Bizarre new look at life from a bug's eye view
Bizarre new look at life from a bug's eye view
Originally from Asahi Shimbun (Japan)
There are many haiku poems about split-second movements made by insects. A haiku by Suju Takano, printed in the "Oriori no Uta" (A Poet's Notebook) section of the July 20 issue of The Asahi Shimbun, depicted the moment when a ladybird opens its wings and takes off.
Satoshi Kuribayashi, a 67-year-old nature photographer, captures such scenes on film. Kuribayashi's latest book, titled "Kuribayashi Satoshi no Konchu Wonderland" (Satoshi Kuribayashi's insect wonderland) and published by The Asahi Shimbun, contains photos that invariably wow children and adults alike. There is nothing special about close-up pictures of insects, but what sets Kuribayashi's work apart is that the backgrounds against which the insects are portrayed are also in sharp, crisp focus.
