Iwago Mitsuaki ―An Animal Photographer

Section 1

Student :

First of all,/why do you like cats?//

Iwago :

Because they are free.// Cats live with people/as pets,/but they are not on a leash.// Cats are beautiful/and perfect.//

S :

Your photos of cats/are always interesting.// How can you/take such wonderful photos?//

I :

I observe the lifestyle of cats/very carefully/before I take photos.// For example,/in a town with many cats,/I watch them/every day.// On cold mornings,/they always come together/in the same place.// The place may be warm/from the sunlight.// So/I go there/in advance/and wait for them.// They naturally sit around me.//
