Nagoya Green

My father-in-law gave me his old film camera last week. I spent the week documeting the nature of Nagoya. At least in my in-laws' neighborhood, everyone has at least some nice potted plants in their yard, but most people have very nice gardens, and there are even a fiew fields around. I was surprised that people were so open and talkative when I asked if it was OK to photograph them or their gardens. Even more surprised to be invited for tea once.

I took five rolls while I was there, and not-amazingly, I was satisfied with a much higher precentage of the final shots than I am with my digital. When each shot costs money I found myself spending up to 5 minutes trying to find the best angle, etc. Its a lot more fun this way.

The full collection can be seen a a large size slideshow here, or a small slideshow below. I recommend the large.
