I photographed him at the atomic bomb epicenter close to the other locations I photographed the entire project.  All of the portrait locations were taken within 300 feet of each other.  <\/p>\n<p>Yamawaki-san\u2019s portrait was one of the more challenging portraits.  He had a very serious demeanor.  It wasn\u2019t until seeing the print at the exhibition in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallery-ef.com\/e_gallery.htm\">Gallery EF<\/a> did I see the softness in his eyes.  <\/p>\n<p>In the gallery, the serious tone on his face felt lighter and more reflective.  A lot less tension in his face than in my original thoughts.  His shoulders on the print were relaxed and softer around the edges.    <\/p>\n<p>What also felt different about his portrait and conversation was he was the only Hibakusha who spoke English.  It brought a different dynamic to our friendship.  Not that I felt more comfortable with him because we spoke the same language.  I was very comfortable communicating in Japanese through a translator with everyone I met.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/1aaa1.jpg\" alt=\"1aaa\" title=\"1aaa\" width=\"580\" height=\"280\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/1aaa1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/1aaa1-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/1aaaa.jpg\" alt=\"1aaaa\" title=\"1aaaa\" width=\"580\" height=\"265\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/1aaaa.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/1aaaa-300x137.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/1aaaaa.jpg\" alt=\"1aaaaa\" title=\"1aaaaa\" width=\"580\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/1aaaaa.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/1aaaaa-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https:\/\/ssl.\" : \"http:\/\/www.\");\ndocument.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com\/ga.js' type='text\/javascript'%3E%3C\/script%3E\"));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\ntry {\nvar pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-12680478-1\");\npageTracker._trackPageview();\n} catch(err) {}<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>..September 2008 Epicenter, Nagasaki..
