An expolosion of creativity! I am amazed once again. I really love the soft tones, too. There is something subtly feminine yet largely just love in these photographs. The good side of the world...
ReplyDeleteAh (!) that shawdowy street scene photo with old Kyoto machiya just pulled my homesick heartstrings like nothing else.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking. Seriously, I stopped breathing for a few seconds. I find quite easy to make art with big themes and drama. Depicting something sweet and quiet with art is much much more difficult. I was so excited discovering these pictures I'm not able to concentrate enough to watch the links you give.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of Vuillard, one of my favourite painters. Thank you so much for sharing!
thanks for your comments guys. very painterly for sure, rika m's photos, and all the good side of the world! and yes, i understand the homesick strings being pulled:)
