Shrine Patronage

Still feeling miserable from my cold, today's post is simply a collection of a few thin-depth-of-field shots. The one above is of a line of posts that forms a wall at the edge of a shrine in the Gion area of Kyoto, each post having the name of a shrine patron. I took it while doing some night cherry-blossom photography. You can see a more conventional shot of the same scene on this Aunt Jeannette In Kyoto post.

The chairs above were awaiting the kids for one of the events at the Preschool Mochi Production day.

Bidding farewell to my good friend Ram Kulkarni at Tokyo Station last fall, I thought the train-station lockers made interesting fodder for my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4.
