Singer Sewing Machines
I saw these sewing machines on a bench in Kyoto. Why there would be a collection of old Singer sewing machines like this, I do not know. Any suggestions?
Gone Shopping
I’ve justed updated my website with a “Gone Shopping” theme under the Editorial section. This is an area of photography that has interested me for a while and it’s all about the places people go shopping or obtain services like getting a haircut. I intend to pursue this theme further over the coming months…
Produced by UKIYA
I found the style of buildings interesting, along with the entrances.
This is a typical shop look in Kyoto.
Japan Seafood 2
Great seafood makes fantastic sushi… what else is there to eat in Japan
Shot in a Kyoto market.
Japan Seafood 1
Japan is not all about Cherry Blossom and scenery, you should definitely check out the food, drink, shopping and markets.
This is octopus and was shot in Kyoto.
The Golden Temple, Kyoto

Kyoto Blossom

Kyoto Night Time Cherry Blossom
The Cherry Blossom in Kyoto was quite fantastic and doesn’t last for long depending on the weather. I’m told that the 2009 season has been particularly spectacular due to the good weather and little wind. This was taken in the central area of Kyoto.
Tokyo :: Big City, Bright Lights!
Taken at the Shibya crossroads - so busy, so bright, so crazy, so fun!
Yoyogi Park under normal colour temperature.
Here’s another one from Yoyogi Park during the Hanami festivals. Recorded and processed at a more normal colour balance. It’s still night time however, hence the weird look.
Hamani at Yoyogi Park, Tokyo
Oh gosh - where to start with my trip to Japan last week. I guess this was one of the first images I process to show one of my friends how you can deal with colour temperature and white balance when taking night shots. This one was taken without a tripod by resting the camera [...]
