Sunday Stroll

Not far from my place there is a bike path.  I took a walk down the path this afternoon and this is some of what I saw.  

It Looks Better On Her

Come To Me!

These are two oldie but goodies of Lashanda that I took over a year ago.  I figured I would play with the color even though I always liked the pics as they were:)  

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine II

KitanoTenmangu Shrine I

On the 25th of each month one of the largest flea markets in Kyoto is held at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. I stopped by today and took a few pics. More on the way:)

Grabbing A Bite

I grabbed these pics through the door and the window of a small eatery on a side street in downtown Kyoto. I gave it an antique look in post-processing courtesy of Lightroom 2.

Within Seconds Of Each Other

An Ode To Below

They speak for themselves:)

Sound Clash Japanese Style II

Sound Clash Japanese Style

I caught these cats about a week ago dueling it out at a dance hall reggae sound clash party just off Kiyamichi in downtown Kyoto. It was a smoky night (cigarettes that is) but there was some real talent that graced the stage. When I walked into the spot and heard the selectaz on the stage I would have swore that there were some Jamaicans in the spot doing their thing, but sure enough it was an all Japanese affair mekin' nuff noise in da place. I've got more shots of these dudes in my next post.

Ricoh GR III Black and Whites

Okay I took these pics this evening on my way home from work with my new Ricoh GR Digital III serious compact. This is a cool little camera that allows you to take pictures on the low and not attract to much attention. It weighs almost nothing so you can keep it with you everyday. I'm really excited about what I will be able to do on the street with this little baby. I've become such a camera nerd--its pathetic, but I love it:) Enjoy!!!

My Mom and Kids Reppin' Hard

My Mom and Kids are a wild bunch. I snapped this one in March in the hip and chic NODA (North Davidson) neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina. They were feeling good because we had just finished having some amazing fish tacos in this swanky little spot whose name escapes me.

She Helped Me

This beautiful young woman helped me look for a lost button for a jacket I recently purchased at a new clothing store called Superdry in Manhattan. I could not resist asking her if I could take her picture, luckily she said yes. Although her name escapes me I do remember that she had recently moved to New York from London to study graphic design.
