2011 Photo Journal of Shinya Takeda, Japan

Year 2011 became the most harsh year in my life.
The earthquake, tsunami, nuclear power plants accident, and TPP...
Especially the nuclear accident made me think that we might not be able to live in Tokyo area in the future, and everything I had been doing would vanish in vain.
Where Japan is going to? Should I leave? or should I stay? Where I am going to end up? many many thoughts came across my mind.

Not only that, but many people who were important to me left Japan and I lost the biggest supports in my life.

The situation I faced this year was something beyond my imagination.
I never even imagined this in nightmare.
These accidents chased me to the edge.
Love, sorrow, broken hearts, loneliness, happiness and all other emotions stroke me.

I had to be tough, so I had to play with the cards of the diamonds to protect myself to survive this year.

But I realized that the diamonds was not the shape of my heart. It was the hearts that I should always have used.

So from 2012, I will only use the cards of the hearts.

Happy New Year!!!
