Photographer Ueda has brought an incredible book from the american forests. The trees standing mute in thick green darkness, only to reveal the most secret fluorescent light.
"After the shoot, as first Osako, then Gary took turns looking through the viewfinder, I heard him utter: 'Virgin forest'. And very well said it was. For even as I trembled at what I had seen, might not the forest itself have also trembled at being seen?" Ueda, from the foreword.
