Almost Year End Wrap-up time...

Dec 12, 2018,07:01 AM
 

It's my tradition to look back over the photos from the last 12 months and pick 10... not a best of list, but rather the photos that stand out for personal or other reasons... here are some photos from previous years as a warm up to the picks from 2018...



2011 - Shibuya, Tokyo



2012 - Shinjuku, Tokyo



2013 - Niseko, Hokkaido



2014 - Rumoi, Hokkaido



2015 A - Kamikōchi, Nagano



2015 B - Kamikōchi, Nagano



2016 A - Asahikawa, Hokkaido



2016 B - Kiyosato, Yamanashi



2017 A - Karuizawa, Nagano



2017 B - Karuizawa, Nagano

My first cut was 40 photos... it's always a challenge to limit the choice to 10.

Thanks for looking...
Casey

Yes, 10 is tough as there are many others which I like too... Cheers!

They are like old friends...

and they bring back memories of the actual shoot... I debated if I should go with less familiar photos as there were options to choose from, but in the end... ; ) Casey

Lovely set.

You are always on top of your game . This practice of revisiting images from the elapsed year is quite stirring . Cheers, Filip

I am off to Karuizawa tomorrow (Friday morning local time)...

4) 2014 - Rumoi, Hokkaido... what a great location, the photograph was taken on a cliff looking out over the Sea of Japan (which you can't see because of the blowing snow). The area is known for winter storms blowing in from the direction of Vladivostok. ... 

Thanks Casey

Hahaha...

(4) all from memory.., for (8 & 10) I peaked into the exif data for camera / lens details... I was shooting film in parallel so I had to confirm... normally I can remember location details even years after. Casey

What a series!

I had that shot printed (190 x 270 mm) and framed... one of five I have around the house at the moment. Casey

The first one...

...Shibuya...lots of 'atmosphere.' There's an interesting story there somewhere : )

The back story of why I was there is simple...

I was taking a photo workshop and the assignment for the evening was to grab some local flavor in the streets around the station. I was there for some time waiting for someone to walk past... she didn't move, so I guess she had an assignment as well. What...
