It's about conversations and relationships.






















An interview extract from SEDE:

Why is it named "here and there"? Is it because of a connection between Japan & other cities?

Can I tell you the truth? "here and there" is not about a concept, but more about conversations and relationships. One day I was talking with my friend Elein Fleiss through the internet, it was just when internet appeared as something common ... So I sent her an email saying "I'm going to New Jersey. Why don't we mix our photos and make a book with them?" It was really fun to exchange the photos, so we did that and it was a completely horizontal mix of one picture of Hawaii, and one of New Jersey, one of Hawaii ... like that ... and I asked her what title should we put to this, and she said "What about "here and there"?" I used to travel a lot and traveling was also an inspiration, so I thought it could also be a nice title for a magazine.
