Day 16: umbrellas

Japan and umbrellas. You can't go wrong.


I like how she's holding the umbrella.

Day 13: Umbrellas

Ok, I screwed up the date on the last post, and I had pics from two different days, so I'm setting it straight with umbrellas. It was my sincere wish that it pour when I was in Tokyo. I've forever been a fan of Japanese woodblock prints, in particular Hiroshige, bonus points if you know what print I'm talking about. Anyways, as it turns out, I only got Hiroshima, which for what I envisioned, didn't quite have the population density I wanted for a capture. Also, dreaming about umbrella pics is much more pleasant than actually taking pictures in the pouring rain. Maybe it was a good thing it didn't rain again in Tokyo.



I wish there were twice the people.




Seems like the lady sized clear plastic umbrellas were popular. Yes, I bought one.




This one was unique.




It only takes a glance to make you feel like you're being creepy.

Day 3: Night Cont'd

As promised. More umbrellas.


The best part about rain is the reflective ground.



Umbrellas are the second best part.



I stood here like a creepy man and watched these two lovebirds have fun in the rain. It caught my eye because it reminds me of another photograph with umbrellas I really like.

Day 3: Night

I believe we ended up trying to find a good Shao Lin Bao place to eat dinner at. It turned out it was closed. Not only was it closed, but the road that it was supposed to be on was closed, and every single shop was also closed.

The good news is that it was raining, so I got some interesting lighting situations.



Street food stall. The red blows out here a little, wish I used a smaller aperture.



I love my umbrellas.



Cleaning up.



More umbrella photos are around the corner.
