Eye to Eye with the Whale: Bryant Austin

Here is a photo exhibition I missed. I didn't even know about this photographer when it was held in Tokyo in December. However, because of my own experience of encountering (and communicating with) wild dolphins in the U. S. about 15 years ago, I really understand "emotionally" what made him shoot such photographs of wild whales in the water. Please check this out:

見逃した写真展があり。開催中（東京で12月）にもこの写真家のことを知らなかった（ちょっとガッカリ）。しかしながら、15年ほど前の米国で野生のイルカと遭遇し（てコミュニケーションをし）た私自身の経験からも、なぜこのような水中でクジラの写真を撮る気持ちになったかがとてもよく理解できる。詳しくはこちらをどうぞ。

Check Out: Aurora in Ginza, 10th December

The real dedicated AURORA (Northern Lights) "evangelist," Tetsuya Nakagaki is making his appearance in Ginza on Wednesday, 10th December.
Born in Sapporo, he was into celestial photography since his childhood. In 2001 he was first knocked out by the extraordinary beauty of the aurora in New Zealand and ever since he has spent hundreds of days and nights on his own in the far north regions in Canada and Alaska in pursuit of the incredibly diverse and ephemeral views of the heavenly lights.
Since I have supported him by performing music in and organizing his slideshows in my area in several occasions, I bet you will be struck by the hundreds of pictures he is showing. Please note up to only ten people can be admitted for each show. For details (Japanese only)
12月10日（水）、オーロラの「伝道師」として身を捧げる中垣哲也氏が銀座で公演します。
札幌に生まれ、子供のころから天体写真に目醒め、2001年に訪ねたニュージーランドで遭遇したオーロラのあまりの美しさの虜となる。それからは二度と同じ姿を見せることのない多様な北極光の美しさを捕らえるために、カナダ、アラスカの極北地域を何百日も一人で旅して歩く。
十勝地域での中垣氏のスライドショー公演の際に音楽演奏やイベント手配を数度お手伝いをさせていただいた経験から、間違いなく強烈な感動をすることをお約束しますよ。1回につき最大10名様までなので要注意です。
