TV Love Japan

Posted on April 24, 2008 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

I saw these two old televisions propped up atop an old refridgerator and thought they were instantly in love….laugh. Although people throw lots of stuff like this away in Japan, I haven’t seen anything like this for a while. I also thought it was interesting how the two TVs were the same size, but the back end had a different design. Fun shot I thought.

Taxi Japan!

Posted on April 19, 2008 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

Taxis are often found lined up along side of the road waiting for customers. In Nagano the taxis literally are in line waiting for the next client as you have to grab a taxi from the head of the line first. The drivers are very good about this and will usher you to the front if necessary. This may not be true in other parts of Japan like Tokyo, but here these guys definitely play fair.

Tree Trimming Japan

Posted on April 19, 2008 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

If you look at my previous shot, you’ll see that this guy looks a bit older and is smoking a cigarette…on the job too. This gentelman is most likely the supervisor or leader of the group. In Japan if you are the supervisor you’re often seen with cigarette in one hand and finger pointing with the other…laugh. In any case, this guy is out working hard it seems so I give him credit for leading by example.

Sakura Delight

Posted on April 16, 2008 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

These Sakura flowers really have a lot of character I think. This one I especially liked and the greenish yellow background is a small tree. At the right angle I was able to capture this particular part of the Sakura tree and fill the background almost completely with the small yellow tree behind it. Tweaked the side of my body a bit, but I finally got it right after a few shots.
