Awareness

As time passes by so quickly and I feel a sense of emptiness, I've recently been trying to be mindful of everything I do.

Although it may seem normal, there is a surprising amount of time that we are unconscious of, and time passes without us remembering it.

That's why I think all that's left is a sense of emptiness.

What does it mean to be conscious?

I feel like I've finally realized recently that it's important to maintain curiosity and interest in constantly seeking new discoveries and new insights in your daily life, and to never stop learning.

I've been going mountain climbing once a week recently, and I often see spider webs on the mountains.

It can be a nuisance if it gets on your face, but the way it lets the light through is very beautiful.

So, when we looked into the composition of spider webs, we found that they are made of a protein called fibroin, and upon closer inspection, we were surprised to find that it is four times stronger than iron thread and twice as strong as nylon thread.

It's interesting because it's actually attracting so much attention that development is underway with the possibility of it being applied in industrial and medical fields.

By accumulating such learning, big and small, your own background and story will naturally be formed, and I believe this will have a positive influence on the photographs and videos you create.

That being said, I still am not always able to spend time consciously studying, but I would like to deepen my learning even if it is just a little at a time.

Finally, on a personal note, I was blessed with my first child on 2020.10.29.AM7.28. His name is Kouyou.

As I watched Hiroha's face change day by day, I became even more conscious of time.

I want to cherish every moment I spend with my family and the people around me who support me.
