My first Bestseller

create work for yourself…

So my book became a bestseller in Japan. It dropped a little bit down now. But still getting number 1 was pleasently suprising.
I did a lot of commercial photo-books that became bestsellers (but mostly due to celebrities that were in them), but this is the first time when something I created just for my self, became number 1.

And… it does not matter.

I remember when being accepted, understood and being seen meant something for me. I guess it has something to do with developing as a human being. But at some point — I stopped caring. I don`t care if I have hundreds or millilons of followers. If hundreds or thouthands bought my book or seen my work.

All I care is just One. That One person that I suppose to connect at this moment. If one saw my work, bought my book, heard my words, cared — that is enough.
And that is all it matters… And that is all I care about now. Just you and me. At this moment…Cause you are me. And I am you.

Hmmm, I suppose to promote my book. Write how I made it. But I can`t help but being honest. Maybe later…
