Photo Hunt – Small, Chisai

December 15, 2007 · 26 comments

One of the best things to come out of the recent competition i held was my discovery of new sites, and specifically The Photo Hunt.

The idea behind this site is that each week there’s a new theme you’re supposed to follow. The themes are already listed through the first few months of next year so there’s no great surprise as to what comes next week. If nothing else it’s a good way for me to get the most out of my Canon Camera and also learn new words in Japanese.

I intend taking part in The Photo Hunt as often as i can and i’ll be sure to try and put a Japanese flavour into each of my photos. Here’s one i dug up from a few months back, i’m not going to win any competitions for photography but i’ll still have fun trying to get a photo for the theme each week.

This weeks theme is as the title suggests – Small or Chisai (ちさい) in Japanese. I had 2 photos i wanted to post for my version of “Small”. The first was taken at a summer Hanami Party in Hon-Atsugi, the area i work, and the second at Meiji-Jingu Shrine in Harajuku, just near my home, on New Years Day this year.

On the topic of Harajuku, i had an email earlier this week from Erik Van Loon asking me to plug this weekends ‘Fight For Love’ so here you go Erik.

The Playground – On a playground of 2.5 x 2.5 m2 at Harajuku Bridge participants will fight against each other in an open tournament on Sunday, December 16th from 12:00-17:00 and the whole tournament will be filmed by Paul Wouters and commentated by Tak Hoda.

The Mission - Fight For Love will be like John Lennon and Yoko Onno’s Bed-in for Peace in 1969 to draw attention to the prevalence of violence in society. Hopefully this and next Fight For Love artshows in cities throughout the world will make John Lennon and Yoko Onno’s dream ‘Give Peace A Chance’ come true.

when I saw the girl dragging her anpanman bag, it reminded me of the young girls we always see in Japan dragging theirs in the weekend. I suppose it’s for their change of clothing?

It was at a fireworks festival south of Tokyo, many people including myself wore traditional Japanese clothes … the festival went from midday tp late at night so she could have had change of clothes in there or whatever little girls carry around.
