西へ出張。

ご無沙汰の更新になりました。
パキスタンから帰って数日、今度は日本の西の端、
与那国島へと取材へ行ってまいりました。

パキで撮った写真のセレクト、レイアウトの打ち合わせで慌しいままに
休む間もなく、イスラマバードで壊れた体を引きずってオキナワへ。
とてもハードでしたが、なかなかこんなチャンスはないですからね。

After the northern Pakistan,
I went to Japanese westernmost island YONAGUNI-JIMA（与那国島）.
It was also my work, not private trip.
So, it was very busy in island. But it was first time for me that I visit this island.
Ocean landscape, conversation with local fishermen...
Was really good experience for me.

About this trip will be published on RITOKEI soon.
Please Check it. :)

撮影のお仕事でパキスタンに来ています。
昨日撮影地のパキスタン北部地域を出発。
今日は首都であるイスラマバードに戻ってきました。

北部の都市ギルギットまでは国内線の飛行機で一時間なのですが
天候が悪ければ陸路で2日かけての移動になります。
一時間か二日間か。まさしくインシュアッラーなのですが、
往路は国際線が10時間以上遅れた上に陸路となり、丸三日。
帰りは順調で国内線も飛んでくれました。

撮影も終わって、ほっとひといき。
明日はのんびりと、カメラ片手に
ラワールピンディという街を見て回ろうと思います。

Now I'm in Pakistan Islamabad.
I came to this country for work as photographer.
Stayed 5days in northern Pakistan and now just arrived Isalamabad from Gilgit.
On the go way, domestic flight had been canceled and I went by car, it took 2days.
Back way, I could fly and took only 1hr.
I've finished most of my work in this country.
Now I'm in peace. And enjoy more 1day in Pakistan.

My Nepali friend.

Let me introduce my best Nepali friend,
Arjun Pandey.

He's very kind and gentle guy, and he helped me so much when I was in Nepal.
He has worked as travel guide for many years, has much experience of trekking.

Always he gave me good information about travelling Nepal in his fluent English with smile.
When I had troubles, he really worried about me and gave me many helps.
He's good guy. and my real friend.

When you go to Kathmandu Nepal, Visit Thamel and knock the door of his office.
And say "I'm Sinh's friend".
You would have good time with him.
