Asakusa

On my fourth trip to Japan, I wanted to play around with photography rather than shoot the same places yet again. I experimented with blur using a Lensbaby, and also had to contend with unexpected overexposure when I accidentally set my ASA to 400. The results are sometimes fantastical images.

I really just love these posters advocating civic behavior. They’re poetic and humorous!
On our last evening in Nakamise, I thought I was dreaming when I saw an actual geisha walk into a shop!
In 4 trips, I had never caught this rare sight.

A penny for your thoughts!
