It is with great sadness that I write to tell you Luis Alonso Ocaña
has passed away. He was a truly blessed and loved photographer.
His books ''Santiago-Kumano'', ''Samos, Espírito do Camiño''
as long as thousands of  award-winning his works made us see the world
in a different way. He was a man of intelligence, endless curiosity, wit,
and mostly an empowered person.

He was a creative and profound thinker, not to mention highly professional
in his output.
''The Light let us navigate and look out over invisible things.''
This is what he told us at the joint show held in 2008.
The theme of the show was ''Light and Shadow''.

He told me that he would come back to Tokyo 2 years later, and stay for months.
This is the year, he is supposed to be.
I am sure his Tokio photos will influence us deeply.
Thinking back, definitely I wanted to see his Tokio again.
He was such a great seeker, and certainly sent the Light in his photos.
His works showed us various light, nothing but the Light indeed.
I miss him so much.
