A trip to Okinawa begins at the airport. The moments of takeoff and landing help shape the mood of the journey. The view from the airplane window already feels like part of the destination.
This Okinawa series, presented in eight parts, captures scenes photographed between Naha and Koza under the clear skies before the rainy season. It also captures a sense of atmosphere that feels distinct from Tokyo.
Shot with the GR III, these color images capture the everyday scenes and atmosphere of Okinawa’s streets. The GR III’s vivid, contrast-rich color profile pairs well with the light of Okinawa. ■
沖縄への旅は空港から始まる。離陸や着陸の時間は、旅の気分を少しずつ形づくっていく。飛行機の窓から見える景色も、すでに目的地の一部のように感じられる。
複数回に分けて紹介するこの沖縄シリーズでは、梅雨入り前の晴れた空の下、那覇からコザまでの間で撮影した風景をまとめている。そこには東京とは違う、沖縄ならではの空気も写っている。
GR IIIで撮影したカラー写真では、沖縄の街にある日常の風景と気配を記録した。鮮やかでコントラストの強いGR IIIの色は、沖縄の光によく合っていた。■
