About Nancy Hayata and Classical Japanese Dance: "Welcome to the world of Japanese dance. We are based in the Los Angeles area, but travel the United States to promote and share in performing and educating in the various forms of Japanese dance styles.
With a background in Nihon Buyo (Japanese classical dance) under the Fujima school, having danced Obon dances (Japanese festival dance) from the age of 3, and with training in Minyo (Japanese folk dance), owner, Nancy Teramura Hayata performs at both festival and private events.
Audience participation can also be incorporated, as teaching dance movement is truly sharing the beauty of the art. Festival type dances can easily become both an educational and fun experience for elementary school age children as well as adults.
Most of her repertoire is self choreographed, so what you'll experience is traditional, with a hint of contemporary. She also strives to seek out music and share the talents of those that she knows in the local Japanese American community."

Built in 1922 in the Classical Revival style, the old Covington Train Station replaced an earlier wood-frame structure located in the vicinity of the intersection of 8th Street and Russell Street, approximately one block to the north.
The building features a red tile roof, large glass and metal canopy over the front door, four ionic-style white terra cotta pilasters, and white terra-cotta trim. In front of the building, the brick-paved Harvey Court, once used to load and unload passengers, has been remarkably well-preserved, though it has since been cut off from its original connection to the intersection at nearby Pike Street.
Inside, the building features a large passenger waiting hall in the center with three tall arched bays on either side, allowing in ample natural light, and two wings to the north and south of this space, which housed offices and a waiting room for people of color.
To the rear, the building is adjacent to the concrete railroad viaduct built between 1927 and 1929, which features a passenger concourse under the tracks, which is presently in a state of partial dilapidation after a long period of disuse and lack of proper maintenance.
The building served as the local passenger train depot until the late 1960s, upon which passenger service ceased in Covington due to declining ridership. The building sat abandoned until the 1980s, by which point it was in an advanced state of deterioration. The building was saved from demolition, and adaptively reused as a multi-tenant office building known as Covington Station.
The building was once neighbored by several other structures to the south along Russell Street and Harvey Court, including the four-story Greek Revival-style Elliston House Hotel, and several Italianate and Greek Revival-style brick townhouses, which were abandoned and demolished in the 1980s, during the zenith of the city's decline.

Beautiful that this 17-18thC watercolour was done in 1940.
And is of a very uninteresting mushroom indeed.

Stuff around Buffalo, NY for Scott Kelby's World Wide PhotoWalk.
The sign at the Irish Classical Theater, all lit up. It looked pretty cool, especially with the extra added softness of the star filter.
On December 24, 2024, I picked up my venerable Leica M3 year 1956 (see below for details) for a photowalk in Lyon city, France. I went to Fourvière, enjoying a not too cold (6°C) and clear sunny weather.
My Leica was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film. I equipped the Summicron 2/5cm lens with a Hoya HMC AUV screw-on 39mm protective filter plus the Leitz shade hood for all indoor scenes, and outdoor I mounted a push-on 42mm FOCA (France) Yellow x2.5 filter and a generic cylindrical stainless steel hood that, unfortunately, induced some vignette if not perfectly aligned, that should be corrected during the processing). I should find a 39mm screw-on filter more safe to use with my Summicron 2/5cm,
Expositions were determined for the indicated 400 ISO (28 DIN) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas and erected for the filter absorption if any.
The outside temperature was about 6°C with a bright sunny weather in the afternoon. Typically exposures outdoor were made at 1/250s with apertures ranging from f/8 to 11 and 1/50s or 1/25s at full aperture f/2 or f/2.8 indoor.

After exposure, the film was processed in Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 6 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures. All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This Leica M3 circa 1956 (Ref. Leitz ISUMO), double stroke, was sold to me with a Leitz Wetzlar Summicron collapsible normal lens 1:2 f=5cm of the same period equipped with a 39mm screw-on protective filter, a 42mm push-on Leica lens cap and an original Leitz shade hood (Ref. Leitz IROOA).
The camera was serviced in Paris, France, in 2018 by Gérard Métrot at Photo-Suffren, (a Leica boutique) who worked on the maintenance of camera's of famous French photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. The camera was inspected by Odéon-Photo, Paris, another historic Leica place in Paris, in April 2024.
I sourced at the same time in Germany a stunning Leitz Leica leather bag (Ref; Leitz IDCOO) of the same model that appeared on the back cover page go the Leica brochure year 1954. This bag can accommodate the camera and a mounted Leica-Meter type M. The interior in covered with a carmin velvet in perfect condition.
The Leica M3 is one of the most iconic range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's and the 60's. It was produced in Wetzlar, Germany, in different versions at 226178 exemplars, between 1954 (n° 700000) and 1966 (n° 1164865, www.summilux.net/materiel/Leica-M3) . The Leica M3 was the result of the study of a "super-Leica" that was started before WWII and only achieved in the 50'S.
The greater improvement of the M3 compared the classical Leica's was in a magnificent and very complex range-finder combined to the view finder permitting the framing with the two eyes open, integrating the frame in the real and normal vision. The shutter integrates too the normal and the slow speeds in the same barillet. The film advance of this version of Leica M3 is also the typical "double-stroke" advance that was exclusive to the Leica M3 first versions.
The camera was transported to me from Paris to Lyon, France on April 26, 2024 and the bag arrived the day after.

Originally built in 514 BCE, Suzhou has over 2,500 years of rich history, and relics of the past are abundant to this day. The city's canals, stone bridges, pagodas, and meticulously designed gardens have contributed to its status as one of the top tourist attractions in China. Since the Song Dynasty (960-1279), it has also been an important centre for China's silk industry.
The classical gardens in Suzhou were added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 and 2000. Suzhou is often dubbed the "Venice of the East" or "Venice of China".

Natyanjali Dance festival Mumbai, is a Classical Dance festival held every year on the occasion of Mahashivaratri. Students, teachers and artists from all across the city perform in front of the Nataraja. The Subramanaya temple in Chembur, Mumbai makes a beautiful setting for the week long celebration.
Enchantress, full of life, a resounding voice.. she enlivens the arena! A calm and composed, shy and tacitern person metamorphsises on Stage! This has been my experience... first time though
I was fortunate to attend the kite festival being held at the Portland Classical Chinese Gardens this past month. The festival is running through the entire month of April. This kite really took my eye with its symmetry, colors, and realism.
This classical Chinese garden is almost 900 years old. It's form has changed significantly over this time but it is now regarded as one of the best examples of Chinese garden in the world. Although comparatively small compared to other gardens such as the Humble Administrators garden, the Mast of the Nets is exquisite in it's perfection.
