One of My Inspirational People, Mizushima Hiro^^
I love watching japanese dorama best :) .I watch it almost everyday, in my spare time at night and sometimes until the dawn, kekeke :D. When I feel down for no reason, have no passion and no books to read, watching japanese dorama can be the one of my solution to make me feel better. At least, when I haven't enough time to go out for refreshing, it still make me consoled.
From those "unstoppable" hobby, I got to know him for the first time. First, when he acted as Nanba Minami [ Nanba Senpai ] in Hanazakari no Kimitachi e or Hana Kimi, then as well at Lovely Complex, Zettai Kareshi, Gokusen, Mei-chan no Shitsuji and also at Kanojo to no Tadashii Asobikata. I wish I could watch 100 Scene no Koi, Tokyo Dogs, Mr. Brain, BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad too, where he acted as the main role.

[ Nanba Senpai ] in Hana Kimi
My first impressions of him was ordinary, nothing seemed special until I found more about his early life and career. For me, at first he was just a cute actor who fit funny character in both of his face expressions and his actions perfectly, but then I did thought of him that he had more talents than that, after I learned more about him.
His early life:*taken from wikipedia.org*
*Mizushima was born in Tokyo on 13 April 1984. He has one older sister. When he was six years old, his family moved from Japan to Switzerland due to his father's job. He lived in Zurich, Switzerland for six years, where he became fluent in English and developed an interest in soccer. His family returned to Japan when he was twelve years old.
Mizushima went to the junior high school and the high school of Toin Gakuen and belonged to the soccer club of the school. When he was in the twelfth grade, he worked as a regularmidfielder in The 81st All Japan High School Soccer Tournament. His team advanced to the semifinals, but, they were defeated by Kunimi High School that had Sota Hirayama who played in the U-20 FIFA Youth Championship.
In April, 2003, Mizushima entered the Faculty of Environmental Information, Keio University. (He graduated in March 2008.)
In 2004, Mizushima began to work as a fashion model to earn money to study abroad while at college. Then he worked modelling in the fashion show for a while. However, he was spotted and recruited as a potential actor by the acting agency Ken-On and transferred from the modeling agency Gig Management Japan to Ken-On.*
This were 6 reasons why I added him to my list of inspirational people:
- He graduated from the Faculty of Environmental Information, Keio University. Keio University was known as the oldest institute of higher education in Japan. In Keio or Keidai, Hiro was majoring Policy. No one could ever doubt his cleverness since he could make Keidai as his college. He also became fluent in English and Japanese as a result of his early life in Switzerland. Majoring Policy in Keidai, fluent in English and Japanese, those 2 reason was enough to make me proud of him, and someday, I wish I could be accepted in Keidai too, so we could became the same alumny, kekeke :D I'd love to meet him in such alumny event [ day dreaming :P ]
- He worked to earn money to study abroad while at college. From my college days in this past 5 years, there was a moment when I earned money for savings by worked in projects, maybe just 3 times :( and I was happy I had those experience, although, compared with my friends in the same major I was still lack of experience to earn money by worked in project. From those experience, I did thought that both worked in project and earned money wasn't as easy as it seemed ('_'), so that, I thought Hiro was great because of his effort. Worked to earn money to study abroad while at college? I was still couldn't make it!! T.T
- He get married and always support his wife, Ayaka who battles with graves disease. Get married with someone means we must share happy and sad each other. And Hiro proved it! He married Ayaka, despite the fact that he knew she had graves disease. He always there to support Ayaka when she has struggle with her disease. He once said to his fans that he did it in order that Ayaka fans will accept him to marry Ayaka and give their trust that he'll make her happy and have no regret for marry him. Because of this, once again, I feel touched by the gentle of Hiro :).
- He left his career as an actor to pursue a writing career
Kagerou, his very first book
Hiro take the decision to left his career as an actor in time when he is at the top of his career. The reason behind his decision was to pursue a writing career. He didn't have any experience in writing before, but he said, to be a writer is one of his dream. When he began his career as an actor, his parents declined his decision because they didn't have faith in him that he'll be a successful actor in the future. Then he proved it to his parents until he finally became one of the succesful actor in Japan. *Both Hana Kimi and Zettai Kareshi where he was took the main role were became the most popular dramas of Japan at the time of their airing*. But, not long after those achievement, he left his talent agency and begin to write his very first novel entitled "Kagerou" [ written under the pen name Saito Tomohiro, which is also his real name ]. Public didn't know Hiro debut as a writer until he won the 5th Poplar Publishing Grand Prize for Fiction which one more time also became his proof as a successful writer. The things I like from him except his stubborness in pursue his dreams and take the decision whatever that might happen later was his generous for declined the prize money and instead requested the organizers that it be used to promote literature in Japan.
Mizushima Hiro, you're just too good to be true.. :)
You make me learn the importance of keeping my dreams alive and the effort I must make to pursue my dreams..

