A Fellow Photographer

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 11 April 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Not that I'm a photographer. However, I met this gentleman on one of my trips to the top of Futabayama. He saw my camera and pointed out a mountain on the skyline behind which the city of Kure lies. When I asked if I could take his picture, he indicated no and pointed down the mountain (Futabayama) and said something I didn't understand. A bit later, I headed down the mountain and heard footsteps behind me. He had followed me and motioned for me to follow him. We walked a little further down and arrived at where he lives and he pulled out some of his photographs to show me. He had pictures of Hokkaido, Onomichi and some nice flower shots. After I looked at his photos, he agreed to be photographed. What a really nice chance encounter.
