[ Day 10 - Derelict ]

(Following @isaacleejiehao ’s date log since he touched base here 1 week ago)

Coming to Ishinomaki, this place is, in all honesty and awe, the most desolate compared to all the cities I have ever visited in Japan. The buildings are low-rising and sparse, and the grey rainclouds spread evenly across the sky. There is a typhoon in town these few days, and hopefully when it subsides we can go full force in our activities here. The conditions of our accommodation here aren’t the best, but a bed, shelter and wifi is all we need to work with right now and I’m grateful for this.

I have started to shoot more on my DSLR than with my phone camera in light of the photobook we hope to produce, and so instagram updates may not be as frequent. Nonetheless we’ll strive to keep constant updates as we trudge through this chaotic vast landscape of nothingness which amidst all the gloom, it seems, still possesses semblances of hope for recovery.
