I had opportunity to photograph Chaka Khan couple years ago. It was at the music video shoot for Japanese Artist Ai for the song Chaka collaborate with her. It was amazing to witness great artists collaborate and share thru music.
I used to listen FEN radio that was the only 'juicy' resources/radio that can feel american radio back then. I mean... way before "internet" era. It was very limited in japan. Her voice was from that radio and America was far & surreal. Well, now I live in the US. When I photograph legends like her or artists i grew up listening& etc, someho, it doesn't feel surreal or anything on the site, however when I really think about it, it's crazy how the life goes to the place you never imagined. How i could image to.. well, first live in that "surreal' place, then even meet her in person... the person whose voice was from that little radio...? This photo made me think about it today.
Photography let me meet people or places whom I would not meet or go nor experience if i were not photographer. And allow me to feel vibe, energy and all kinds of stuffs. It's absoluely one of the factors i love doing what i do.
