Another great day of shooting some lanterns around the city of Nagano, Japan. Here’s a black and white shot I recently took near Zenkoji, Temple.

Making the Connection

The bandana around the guys head is what first caught my attention. This is very typical among men working outdoors in Japan regardless of the weather. Construction workers as well can be seen sporting towels wrapped around their heads or neck. It’s very popular and perhaps wise to keep the sweat under control.

A fellow Canon Shooter out taking some photographs of the Zenkoji area. I liked how he gripped the camera along with the lens hood and hat which made for an interesting shot.

That Girl

That Girl happens to be my 4 year old daughter Aily Jacklyn going on 5 in June. Over the last couple of years when she tagged along on my photoshoots she would usually be lagging behind trying to catch up. Gee, I wonder who is slow now. Packed with a new Scooter and taking the stance to show she’s running out of patience, she yells "Bump the Sutterspeed and let’s go!", Juuuust one more shot I always reply.

This shot was taken near the footsteps of Zenkoji Temple in Nagano Japan…her playground.

New Year Fortune Japan

Jim Atwood — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 06:27:13 +0000

This is a typical paper New Year fortune found tied to trees at most temples in Japan. This is located at Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City Japan. I experimented with some selective focusing to try and come up with something interesting with an otherwise ordinary piece of paper with writing on it. This is one of the challenges in photography that I find very exciting and often rewarding. Looking for new ways to shoot mundane or even enteresting objects is a lot of fun.
