I’ve returned to Yakushima Island to complete a project on the visual chaos found in the deep rainforest. Several pathways were blocked, and many trails had washed out in severe weather over the past few months. This led us to new areas of the forest, and more encounters with very unconcerned deer and monkeys.

Two Minutes in a Kyoto Parking Lot
Osaka Nights #2
Still in Osaka, taking images, mostly between 4-5 am, empty streets, very quiet. There is a sense of waiting. Some “snack bars” have just closed and the owners are still cleaning up. Garbage trucks are always out at this time. Parking lots are usually empty but in some parts of town there are multiple cars parked as residents have no where to leave their vehicles. No one walking by looks at us or plays an attention as they would elsewhere. Dawn comes with a purple and pinkish sky at one end of the city and at the other a light blue appears.

Osaka, the Mirror in the Window
Upon arrival in Osaka, on my way to elsewhere, I ran into this window with a mirror. I took this image with my iPhone.
Kyoto Parking Space, Before Sunrise
The Edge of the Clearing
While in the forest I am using both my main camera, for colour, and my iPhone for monochrome images. I enjoy seeing the images in B&W as I take them. There is such chaos in the images, and the monochrome calms them down,
