Jim Atwood Media Japan

Jim Atwood — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 11:49:49 +0000

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.

Jim Atwood Photography on the move!

Self Portrait Car Profile – It’s quite limiting sitting in the car and looking for ways to do self portraits. In this photo I had the Nikon D70s setting on the steering wheel. I had it focused for a certain distance and I pressed the shutter with my left hand. Tricky but it worked. I usually keep my old Nikon D70s and the Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8 lens in the back seat of my car for those moments when I’m either bored or need a camera fast. You never know what you might run into!

Taxi Japan!

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.

Spiritual Change

Jim Atwood — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:46:36 +0000

Located at Zenkoji, this is a sort of wishing well where people donate money in return for a spiritual wish. On this particular day there was quite a lot of change in the water.

Step Right In!

This is a doorway to one of the many nice Ryokans located around Zenkoji Temple in Nagano Japan. I thought this had a nice, warm, golden feel to it. I like Ryokans or Japanese Inns very much in Japan.

Gateway to Zenkoji Nagano Japan

Jim Atwood — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 23:24:10 +0000

This is the newly refurbished gateway to Zenkoji, Temple in Nagano City Japan. It was completed less than a month ago for the 2008 New Year Festivities. This year Zenkoji will probably attract more people than usual as the whole area will pretty much be redone by that time.

Snack Bars R Us Japan

Jim Atwood — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:31:01 +0000

Well I’m not necessarily talking about bars where you eat chips and candybars, but close. These are signs common to almost every city in Japan. Each one displays the name to a snack bar that serves drinks and small snack food. In addition and perhaps more important you they also provide entertainment at an expense of course. The entertainment includes karaoke, talking with hostess gals, games, and other things. Some are expensive and others are reasonbly priced.
