Welcome

A friend in Kyoto that I've known for years has recently opened a second location for her shop, Tea Ceremony Camellia, which offers tea-ceremony experiences in English. Her new location, Camellia GARDEN, is quite picturesque, and after many missed tries to get our schedules to converge, I was able to stop by for an hour the other day to try for some photos.

First Photo of the Day

We didn't have any plan for any specific photos, and didn't have much time, so I just went for some of the low-hanging fruit, to help build ideas for a real photoshoot some day.

Here's a hastily-made wigglegram of the room:

I've become rusty with the camera so it was good to put it to use. With a bit more time and preparation I should be able to do much better than these, but that'll have to be another day...


One comment so far...

Great photos – I aspire to be that ‘rusty’ with a camera one day…

Stopped by to leave a donation after downloading your excellent Ipernity and metadata LR plugins – thanks!
