I have been shooting many kinds of old objects.
The reason why I am attracted to them is that they have dignity in the same way our respectable elderly people have.
Rusted tool looks like a rugged hand of hard woking grandpa, and countless scratches on a spoon reminds me of the wrinkles of grandma who always gives me a sweet smile.
Besides such visual beauty, what I capture carefully is the "aura."
And that is earned only from time and experiences they have been through.
These works are the portraits of such lovable things.
