Hi Everyone! Meet Tadashi! 🤗
“ I am very serious about photography. Ever since 2004, my wife and I have spent most of our winters and all our summers traveling South and Southeast Asia and we’re both photographers. In 2004, on our first trip, one of the places we went to was ...Cambodia. Since we’re both educators, we ask people about school, naturally. What we heard about the difficulties of ordinary people trying to get through high school, changed everything for us. After hearing enough of these stories, we decided to write a book. The book is a combination of our photography in these countries as well as interviews from students, educators, and other people.
I enjoy the process of taking pictures. What I see photography as, is something that opens doors for me where I get to experience things, meet people and form relationships, understand the world in a way I never would’ve. There’s a famous photographer who said, “It’s not a camera, it’s a visa” and that’s a very good way of looking at it. Photography let me understand so much about the world and meet people who I wouldn’t have ordinarily met. Through that, I have formed relationships, some of which have lasted for 20 years now.” 📸🖼️
