I look up at this blue sky everyday, but today it seemed different.
It's been so cold lately, that everything seems B L UE.

ELYSIUM.

| Elysium |
For those unfamiliar with Elysium. In Greek mythology Elysium was the final resting place of souls of heroes and virtuous men. Hence, I thought this double exposure would serve as a reflection of the two realms within Elysium: the Island of the Blessed and the Lethean Fields of Hades. For those who enjoy mythology please let me know your thoughts~
to the Elysian plain…where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men.
- Homer Odyssey (4.560-565)
PORTRA 400 VC taken on a Canon FTb. If anyone uses a analog SLR try some double exposures.
More to come!

December 2011 I visited the Fushimi Inari Shrine for the first time. Here are some photos taken with the Contax T2 and PORTRA 400 VC
Juxtaposition 2012
Hey there, Happy New Years! It's been a while since I posted, and I wanted to start the year with something fresh and special. I finally found something interesting to post aside from the billion photos I took these past few weeks.
Here we have a piece I call Juxtaposition (for those who are unfamiliar with it's meaning; an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. )

| this image seems like a painting of a girl and her grandfather crossing a bridge to a park |
 |
| but in reality if we move to the original crop we can see that the trees look kind of different |
 |
| now once we convert the colours |
 |
| then flip the image upside down, we can see it's just a simple image of the park nearby Yasaka Shrine, here in Kyoto. |
amazing right, how water distorts colours and how the water reflects the light and creates these amazing colours we see.
I love to experiment with photography and I hope this year I can learn more, share and explore this world through a lens.
