"I feel very fortunate to know Stuart Gibson. His photographs not only bring a smile to my face for their originality, but also give me a deep appreciation for what he shows us of Kyoto. Stuart is not flamboyant like many photographers these days. He is direct, measured and confident in what he sees. The best of his images are fresh and without pretension. Going on a slow walk with Stuart through the back streets of Kyoto, of which he is intimately familiar, is an opportunity to experience not only the richness of nature and culture here, but an approach to seeing that teaches us patience and clarity."
