Friday, January 1st, 2016..December 2015.. ..Hiroshima..
Sadly, 2015 saw the passing of atomic bomb survivor Mr. Toshifumi Ohashi, who I photographed for From Above. He passed away the day after speaking at my exhibition in New York. I was fortunate to have heard him one last time before he suddenly died.
I have a great deal of respect for what he endured and stood for later in life. I never understood why he thanked me so much for being interested in lives the lives of atomic bomb survivors because they naturally seemed like extraordinary people to me. They lived every moment demonstrating that peace begins with your actions then it can be spread exponentially.
I never had doubts about what they fought for. I need to thank them because they had more trust in me at times than I had in myself. I hope that my photographs will continue to carry on their message even though their voices have gone silent.