Dear: SAHABAT..
Teman,
Tak sabar kunantikan mentari pagi menjelang Agar aku bisa menatapmu tampak menawan
Dengan setelan hitam-putih berdasi
Bersiap hadapi hari yang paling menentukan
Dan ku harap malam ini cepat berlalu
Agar terasa singkat waktuku
Menunggumu di ujung sudut
Dengan senyum haru di bibirku
Lalu memelukmu seraya berucap:
"Selamat.. Gefeliciteerd"Selamat menyongsong hari yang baru
Selamat menyambut masa depanmu
Selamat berjuang wujudkan impian
Kawan,
Ijinkan aku tersenyum untukmu sekali lagi
Ketika ku tau nanti
Impian itu terwujud pasti
Keep Your DREAMS alive!!!
Hujan..
Duduk telungkup mendekap lutut
Merelakan senja yang tak jua datang
Hujan pun berselang
Membawa udara dingin yang merambat
Memenuhi cakrawala
Di setiap sudut langit luas yang membentang
Di atas tempatku berpijak
Bintang selaksa malu pancarkan sinarnya

Resensi Film Dokumenter, War Photographer
Peraih Academy Award Nominee (Best Documentary Feature)
"I have been a witness, and these pictures aremy testimony. The events I have recorded shouldnot be forgotten and must not be repeated." - James Nachtwey -
Film ini dibuka dengan kutipan dari Robert Capa yang berbunyi:
"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough".
Dirilis tahun 2001, War Photographer adalah film dokumenter dari seorang wartawan foto freelance yang bernama James Nachtwey. Karyanya sering muncul di majalah Time, kantor berita Associated Press dan media internasional lainnya. Dia telah memotret perang dan konflik di banyak negara, termasuk Indonesia. Ketangkasan dan kejeliannya dalam meliput perang dan konflik lalu menyajikannya dalam bentuk fotografi jurnalistik menobatkannya sebagai "The World's Most Famous War Photographer".

James Nachtwey
|
War Photographer menampilkan petualangan James saat memotret perang di Kosovo, Hamburg, South Africa, Palestine, New York (Tragedi WTC, 11 September 2001), Switzerland, konflik tumbangnya rezim orde lama - Soeharto di Jakarta dan diakhiri oleh scene saat ia memotret aktivitas para pekerja tambang di Kawah Ijen, Jawa Timur. Di Jakarta, tahun 1998, selain menjadi saksi tumbangnya rezim orde lama, James juga menyusuri beberapa tempat yang berada di bawah garis kemiskinan. Potret sarat pesan sosial seperti seorang bapak (hanya memiliki satu lengan dan satu kaki) sedang memandikan anaknya di tepi rel kereta api, seorang pengemis berkaki buntung di jalanan kota, dll ia dapatkan di sana. Melengkapi karya-karyanya yang memang fenomenal.
Tak banyak narasi di War Photographer, hanya sekelumit pandangan tentang sosok 'hebat' James di mata teman-teman dekatnya dan selebihnya adalah rekaman ketika James terjun langsung di TKP, memotret obyeknya dalam 'tekanan situasi'. Sedikit saja salah melangkah nyawa James taruhannya. Yang membuatku bergidik saat melihat War Photographer adalah ketika ditampilkan karya-karya James (James Nachtwey Testimony) di International Center of Photography yang berhasil mengaduk-aduk emosiku. Salah satu contohnya adalah potret tragis seonggok mayat dengan usus terburai keluar. Semua karya James berusaha menceritakan kepada dunia tentang apa yang ia lihat dengan matanya, seperti dikutip oleh The New York Times,
"Startling, engrossing! See the world through Nachtwey's eyes".
Menyaksikan 'keberanian' James atau bisa jadi 'kenekadan' James saat menghadapi situasi-situasi ekstrim yang hanya beberapa ratus meter di hadapannya membuatku berfikir mungkin urat ketakutannya telah putus.
Saat James berada di South Africa pada 1994, Ken Oosterbroek, South African Photographer dan dua jurnalis lainnya mati tertembak tepat di sampingnya. James dalam bahaya saat itu, karena setiap waktu ia berada dalam bidikan senapan, tapi James tetap tenang. Pacuan adrenalin dan ketakutan akan kematian bagi James adalah untuk merasakan bahwa ia masih hidup.
"James at his best, in the most extreme situation. That's it. He keeps on pushing those limits".
Satu lagi yang menambah daftar kekagumanku pada sosok seorang James Nachtwey adalah kesederhanaan yang menjauhkannya dari title yang dimilikinya,"The World's Most Famous War Photographer". Berpenampilan casual, sedikit acak-acakan tapi apa adanya adalah ciri khas James. Hampir di semua scene yang ada di War Photographer penampilan James didominasi oleh t-shirt, jeans/celana cargo pendek, tas punggung, sepatu kets, dan tentunya nametag yang setia menggantung di lehernya. Soal perangkat kerjanya? Jangan ditanya lagi. Senjata pamungkas fotografer sekaliber James adalah 2 Canon T-90, wide angle atau lensa 50 mm dan 16-35 mm, tanpa flash, fitur 400 tmax film hitam dan putih dan sebuah Minolta lightmeter.
Aku kira setiap orang yang melihat karya-karya James Nachtwey pasti akan kehabisan kata-kata. Seolah membenarkan sebuah ungkapan yang cukup tenar di kalangan para fotografer,"Biar foto yang bicara". Sosok seorang James Nachtwey, dapat kita jadikan sebagai sosok fotografer inspirator yang mendorong kita untuk berkarya lebih baik lagi. Mereka mengajarkan kepada kita, seberat apapun tekanan situasi dan tantangan yang mengancam di hadapan kita, tak akan bisa menyurutkan keinginan untuk menghasilkan karya yang membuka mata dunia.
Salam Jepret dan terimakasih^_^
