The warmth of a summer night when I was a child was filled with magic…firefly magic. The bobbing little lanterns would float delicately above the grass blades as though the wind had carried in wondrous torches for my childish fantasies to follow. We kids would run around the grass chasing them with joy, because we thought that we could capture a little bit of that magic in our warm little palms. Our jars would fill with these wondrous creatures, until we set them free because we knew that’s what was meant to be.
I came across some amazing images taken by Tsuneaki Hiramatsu that caused the same bated breath I experienced as a child full of dreams. These images are everything that was right about childhood. These images should be carried around as adults so that we remember that same joyful place where everything was a beautiful dream.
