This book ‘Bonjour’ is the last issue of the trilogy of Katsumi Omori and M label after ‘Stars and Stripes’ and ‘incarnation’. 12 photographs, taken in a small island in the Adriatic Sea, one day in autumn of 2009, are composed in same size as the two books previously published. The captured subjects are rabbits. It was purely by chance for Katsumi to see rabbits living quietly and an idea to shoot them in flowing time on an uninhabited island occurred to him. Rabbits were hopping, running, and keeping still silently with light, wind, waves, bushes under clear blue sky. Katsumi wonders to himself what he sees, listens and desires cause that he felt as if time stopped for a while watching rabbits moving, and called out to himself “Bonjour!”. Then, time flew again.
