Japan is full of inventive ways to pack more cars into less space. This is probably one of them, but I am not able to decipher how this one works.

PhotoMarathon: Love
Canon PhotoMarathon Challenge 2016 – Theme #3: Love. This was both a difficult and easy theme at the same time because it was open ended and all around us, but Asians are not so expressive about it so it’s quite hard to find situations that would allow this to be captured strongly. So lo and behold an Caucasian couple sitting down and ordering wine. Another contestant might have photographed them, maybe that would bring down my uniqueness somewhat.

PhotoMarathon: Pride
Canon PhotoMarathon Challenge 2016 – Theme #2: Pride. Somehow the judges interpreted this theme as nationalistic pride (and almost exclusively so) because 6 out of 10 winner photos for this theme contained the national flag in one form or another. Rather one-tracked mind, so I was quite disappointed with the similarity between all the winning photos. I interpreted this theme as taking pride in doing simple or mundane jobs and services which many people would take for granted.

PhotoMarathon: Motion
Canon PhotoMarathon Challenge 2016 – Theme #1: Motion. Original submission to organizers were in JPEG, but this is developed from the raw capture. Manual lens zooming while capturing.

Kyoto: 18-00
Visually, Kyoto feels like it’s full of nooks and crannies filled with random odd things. Like a half-visible car with some excess space on the left which could have been used to park this half-car anyway.

Kyoto: Garden in Nijō 二条
Summer wasn’t exactly the most enjoyable time to be walking around “zen” gardens with very little shade and vast open spaces. However, it was easy to grab a photo with no tourists loitering in your view because everyone stayed out of the heat.

Kyoto: Functional Design
They say first impression is important. And when I got off the airport express train at Kyoto, I noted that the ventilation was designed to look interesting (coincidence?) and that it was extremely clean. I’m pleased to report that the first impression held on throughout the entire stay in Kyoto.
