Especially the Maiko and the plum branch (is it a plum?) are astonishing! Indeed it seems slightly different than your usual style.
I can relate to your “seeing things”. Sometimes when I am in Taiwan, I to tend to just shoot away, and it is good to sometimes just sit down and watch the world go by. It is at these moments that you can almost see someone’s life “where does that person go, where did he/she came from?”, and sometimes I feel myself pondering about the history of people and objects. It’s is quite an enlightening experience.

As it turned out, I ended up postponing my trip to Japan. Work just does NOT allow me to take a break. In fact, I was forced to carry over a weeks worth of holidays to next year. But thank you for the suggestions you emailed me Jeff! I hope to go around easter in the coming year, hopefully I can catch some of the cherry blossoms. I also have a friend who now lives in Nagoya, which is a stone’s throw away from Kyoto, so I am also seeing opportunities there ^_^

Your Kyoto photos are excellent. Genuine Suishicam style: Saturated colors yet simple and elegant pictures. Bravo.

Cheers,

Tregix.

I have been following your blog for quite a while and always enjoy your production and posts, thanks a lot for sharing and congrats on the very nice images.

As a japan-based amateur photographer myself, I would love to share a beer/umeshu next year if you have time, do not hesitate to drop me a line by email when it is convenient for you.

Best regards,

Alain

I particularly like the incense and the shout out from inside the temple. I can’t believe how shallow the depth of field is on that incense picture, just amazing.

I am still interested is seeing what the medium format can do, and if you have a film back for it, how the film and digital compare. Maybe you will have to plan that for a more local trip, like Kamakura, where the extra weight won’t be a back breaker…
