A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see
Roland Barthes

---------------------------------------

Through the lens of my camera, I seek to capture the subjects with the utmost sensitivity and completeness of a child's eyes encountering the world.

For the past twenty years working as a professional photographer, I have been priviledged to share my discoveries through photography.


私がカメラのレンズを通して追い求めるのは、研ぎ澄まされた感受性と率直さによって題材を捉えること - 子供の目がはじめて世界を認識するときのように。

この二十年間、私の個人的発見や遭遇を共有することができたのは、この写真家という仕事に恵まれたからに他ならない。

    "maat108 is one of my favorite photographer on Flickr.The artistic aura which he appeared is the refinement of a soul through time.There are such spaces that I can't think but feel. I always follow the extensiveness of it being with my emotion.

    Another element of maat108's works which still impress me is the awesome range of every condensed moment from real life, and he took all of them without artificial setting! I threw off my mind to experience his unusual odor which filled his shots from the real world. Through those exclusive odor,I can perceive his soul,and I'm deeply affected by the inward part of his works !

    Such beauty exists here to all who would stop and feel. Just looks like the fluid time is frozen,and waiting to be born......"

    "im wondering why such an icon like M@t doesnt have any testimonial? perhaps his photos are so breath-taking that viewers found it really difficult to express themselves in words...

    viewing M@t's stream is like traveling in a colorful world, which is full of astonishment and joy...

    to me, M@t is one of the greatest flickrites i ever knew...

    hope to see you in Vietnam soon! ;)"
