This is the image which is not the best, but I value it most of all.

Why? It will be hard to describe. This is nearly the middle of my shooting sequence, which can be divided to "before" and "after". "Before", I wasn't so familiar with SD10; I liked it from the start, but it didn't respond to me. I had some worries and I wasn't certain in what I'm doing. But this shot was the turning point. I realized that the camera responds to me the way I can feel - warm, subtle, whispering, yet firm confidence.

This was like revelation, in that silent, after-rain solitude, a child in red coat who came off a group of the same red chairs, chairs were look-alike, unmovable, breathless, and he became alive, just now, going his own way, just like me who stood there watching...

My worries have came to an end that day.
