busy living, but found myself saying, “I wish I had a picture of that!” or “That would make a great photograph, the lines…”
I think my greatest successes were working with black and white and playing with the shutter speed. It was fun to think about what moments were enhanced by color and in what moments a color image could actually detract from what I was trying to show or say. For example, the apply photo needed the color to convey what it is to be an apple. Conversely, the image of me jumping would have been less powerful, I think, if it had included the color of my shirt and the plants and the house. I also enjoyed playing with the shutter speed. We ordered champagne on our first wedding anniversary, and the bartender stated that the champagne we selected was known for having lots of tiny bubbles. Truly, I had never seen such bubbly champagne. The bubbles flowed like waves in the glass, and I felt that I was able to capture that movement and the joy of the moment by taking a black and white photo set to a fast shutter. I look forward to playing around with the manual functions on my camera during this course.
