Dinner, March 10
Another image for the Art Education 2.0 Photography Group Project. The weather has been bitterly cold in Tokyo. When will the spring warmth decend? Still looking for hearty dishes – I like the idea of photographing some of my more creative dishes – this might become a theme within my 52 Photograph 2010 project. Time will tell.
OK – I have slightly lost the plot. This is actually my first Saturday off since before Christmas so I figure I have some excuse for falling behind with my posting for my ’52 Photographs’ project.
The Abot Kamay service trip to Thailand provided great opportunities for photography. This might not completely fit the ’1 per week goal’ but it catches me up. Here is just one image – to see the rest of the set go to Flickr
Espresso
Nothing like a short of coffee to end a magnificant mulit course meal at Amoroso in Kagaruzaka. Dishes included rissoto with shaved black truffle, roasted Italian pork shoulder, hand-made pasta with brussel sprouts & bamboo shoot…and a whole lot more – what a feast.
Kichijoji, Nakamichi.
Snow fall over night had us wondering if school would be cancelled. The bright blue sky and the only semi-slushy surface of the road said otherwise.
I joined an group as part of an Art Ed network – we are documenting by photography the year 2010. I am taking a photograph a week, others are taking one every day. Here is a slideshow of the groups work so far. arted365/2010
Sleeping dog
I give students an assignment to capture movement. We play around with shutter speed and try to create purposeful blur in their photographs. I think the blur in this makes the patterned carpet and my dog start to merge creating a soft dreamy image.
Lily
I realised I’m kind of exploring ‘light’ effects; shadows, reflections and highlights. I’ve been stuck inside with the flu – yes ‘the flu’! Inspiration inside my four walls might have been a challenge if it weren’t for the bunch of flowers I had purchased last week. I wanted to capture the velvety petals. I love the luminous and luscious texture of lilies…
Week 2
Art Ed 2.0 – 52 weeks of photographs ProjectÂ
I ride a bicycle to work. The chill air and startling sunlight make Winter bitter sweet. Yesterday the streets were empty (Sunday) as I rode to school for a workshop. Despite Tokyo being a dense metropolis of 12 million people, I still pass small open fields where residents cultivate veggies.
