Turn to Stone Japan

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

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.

Flash Light Motion

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.

Jim Atwood Media Japan

A collection of magazine shots and photographs of myself “Jim Atwood” in media print and shows in Tokyo, Japan. Several photos are from magazines and brochures in Japan. Other photos are when I walked the runway in Tokyo fashion shows. I was also a host and an announcer at fashion presentations in Yokohama, Tokyo, and Nagano. Finally there are some photographs of the many train rides experienced in Japan along with a few in the classroom as an instructor a while back.

Very often I was used in magazines, PR situations, on stage for presentations or seminars, and for doing entertainment or hosting shows in Japan. It has always been a great experience to be an active participant in the many opportunities Japan continues to offer.
