rakushisha

Here's a photograph of Rakushisha otherwise known as The Cottage of the Fallen Persimmons in Kyoto Japan. I've visited this spot on two occasions. Once in the Spring and once in the Autumn. This photograph was taken on my second trip in the Autumn. It's significant because on my first trip it was the "shot that got away". The light was right, but I delayed and missed it. On my second trip the shadows and light were recreated and the image was captured. There is a lot that could be said about this destination but I think that Kay Douglas says it best on her website and book: Kyoto in Seventeen Syllables. I recently printed the image and its currently in consideration for my upcoming exhibition at the Art Complex Museum.
