Lady From the Side



This is a picture of the statue on Jozenji from the side. This is why you don't see too many of this angle.

High Key Jozenji



I like how this turned out. But I would like to try this same technique with a longer lens.

I spotted this guy crossing the street before the suzume odori during the Aoba Matsuri.

The Suzume Mascot



Mascots are very popular in Japan right now with many companies, cities, and prefectures trying to capitalize on their popularity.

I guess this is the official sparrow of the dance.

That girl looks like she wants nothing to do with it.

The Rat Dance



I know about the history of the Sansa Dance from Morioka. The short version is that there was a demon terrorizing the town and the residents prayed to a god called Mistuishi, (Three Rocks). Mitsuishi caught the demon, forced him to imprint his hand on the rock (This is why Iwate (literally "boulder hand" is named) , and made him promise to go away. Then all the people broke out in dance to celebrate. A better description is here.

Lady of Jozenji



Normally I would pull some detail out of the shadows, but I think this makes her look more mysterious.

Overexposed


Every time I get downtown I always try to go to Jozenji and get a shot of the statues. This day was hard because of the lousy lighting.

Arm in Arm


It is hard to know if the person on the right is male or female. I guess it doesn't matter.

1,000 Points of Light


When I go downtown to this festival, I am always amazed by the scene when I take the time to look at the lights in their entirety. I tried to take a picture of just the lights with this shot to give an idea of what it all looks like.

My Favorite Subject


I always like to take pictures of others taking pictures.

Super Nova


This was an experiment to see if I could get some interesting light streaks in front of the lights on the trees. I even tried to combine two images, but I didn't properly adjust my settings, and those were too bright.

I like this shot simply because of the way the headlights look.

The Other





Well, she was one of many other photographers downtown on this night.
