September 2, 2015 -- Bruce Osborn and our daughter, Yui --

September started! When you hear the sound “September” you hit upon an image of the autumn, don’t you?

Today’s picture is from recent post on Instagram. Our daughter Yui and Mr. Bruce Osborn, a photographer known by the series of “Oyako” on the day a screening of “Oyako - Present to the Future” was held in Kitakyushu last month. Norihito was so jealous of Bruce because he got friendly with Yui at once, but didn’t fail to capture the moment. Look at this amazing picture!

Bruce and his wife Yoshiko has been working together on their photography life work for more than 30 years. Norihito and I are also working as a team, making one of our goals to be a team like Bruce and Yoshiko. It was precious time to meet and talk with them and I believe that our paths will cross again in the near future.

This autumn, team Mitsunaga will move on to the next stage!

May 12, 2015 "Fresh Green Rice Field"

I guess it’s been quite long time after we posted an image of landscape last time. Today’s image is a scenery we came across in Munakata city about a year ago. In northern Kyushu the rice planting season has started. It’s the very season we can enjoy seeing fresh green rice fields.

10 months has passed since our family moved in to this area, Kurosaki, from Wakamatsu. Kurosaki is the place where I spend my childhood and I like living in here but sometimes I miss the life in Wakamatsu, especially the rural scenery and fresh local-grown vegetables.*Kurosaki is a kind of urban area, and Wakamatsu is rural area with mountains and ocean.

February 21, 2015 "Wanderer"

February is passing by so fast. And the sound of spring's footsteps is coming closer.

Today's image may be the one that arouse some stories in peoples mind. Me and Nori hit upon the same keyword when thinking of title of this image:

"Wanderer"

2月は逃げると言いますが、本当に逃げるように過ぎていきます。でも、春が急ぎ足で来てくれるような、ワクワクする気持ちもありますね。

今日の写真。典人の個人フィードをご覧になった方も多いかもしれませんが、見る人それぞれの胸にストーリーを掻き立てるような雰囲気ですね。何か気の利いたタイトルは無いかと考えていて、私も典人も同じようなキーワードを探していました。

Wanderer, 彷徨い人

生後間もない娘と、突然お兄ちゃんになって不安定な息子のことで、バタバタしていて、こちらの投稿が滞りがちでスミマセン。ボチボチUPします(*^^*)

Good afternoon. Today’s image is a scenery we came across in Toho village, Fukuoka pref. The smoke is rising up far behind the houses, there must be a temple or shrine on a small hill. Feel like I’m seeing an original landscape of Japan.

Several days ago me, Nori and our son went to our favorite onsen spot, Tsuetate Onsen (hot spring located in Oguni-cho, Kumamoto). Toho village is at the midpoint between our place and Tsuetate Onsen, so we often take rest at a roadside station and spend some time taking pictures of these beautiful landscapes in this village.
Toho village is not quite known but many of you may have heard of “Koishiwara”, that is famous for its pottery. Koishiwara is in Toho village.

I had a slight pain at lower belly the day before yesterday and I thought “my labor started!”, but the pain disappeared in an hour. I guess the day our new family member born is coming soon, but god only knows exactly when it’ll be. So excited!!

Have a nice Christmas and New Year’s holidays

こんにちは。今日お届けする一枚は福岡県東峰村で出会った風景です。向こうに見えるお寺から立ち上る煙。お寺を囲むようにポツリポツリと民家が並ぶ、山あいの集落。日本の原風景を見ているようです。

先日思いがけず息子と夫の休日が合い、もうすぐ赤ちゃんが生まれて遠出もしばらくできないだろうから…と、いつもの杖立温泉（熊本県小国町）に出掛けました。冬季は凍結することの多い峠も、小春日和だったおかげで通過することができました。

道中、いつもこの辺りの道の駅で休憩したり、道路脇に車を止めて写真を撮っています。東峰村…というと馴染みがない地名かもしれませんが、焼き物の小石原と言えばご存知の方が多いですね。その辺りです。この風景を目の当たりにした時、私も感動して同じ場所からカメラを構えたのですが、さてはてどんな感じに撮れているやら。私とFB友達の方は、いつかTLに上がってくるのを楽しみにお待ちください笑。

こないだ「陣痛きたか？」という痛みがあり（１時間ほどで治まってしまいました）いつ新しいメンバーが増えるか分からない光永家。案外、のんびりとお正月を迎えてしまうかもしれません(*^^*)
お休みに入られた方も、お仕事の方も、どうぞよい年末年始をお迎えくださいね！

Norihito (Nori) is a Wedding/Family/Baby&Child photographer located in Fukuoka, Japan. He uses Canon EOS 5D mark II for his job, and love to take pics on Leica M8 and M4 on his days off.

It's been 3 months since we moved to Kurosaki, Kitakyushu. This picture is the morning rush hour on Route 3 running right in front of Kurosaki station. The light falling through buildings, the reflection on the road and car bodies, and the air of tension in the beginning of the day.

今年の夏より、北九州市の黒崎に住んでいます。黒崎の朝といえば、駅前を通る３号線の通勤ラッシュ。ビルの谷間からこぼれる光、アスファルトや車のボディの照り返し、そして一日のスタートという緊張感。

I'm sending you a street snap this morning. We usually spend Nori's day off together, but yesterday we did not. Can you see a bit of loneliness in this picture?

Have a nice weekend!

今日は久しぶりのストリート・スナップをお届けします。典人の休日には必ず一緒に行動する私なのですが、珍しく別行動だった昨日、写真にもちょっと寂しさが滲んでいますでしょうか(笑)？

よい週末を！

Aug. 25, 2014

一週間が始まりました。子供の夏休みも残り一週間……我が家もやっと通常サイクルに戻れます。

It's a starting day of the week today. Summer vacation for kids ends in a week...I'm glad that the usual everyday life is coming back.

今日は、先月に引越して参りました新居周辺の風景を、Leicaの繊細な描写でお届けします。これ、プリントしたら油絵のような立体感のある写真になるだろうなぁ…と、昨夜PC画面で見せられたときに思いました。
Today's image is a scene around our new place captured with Leica M8, who's touch is fine and dedicate. When my husband, Nori showed me this pic on a laptop display, I felt it will be just like an oil painting if printed on a paper.

今月はあちこちで写真展が開催されていて、私も息子を連れて出掛けているのですが、やっぱりプリントした写真は発信力、伝える力を持っています。
Many photo exhibitions has been held in this month in/around here in Kitakyushu, and I went to see some of the exhibitions. The biggest impression that I had through these photo exhibitions is:

"A Photograph Printed On A Paper Really SPEAKS"

この写真、早くプリントして見てみたいです。I'd like to see this image printed as soon as possible.

Have a nice week! Thank you.

こんばんは。台風８号が明日にも九州上陸とのことですが、今のところ静かな北九州です。
Good evening. It is likely that the super typhoon's going to hit Kyushu tomorrow, but it's quiet and not raining much so far here in Kitakyushu.

今宵はこちらの写真をお届けします。数日前、どーーーうしてもオレンジジュースが飲みたくて仕方がなくなって、典人と一緒に夜中のお買い物に出掛けた時に。霧がかかって幻想的な夜でした。
車の通りが無いのをいいことに、私も典人も道路のど真ん中でしばし撮影に夢中になっていました　笑。
Tonight I'm sending you this picture which Nori took a few days ago when we went on a midnight shopping to get a carton of orange juice cuz I was dying to drink one! It was a fantastic foggy night.
Both of us enjoyed taking pics in the middle of road!
