As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago in “Going Max Clich\u00e9 While\nLearning About Off-Camera Flash<\/a>”, I've recently gotten into fairly good\nshape, having lost more weight than I knew<\/span> I needed<\/span> to. It feels<\/span> great, but\nmeans all my clothes have become extra frumpy. They were frumpy to begin\nwith, and only got worse as I lost<\/span> weight.<\/p>\n\n

At 192cm (~6'4”) I can't easily buy clothes in Japan — even\nshort-sleeve shirts generally don't fit quite right — but I found<\/span> a T-shirt that I\nreally<\/span> like, and it's become my new summer uniform.<\/p>\n\n

It's the Uniqlo V-Neck Dry Color\nT<\/a>, a simple<\/span> T-shirt in a variety<\/span> of colors made from a thin<\/span> fabric that\ndrys very quickly, so even if you get sweaty (as you will<\/i> do in Kyoto's relentless\nsummer heat and humidity), it doesn't feel particularly uncomfortable, and when you\nreturn to the shade or indoors, you find yourself dry (and unexpectedly fresh) in no time.<\/p>\n\n

A real bargain at an after-tax price of just ¥500 (US $6.40).<\/p>\n\n

In an ongoing effort to try to feel more comfortable in front of the\ncamera and in sharing those results, I'll share some shots of me in these\nshirts. I've got them in a bazillion<\/span> colors, but it seems that I happen<\/span> to\nhave shots of me in only white and gray, from various recent outings with\nNicolas Joannin.<\/p>\n\n

I think the outing that produced “Kyoto\u2019s Kajuji Temple In Summer: Alive<\/a>”\nwas the first time I wore<\/span> one in the hot sun, and it worked great.<\/p>\n\n

One evening recently I took Nicolas and his wife up to Shogunzuka where<\/a>\nI often<\/span> go in hopes of a nice<\/span> sunset (most recently seen in “Anatomy of a Nice<\/span>\nKyoto Sunset<\/a>”).<\/p>\n\n\n

Wait I did, and with no reward for it. As I mentioned<\/span> in “This Evening\u2019s Sunset in\nKyoto<\/a>” and most every time I write<\/span> about sunsets, I often<\/span> head up there\nonly to leave empty handed. But this particular<\/span> evening was particularly\nunphotogenic.... much worse even than in “Bland Sunset Over Kyoto: They\nCan\u2019t All Be Amazing<\/a>”....<\/p>\n\n\n

Anyway, back to the shirts... if you're in Japan or The States or\nwherever Uniqlo sells, and it's often hot and muggy, their “Dry” line is\nhighly recommended.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
