I tried to capture my impressions of India by taking interesting street shots whenever I could. This image was shot from my tour bus around the City of Varanasi. I saw many scenes like this as we drove about, showing the harsh living conditions of much of the country: poverty, high density living, and general lack of tidiness (litter). I was also struck by the high level of human activity and colour in the streets, ranging from the very colourful clothes most people wore, the traffic congestion, noise, smells and the many merchants lining the streets. Many examples can be found in my images. All-in-all, a very fascinating and friendly country to visit.
Osaka, Japan
04-16-24
I am always delighted with the attention to detail in some anime films (like those of Miyazaka and Gibli Studios) where the street scenes are amazingly detailed, and show some scenes which are only attributable to Japan.
While wandering about, I took some photos in out of the way places, which don't show shrines or tall buildings, or tourist attractions, but just normal scenes like this one.
I love the horizontal stoplight, the ubiquitous drink vending machine, the rusted metal walls and the electrical wires, which in some areas are even more spiderweblike than in this photo.
The building might be a repair shop for tiny Japanese cars. But it's really just part of a paid parking area. Those spaces on the right are paid parking and the "P In" sign is for a parking area.
(In some congested city areas the parking stalls are stacked on top of one another in buildings.)
This isn't a photo of an amazing scene, but a rather mundane yet still fascinating one, and that's what the best of photography can do for the viewer.
Ambon, Indonesia. Lost in a deep blue sea lie the Maluku island chain. Deeply tropical with volcanic rumpled hills and home to some of the greatest coral reefs. Our friend here was chilling with some buddies in a tent restaurant on the charming waterfront of Ambon city.
If you look closely you can see the band playing through the window. (I know -- hardly a great capture of the band).
Shot in Darjeeling, India
The light there was awesome and some textures and colors appeared magic.
