In these moments...

I'm chasing moments all the time which makes me inspired and happy. Mostly nature: Sky, Clouds, Flowers, but sometimes people. People sometimes give me an amazing moment for my inspiration. They show me amazing moments of their life dramas. 

It's been one of my habits to observe people anytime and anywhere consciously or not. I grew up with my parents who ran a Sushi restaurant business, and I had naturally become to observe adults from their backs. Even after I became grown up, I chose a job in my 30's in service industry, and later human resource for 2 years in 40's. My life seems to be based on Anthropology. Because of those my life backgrounds, I could easily built up my senses and kills to catch the moments which is positively good for my iPhone photography works. 

Catching moments for me is like feeling something in the air, doing fishing in the air. This is an ambiguous expression, but invisible moments which are very precious, adorable are floating in the air. I just sense, and catch or grab it. This is a very instance event that I need to do which is probably within a second. 

I'm just doing my iPhone photography works just for fun since I'm not a professional photographer. I still don't know how to use single-lens reflex camera. However, my iPhone photography is seemingly going well so far, and catching the moments as it is at the best timing. 

It is the best exercise for me not to loose my ability to get connected with the moments which we can get connected from somehow beyond 5 senses. I mean Inspiration beyond the 5 senses. 

After starting this blog "Northern Sky", I try my best to update my blog with as good photos as possible. No idea, who is reading my posts from where, but I do hope that I can share the moments I encounter and my thoughts.
