Turn to Stone Japan

Turn to Stone Japan

Posted on August 14, 2009 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

I’m always looking for a different approach when taking photographs of either similar or the same subject. I thought the closeup, angle, and design of the Kanji character provided an interesting perspective.

Zenkoji Temple Gateway Japan

Posted on August 12, 2009 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

The Great Zenkoji Template Gateway in Nagano City, Japan. The size of this gateway is awesome. It is also newly rebuilt and finished just last winter. You can enter the gateway and take stairs to the top for a birds eye view of the Zenkoji Temple grounds. It’s quite a site and a must see if you visit Nagano city. This week during Obon week there are many events and festivals in the area. This video was taken with the Creative Vado HD pocket camcorder. Video by Jim Atwood Photography at http://jimatwood.net.

I moved the camera a bit to get a motion blur effect. The background is a blue plastic tarp with holes in it. There is also a second layer of rope in the background. I particularly like the blue tones and the slight 3D feel of the photograph.

Kanji Japan is a photography collection of Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji that make up the Japanese writing system. I find these writing characters to be an artform in itself and are a joy to photograph. Images were taken by Jim Atwood Photography at http://www.jimatwood.net in Nagoya, Tokyo, Yokohama, and Nagano Japan.
