Chinatown in Yokohama in Japan is the largest China town in the country. The largest Chinatown I was in before that was in Philadelphia. Lots of great Chinese food restaurants in Chinatown there. It was all delicious. There is a bright and colorful temple there that you can visit which is pictured here. Named Kanteibyo I decided to take this picture with Ilford FP5 and got a lot of detail out of it, but no color.

The past two times that I went to Kyoto and went through Nishiki Market I would stop at the one stall that sold tea. I happened to get some Roasted green tea this time, Hojicha, and it is definitely tasty. I also have gotten their green tea with roasted rice. I took a quick picture of this box full of the roasted tea leaves. It looked and smelled wonderful as he scooped up and filled a bag for me to take back home to the states.

I took a walk on Saturday since I was holding a meetup but no one showed because I guess “weather” so I went walking around exploring some alleys and checking out the non-stop stickers that are all over the city, especially on signs. I will have to do a series of these stickers on signs someday. I was walking around in Jackson Ward area of Richmond.
Taken with my XPro-1 with the 27mm lens.
Stop! slapping stickers on the sign. Like the Astro boy one…
It isn’t just on signs but walls, poles and electric boxes.
Nice dead end with the mural there, right next tot he park…
Thanks for taking a stop by to look.
My trip was now a few month back and I already miss Kyoto. I have spent a little over a month worth of time in that city and it is never enough. I would go again anytime and if I could stay to see all the seasons. Walking around at night is great even if it is a week day Gion is moving about here and there. This entrance to the subway below gave me a good frame for the theater that was lit up in the front.

A few weeks ago I held a walk in my city where we hunted down some murals that have been painting on the side of some buildings. It was fun as I wasn’t looking just for murals as my group is street photography focused. Was a great day with great weather. Was about 8 of us.
Photo’s taken with my XPro-1 with the 27mm 2.8 and 35mm 1.4
Some of the murals are brand new down there as of this Summer and some have been up for a few years, all pretty cool to see…
The artist are from ll over the world and there is one that is a local boy…
Looking into a restaurant…
Cook having a quick smoke before the lunch crowd comes on in…
This murals is pretty cool, there is an explosion that is bursting out of his cranium…
Taking the dog for a ride…
They wanted to become famous so I took their picture…
Thanks for taking a look!
