HDR Images From Japan

Since seeing these types images for the first time a year or so ago i’m glad my new camera has an in built function to take the series of under and over exposed images in quick succession with very little work from me.

Over the course of the weekend i will be attempting my first HDR image and if i can get even the slightest level of success i’ll be well happy with myself.

Geisha Blogger

I came across a very interesting read the other day and today while watching the final of the Sumo Basho, and drinking a couple of beers, i went through the archives of the Geisha Blogger 

Apparently Ichimame , who`s blog is titled “Ichi”, has had quite a lot of media attentiion over the years.  It has a Japanese and English version what gets upwards of a few hundred thousand visits a day .. she`s currently having a break and hasn`t posted since late December. Update, it seems it was December 2007 since she last posted, wonder what happened to her??

The blog is an interesting read and it`s not difficult to see its written by a person motivated and disciplined enough to undertake the lifestyle she has.

If you have any interest at all in Japan and the life of a Maiko and then Geisha i suggest you read this site.

He might not be Japanese but he sure could have a future in Sumo if he keeps on the way he is, more so than this scrawny little whippet of a lad.

Sumo In The Making

I love the confused, inquisitive look and those chubby cheeks on this little fella, mesmerized by the toy phone in front of him.
