Message from the photographer
Despite the obstacles she faces, she keeps moving forward, positively; the sense of her passion for life really grips me. Thinking “I want that too,” I receive strength and encouragement from her example. I may face many obstacles in the coming years of my life, but hope I won't be afraid and that I'll have courage to open the way for a bright future.
I love “Yuka,” the dear friend who is my source of courage.
About the subject
She has been my best friend in high school. We got to know each other when we paired up for a doubles match in our badminton club. I chose her as my subject because we have been through a lot together, and also because I like her very much.
