Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
"The Eternal Journey of Time" includes Michio Hoshino's unpublished photographs and his last diary in Siberia. It is a review and tribute to Michio Hoshino's epic photography career. Michio Hoshino used his lens to capture the beauty of nature and the fragility and strength of life, and recorded the polar scenery, animals and people with the purest love. His words are as simple and warm as his images. Every journey is a touching "spiritual journey". Michio Hoshino once said: "When my life is about to come to an end, I hope my life can end in Alaska." He dedicated the most youthful years of his life to this far north, and this place also became his final resting place. He used his lens to leave us those precious lives and scenery that are about to disappear, and also wrote the eternal dialogue between man and nature.
