Japan on my mind

Inspiration

December 17, 2007 · 1 Comment

I planned to have one last post that would summarize what I had not accomplished and what I ought to do on the next trip. I’m still working on it and reviewing the trip as I arrange all these posts on paper.

I found a charming blog, Kyoto Daily Photo, where Macky posts a new photo and explanation each day. I am inspired to post some of my photos with explanations about how they were taken, or what moved me to take the picture. I’ve been overwhelmed by their numbers. Uploading them to my Flickr site helped me organize them, but I’m still overwhelmed. My plan is now to select small numbers of the photos I like best and write about them in detail.

I took these photos in Kyoto as I was walking from the Toji Temple antique market. Even though all this stuff was outside, the shop really didn’t look open. Except for the obvious prices, it almost looked more like a work of art that a commercial enterprise.

    These remind me of those soft-stuffed dolls (don’t know the name of the artist) that I used to see all the time at the fancy shops in the L.V. casinos. You probably know the ones I’m referring to? And the proprietor probably doesn’t even worry that anything will be stolen!
