Thank you for waiting for a very long time.
It's been completely untouched for over a year since I last updated my blog.
Please note that it is "selfish".
Was it too long anyway?
Meanwhile, the caretaker left Japan for a while and was active in Kenya, Africa.
Or rather, it is still Kenya.
The activity is not related to photography, but as a member of a certain NGO, I was involved in a construction project in a village about 250 km away from Nairobi.
What I was doing was building a toilet and a kitchen for school lunches as part of improving the health and hygiene of kindergarten children.
It's a completely different field, but it's a connection to Africa.
I wasn't away from the shooting job at all, and during the period I climbed Kilimanjaro and occasionally messed with the camera.
I will post a photo of the building I built for the time being.
Lunch kitchen near the end
The photo above is the school lunch kitchen that was involved in the construction. It is quite huge with a width of 7.5 meters.
So much that the painting of the base on the outer wall surface became meaningless, it was drawn in various ways without any gaps.
I'm a little worried about repairing when the paint is damaged later,
Well, it doesn't interfere with the role of the kitchen, so I don't care.
The manager was not involved in drawing this building, so I was surprised when it was completed.
This is the first construction. 6-door toilet
The photo above is the first toilet constructed in this project.
Of course, it's not a wash, but a Botton toilet.
The ground was strong and the construction cost was suppressed, but it was too strong and people who were digging holes could not dig in the middle and escaped. I was planning to dig it to a depth of 6 meters, but it is half that of 3 meters, and it is supported by installing a suction port. Even at a depth of 3 meters, it seems that there will be no problem at all because it is said that it will last for more than 10 years with the use of kindergarten children with less than 100 students.
The rainwater received on the roof is collected in 1000 liter water tanks for both men and women and guided to the faucet of the restroom.
Pictures are drawn on the outer wall to educate children to wash their hands.
We ask each local artist to draw.
This time, I learned a lot through construction for a year.
The contract period ended earlier this year, and the caretaker became the original cameraman again.
For the time being, as the first step, although it was a long time ago, I tried to summarize the state of the young goshawk in 2017 with a video.
It has already been edited and will be shown on the next blog.
I hope you will take a look.
Well, then, I'm looking forward to working with you.
