capturing in prose
As some of my readers know, I’m not good at taking a macro photo and don’t do it so much usually. However, it still bounds to take a photographer to the macro photo as WPC does.
The flower season of a hibiscus is summer in Yokohama and commonly known as FUYOU (芙蓉) or MUKUGE (木槿).

The left one was my intention, that was half and half graphic made with the light and architecture.

Even though the metropolis is made with full of colors, it looks gentle and colorless city for an étranger. Even though the city is full of people, it sounds like a wind. Her name is Paris. How can I crop the image? Then I came up with an idea to make an iPhonegraphy. All the pictures were taken with iPhone. I hope you enjoy.
様々な色に満ち溢れた大都会であっても、そこは通り過ぎる旅人にとって落ち着いた色のない街である。人々にあふれた街であっても、そこは風のようである。その街はパリ。どうやってそのイメージを切り取ろうか？そうやってこのiPhonegraphyの写真を思い付いた。いずれの写真もiPhoneで撮ったものである。
I hope you enjoy, half colors, half monochrome.

You could say July in Japan is half the sunshine summer and half the rainy month. When it is fine, the sun light is strong and hot. When it rain, the air is frowsty. In any case, it must be very humid. In between the sun and the rain, for the rare occasion, dry wind blows over the city. The above picture was taken under such blue sky with strong light.
The second picture, bottom, was not taken in Japan but similar composition. Probably I like this kind of pictures.

One of typical symbols of the city of Yokohama, the second largest city in Japan, would be a seagull or something about sea.
The history of Yokohama is surprisingly short, 150 years and it could be said a sort of a diplomatic history. Yokohama was just a small village for fishers. The small fishery harbor appeared in front of Japanese diplomacy 150 years ago.
Hikawa-maru was a ocean liner between Yokohama, Vancouver and Seattle and then it was used as a hospital ship in the World War II. Today you can see her at Yamashita-koen park as a symbol of Yokohama.
