Photos Exhibitions
Welcome to my little photos exhibition corner. Every month, I plan to present here online, a new exhibition or series of photos on a given theme related to Kyoto.
Your comments are welcome.
May 2020 – Ao Momiji Photos Exhibition
After a beautiful cherry blossoms season, things slow down a bit and all is quiet for a while. Then, around the middle of the month of May, is the perfect time to look around the temples and the mountains for the maple trees having new leaves. This is a beautiful period with incredibly strong greens on the maple trees with their new leaves, all around Kyoto.
April 2020 – Hanami Photos Exhibition
The second half of March and the month of April were especially quiet around Kyoto. No foreign or Japanese visitors and even the people of Kyoto refrained from going out. Not only were the cherry trees blooming like usual, but we were also blessed with beautiful weather and numerous sunny days.
March 2020 – Hanami Photos Exhibition
This year’s cherry blossoms season has started even earlier than last year. I’ve heard it started ten days earlier than usual! And this year is a special one for the planet. Because of the current pandemic, there are very few people around Kyoto. But we are lucky to not have many confirmed cases of this terrible virus and the cherries are blooming all around.
Here’s a series of recent photos taken around the city over the second half of March.
February 2020 – Plum Blossom
The plum trees are the first ones to delight us with their beautiful white, pink and red flowers that smell so well. These blossoms as early as February. Here are a few photos captured around Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Jonangu Shrine and a special garden in Mie prefecture, near Kyoto.
Maiko Kimisaki – Photos Exhibition
January 15th, 2020. I am currently not in Japan and I have just heard about Maiko Kimisaki retirement! I had the pleasure and privilege of four different photoshoots with maiko Kimisaki. I’m presenting here what I think are the best images I was able to capture of her.
January 2020 – Maiko & Momiji
The following photos were made during three public photoshoots organized in Kyoto during the Fall (2018 and 2019). The theme is always “Maiko & Momiji”. The photos were taken at the Chishakuin Temple, the National Museum and the Shôsei-en Garden, with groups of five geimaiko.
