On January 17, the photo exhibition "TSUGARU PHOTO MEETING (Tsugaru Photo Meeting) 3rd Anniversary Photo Exhibition" was held at Hyakusekicho Exhibition Hall (Hirosaki City Hyakusekicho).

“TSUGARU PHOTO MEETING” is an organization to which more than 800 amateur photographers from all over Japan, including Aomori and Tokyo and Hokkaido, belong. Members such as beauticians, housewives, and students are posting photos on Facebook's dedicated page.

Mr. Shinji Narita, the representative of the group, exclaims, "I'm doing a "loose" exchange through the camera. Some people just watch, but the people who take the pictures are really just people. The quality of the pictures is high." ..

170 photographs of 74 members will be exhibited at the venue. "Themes are arbitrary, and we tend to avoid photographs of classic spots such as cherry blossoms and Mt. Iwaki in Hirosaki Park," Narita said. It is said that as the number of photo exhibitions has increased, the commitment of the members to the works has become stronger, and many of the members themselves print and frame.

Yuki Narita, a member of the group, exhibited 3 works that show her child playing. He has participated in the exhibition every time and started taking photographs after joining the group. Mr. Narita says, "I'm excited to see a good man's work. I want to take a photo even when I sleep a lot."

Mr. Narita, the representative, said, “I would like young people such as students to visit. It is not the same as looking at a picture taken through the screen of a computer or cell phone and printing it on a frame. I want young people to feel the original goodness of the photograph, which looks different depending on how it hits."

Holding time is from 10:00 to 20:00 (only 18:00 on the last day). free entrance. Until January 22.
