In the intro, that shot of the guy's reflection in the moving train, was beautiful. Just wanted to share my appreciation before watching the rest of the video. Thanks

Thank you for another wonderful essay on photography. Your videos drive me to go out and take pictures as opposed to worrying about gear.

[@ToshikiYukawaphoto]

So glad you felt so. Thank you!

I think this is a very insightful application. It is less about finding a visual aesthetic, and more about getting to the root of why we take photos. I think that this mindset is crucial for growth as a photographer, or just a creative person in general. To get to the source of why you, the artist, are driven to create in the first place, without seeking external validation. It seems that it should not be obvious to the outsider that someone is practicing "zen photography". The practitioner is the one who benefits not by their photos, but by their personal discovery.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts. And thank you for your support!

Your channel is unique, a completely different perspective on photography. I think a lot of us needed this to start enjoying taking pictures again, without the constant pursuit of better equipment, more likes, etc. You're doing a great job, thanks.

The human beauty inside yourself comes flooding out in this, your art. And it brings me much joy. Thank you. I've been seeking Zen for most of my long life, and this documentation of it is the best I have ever seen, Eugen Herrigel and Alan Watts notwithstanding. If I have found any contentment in photography, it is in the happiness my own works give me, what you might suggest is the merit. You are a treasure.

An excellent video describing a contemplative approach to photography, eastern culture and the discovery of self … merci! 📷🙂

[@jeetts59]

Thank you very much for such a wonderful insight to Zen. That short video has given me inspiration to learn more about why I take photos and to look deeper into myself.

[@ToshikiYukawaphoto]

So glad it was helpful!

[@Elaleruiz]

I really appreciate your videos, they have helped me think and reflect. I have been able to verify that, despite being a clumsy result of Western culture, many of my "intuitions" were not far from your points. However, the road is still long. I like to spend these good moments with you and it gives me great pleasure to hear the caw of a crow, it is a bird that I love for its mysterious intelligence. Thank you so much.

[@ToshikiYukawaphoto]

Thank you for watching my videos and sharing your toughts. So glad my videos are helpful to you!
