Resonance in Paper and Time

It began with a photograph - a faded print from my father’s days in Vietnam.
A woman stands beneath a corrugated roof, her dress blooming with color even as the years have dulled the ink.
She sings, guitar cradled close, her voice long vanished but somehow still echoing through the grain of the paper.

Decades later, I found myself in Tokyo, camera in hand, drawn to a singer on a small stage — another woman, another guitar, another fleeting song.
I pressed the shutter without thought, the way instinct takes over when something ancient stirs within you.

Only now, holding both prints, do I see the invisible thread: his world and mine, bound by melody and light, by the way we both looked for stillness inside sound.

The colors have changed - his washed in time, mine tinted by early digital experiments - yet both breathe with the same pulse.

That’s the magic of the print.
It doesn’t just preserve an image - it carries a conversation between generations, between moments that never knew each other but somehow share the same heartbeat.

Every print, I’ve learned, is a bridge - a quiet resonance across paper and time.
