Band Buddies

A couple of Japanese band buddies walking down the street in Nagano City. I play the guitar and keyboards myself so I have a pretty strong interest in music. I often wondered how heavy those instruments and cases were.

Approaching Monk

Gee, it would be nice to have my own personal umbrella holder...grin. I thought this monk was an interesting looking individual. It looks like a woman to me and a bit triangular.

Blurred Foreground

Played around with blurring the foreground and adding it to the composition of the background. Usually the foreground is crisp and the background is blurred. It's pretty cool thinking in reverse.

Happy New Year! Several photoshoots are booked here in Nagano and I look forward to a fabulous year in 2008! Enjoy!

Yukata Retro

This is a portrait of my wfie "Yoyo" I photographed last summer. She is wearing a traditional Japnese Yukata. This is like a Kimono, but for the summertime.
