Meiji Shrine

Fri, 18 May 2012 10:31:18 GMT

My son and daughter in law walk through the gate at the entrance to the Tokyo park in which sits the Meiji Shrine.

From Wikipedia: After the emperor's death in 1912, the Japanese Diet passed a resolution to commemorate his role in the Meiji Restoration. An iris garden in an area of Tokyo where Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken had been known to visit was chosen as the building's location.
Construction began in 1915 under Ito Chuta, and the shrine was built in the traditional nagare-zukuri style and is made up primarily of Japanese cypress and copper. It was formally dedicated in 1920, completed in 1921, and its grounds officially finished by 1926.[3] Until 1946, the Meiji Shrine was officially designated one of the Kanpei-taisha (????), meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines.[4]

Calligraphic Forms #6

Thu, 10 May 2012 19:08:04 GMT

Calligraphy has been seen as the supreme form of art in East Asia for well over a thousand years, viewed as far higher than pictorial art. And it is still widely practiced, although styles and approaches have changed over the centuries. Today there is a very interesting school of calligraphy that combines the brushwork with wood carving. The artist is both a calligrapher and a wood carver, and this adds a fascinating range of textures, dimensions, colors and forms.

Several people I know are practitioners of this contemporary calligraphic art form, and I would like to share some examples of their work.

This piece is by Shin Dong-ho, and the four large characters read:

The Dragon Flies,
the Phoenix Dances

Cliff Drama

Sun, 06 May 2012 23:48:52 GMT

Taken yesterday at Zion National Park. I am currently at Capital Reef National Park. Tomorrow evening I will be in the Four Corners area of New Mexico hopefully heading further east Tuesday.

On this road trip I'm testing out a new light wieght range finder camera, a Canon Powershot G1X I plan to use on backpack trips. DSLRs and lenses are just to heavy to carry on backpack trips. I am hoping this camera at 14mp and a new larger sensor and DIGIC5 image processor will take DSLR quality images!!

Sorting old photographs can be a mixed blessing. Lovely memories can be bittersweet.

If it wasn't for the love for Antinoo, this young boy that opened his eyes on Art and Philosophy, Adrian would most probably have been just like any other roman emperor: a boring bureaucrat, lost in administration issues, closed into a palace in the middle of the greatest and most crowded town of his time, Rome.

I wonder what would have been of myself if I didn't discover Photopoints. I was spending my days trying to get points on Photosig, becoming more a PR than a photographer. Then, by chance I discovered PP and made the quantum leap. I knew here people who drove me to a refinement process that's not finished yet. I knew my current colleagues of 591-Photography, the blog I'm collaborating to, as well as some more good friends.

What would be if PP closed down?
I don't know.

Not a particularly good capture, but the first porcupine I've ever seen in the wild! Next to the Alpine Visitor's Center up high on the ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park., Colorado.

"Whirlwind"

(Candid Performance portrait,
Honu'apo Cultural Festival, Ka'u, Hawai'i)

A whirlwind of personal emotions stir my heart with the sad news of Oscar's announcement...

And there has been a whirlwind of support as well, as we try to find a way of keeping our community alive and thriving, while honoring Oscar's need for personal happiness and health.

A toast: Here's to hopeful solutions; here's to the wonderful international family that is Photopoints. Here's to our patriarch, Oscar!

Warmest Aloha to all...

The two were playing on the couch as the baby would suck on his mother's cheek.

I know the quality of the picture needs work. It was an old scanner. I will re-post it after I scan the hundreds of pictures in line.
