Field notes
The portfolio sorts projects along a logarithmic scale of represented time, from a glance through exposures and composites lasting up to about a month; the Ancestral Recall entry marks the decades between photographs by Toshio and his grandfather. The artist says he builds cameras, lenses, and programs, drawing on factory equipment-maintenance work. The About section lists a 2026 landscape-contest grand prize and 2026 Hamamatsu exhibitions, alongside earlier maker-faire and gallery appearances.
