To Nara, to Nara

Back on the Japan Trip. After a very brief stop at Himeji Castle, we were on our way to Nara. I have been there once before, in 1993. I recall it was easy to get around the huge Nara park: 1 straight road, I remember. But I couldn't be more wrong.


It was not difficult, it just was not as easy as I had imagined. Hence I was totally unprepared, and in the end, we barely reached the temple before closing time. Luckily the trip back was uneventful.

Out of Topic

Its been a few weeks since my last post. I have been troubled by my lack of new works for the past few months. Though I blame it on the weather, but I know I did not make as much effort as I would like to have. My photobook project is coming to a close for the Japan trip, hence I am taking a bit more time for posting.


Anyhow, I came across this blog post by Ian Plant. I have been subscribing to his RSS feeds. This particular entry strike a cord. There are many times I have a certain image in my mind that I wanted to find the right scene to capture, even though it might not exist. But in the course of looking for that perfect scene to convey my idea, I missed many good takes along the way.
