Mitsuya OkumuraDivined by dreams

I carry with me neither the tourist naiveté nor the natives expertise. I am left only with a clarity that is portable because of its lightness. A stationary traveler must find his own emotional content. I, as a photographer, have attempted to become integrated into this environment. By Definition I am not. I, as a photographer, have attempted not to become integrated into this environment. By Definition I am.
