I need to learn more about this one.

Sendai Aoba Matsuri: In Form

The Aoba Matsuri is held every May in downtown Sendai. Different companies and groups have "teams" that dance, sing, and play music while walking down the streets.

Standing in front of Itagaki.

Could Have Been

This shot could have been great.

I was walking by Itagaki on Ichibancho when I looked over and saw this scene.

Too bad that the autofocus was not fast enough for me to simply raise my camera and shoot.

In the Prominade

The roof on the sides of Ichibancho provided protection from the cold rain.

Torii

Ichibancho in the holidays gets a large decorative torii.

Ichibancho Holiday Lights

Sendai Ichibancho in the holidays.

Nothing Better

There is nothing better than playing music for people who want to listen to you.

In Thought

I wonder what he is thinking.

I also like the way the lens compressed that background. This is in an arcade, but it looks like a road lined with trees.

Don't Ask

Don't ask because I don't know.
