I don't seem to get excited by much these days.... but one thing I am crazy about is Japanese Castles.  Once you visit one you gotta see more.  This album has one picture for each castle I've visited in Japan.  I try to visit a new one each time I go back.

Japanese Kimono

I'm no expert on kimono, but i find them to be an interesting modern manifestations of traditional culture that survives in uber-modern Japanese society. 

When I was living in Japan, one of the striking things is that sometimes you'll see people walking down the street in traditional Japanese clothes.  Sometimes its for special occasions like weddings/graduations/etc, sometimes its for holiday festivals, going to shrines, etc. All Japanese girls have a 'Coming of Age' ceremony when they are 20 that they wear kimono for too.

Here are some of my pics of kimono from Japan. I thought this would be a good subject to balance to my Harajuku album!  Some are pictures from events or out on the street, some are ones sent to me by my friends (i hope they don't mind me sharing them here!)

You can learn all about the different kinds of Kimono here:

I take a lot of pictures and I travel to a lot of places,  so I thought I'd add some of my interesting photos from Tokyo to this album.  These are all the interesting 'Harajuku Girls' (and a few guys) I've had the pleasure of photographing in my trips to Tokyo.

Tell me who do you think is the most interesting! (in a good or bad way)
