  • Ep.37 When a little girl reached for the elevator button

    Hello my dear friend, I'm so glad you're here!
    Welcome to Episode 37 of Maiko's Story Photograph Podcast :)

    Can you recall a moment from your childhood when you experienced a very subtle emotion? Maybe you saw your friend having something and you also wanted it, you wished to receive something but you didn't, or you acted in a certain way hoping that somebody would treat you in a certain way but they didn't. These moments are so subtle that we may not have recognized any feelings at the time. But sometimes, such a scene visits us as an adult, and we may discover what we felt back then. In today's episode, I will visit with you a subtle emotional moment that took place in my childhood.

    Now, make yourself a cup of tea, and let's spend the 6 minutes together in the cozy room of a story photograph!

  • Ep.36 A strange method to 'heal' a wound

    Hello my dear friend, I'm so glad you're here!
    Welcome to Episode 36 of Maiko's Story Photograph Podcast :)

    There are many reasons why we may not share our stories with others. Sometimes, it's because the story feels too delicate and private. Sometimes, it's because we feel the story can provoke a strong emotion for us or for the other person. Other times, we don't share because the story feels too silly to tell others. Today's story belongs to the last category. It's about one very silly incident that happened when I was eight years old. What silly but unforgettable memories do you have?

    Now, make yourself a cup of tea, and let's spend the 6 minutes together in the cozy room of a story photograph!

    Hello my dear friend, I'm so glad you're here!
    Welcome to Episode 35 of Maiko's Story Photograph Podcast :)

    As the summer reaches its peak here in Ottawa, I recall memories from different summers in my life. The one I'll be sharing with you in this episode is from the summer when I was four and lived with my grandmother. During my stay, one big summer festival took place in the community, and that experience inspired me to organize a special evening festival for me and my grandmother at home. A strange activity looked from outside was a truly memorable and fun time for the two of us. What strange, fun activity did you enjoy when you were little?

  • Ep.31 A Daddy's Negotiation

    Hello my dear friend, I'm so glad you're here!
    Welcome to Episode 31 of Maiko's Story Photograph Podcast :)

    Sometimes, a story that we hear from somebody else can stay in our memory and we remember it as if it were our own. What I share with you in this episode is a story I heard from my physics teacher when I was a high school student in Japan. It was one funny episode that he and his two-year-old daughter had encountered during their regular park visit. Recently, when I suddenly remembered the story, it made me laugh again. As you listen to this episode, I wonder what funny story you heard from other people might come back to you.

  • Ep.30 Memory of a Lonely Election

    Hello my dear friend, I'm so glad you're here!
    Welcome to Episode 30 of Maiko's Story Photograph Podcast :)

    Are you somebody who likes walking on a big street bustling with people and events or a quiet backstreet with less people and attractions? If this were a metaphor of your social life, which do you see yourself walking on? As far as I remember, I've always been somebody who walks on a backstreet, most of the times unintentionally. I think I'm walking on a busy main road until one day I realize that I'm again on a deserted backstreet. But walking on a backstreet also has its perks of discovering interesting details and meeting unique people. In this episode, I share with you a story when I was in junior high school and ran for a school election. It turned out to be another backstreet experience, but with unforgettable encounters.

    Now, make yourself a cup of tea, and let's spend the 6 minutes together in the cozy room of a story photograph!

  • Ep.29 "You gotta dress up."

    Hello my dear friend, I'm so glad you're here!
    Welcome to Episode 29 of Maiko's Story Photograph Podcast :)

    Are you somebody who cares deeply about looking nice before going out by making a conscious choice of clothing, styling your hair and putting on some make-up? Or are you somebody who are satisfied as long as you look decent and rather prefer to leave home right away? I'm in the latter group, but I have seen many people who are dedicated to pre-outing preparation. In today's story, I share a memory with my elder cousin who was so passionate about dressing up before outing that one day it led to a rather comical situation.
