The Golden Hook Japan

The Hook is another interesting kanji character in calligraphy form found often around temples and shrines in Japan. I like the color contrast and scratchy feel of the photo.

Sunflower Sun Japan

Sunflower Sun shows how big these guys can get. They are massive at times. I wanted to show more of the sunflower here, but honestly the background left a lot to be desired. Instead I elected to get down low and shoot at an angle to give add dimension and size. The petals are aging as you can see, but the central part of the sunflower is amazing. The detail is just astonishing to look at on these sunflowers.

Pigeon in Grunge Japan

These birds are abundant in Japan and quite frankly they bother me more than I enjoy them. They are extremely aggressive when you have food around and I think they come much too close to kids and me sometimes. With that said, they occasionally make for some interesting subjects and I particularly liked this shot with the grunge and off color background.

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.

Urban Street Art Japan

Jim Atwood — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:10:12 +0000

Japan is full of colorful and artistic graffiti these days. When I first arrived in Japan over 17 years ago, you didn’t encounter much street graffiti or city art, but these days tagging and character art is all over the place. In even smaller countryside cities like Nagano you find graffiti very common. This is due in part to the aging of the city and not enough new construction projects. It is also because there is a growing interest among young urban artists to do graffiti. Plus, the police in Japan do absolutely nothing about it. So it’s pretty much free reign these days for Graffiti artists to run rampant spraying their thoughts on the city walls and street buildings. As a photographer, this just means more cool and interesting subjects to photograph. The video below is a collection of Graffit shots I took in Nagano and Nagoya cities in Japan. Enjoy!

Kanji Japan by Jim Atwood Photography

Jim Atwood — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:46:42 +0000

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.
