一匹だけ横向いているのが気になります…
tetsuさんの写真見るたびにモノクロやっぱりいいなーって、思いますです。

Hands up if you're a small white cat!

Nice image, cute!

Wow, sort of like legions of cute cats in a clone army.

Great "smile maker" shot for today! Those are a lot of cute little kitties!

> moncef said : Aug 4, 2006 19:21

funny... kind of "poupées russes" (russian dolls?)

> Phil said : Aug 4, 2006 19:40

One of these little guys would be cute. That many is really sinister ;)

招き猫に縁のあるお寺なんでしょうか?
すごいたくさんいるね!迫力!!

> Todd Murray said : Aug 4, 2006 21:54

Is there any (cultural, religious, etc) significance of the cat's pose?

> MMM said : Aug 4, 2006 22:43

A big high-five to all the cute cats!

> y_and_r_d said : Aug 4, 2006 23:14

上に行くほど暗くなっているので
招き猫が無数にいるような錯覚をうけます。

tomoさん、yukiiroさん、らむママさん、y_and_r_dさん、ありがとうございます!!!
一匹だけあらぬ方を向いていますね。どこの世界にもひねくれ者はいるんですねぇ。この写真は世田谷の豪徳寺で撮ったものなのですが、一説ではこの寺が招き猫の発祥の地とされています。

Thanks JLC, Paul, Robert, Slowdown, Micki, Faustina, Moncef, Phil, Todd and MMM!!!
To raise one hand means invite fortune or money, so these dolls of cats are symbol of lucky. :-)

tetsuさんはいつも人物を題材にされていたので,人が写ってない写真を見ると少し意外に感じてしまいますね.それにしても,ランダムの中のシンメトリー.シンメトリーの中のランダム.こういう幾何学的な構図には惹かれます.

Thanks Cushmok and Johnz!!

yanzさん、ありがとうございます!!
そうですね。いつも何処かにさり気なく人影を入れているような気がします...。

This is so adorable! Love how you framed this, and the depth of field you used. Nice one! :)

Wonderful image.

> Gerald said : Aug 7, 2006 17:27

Very cool. I actually find this shot rather unsettling for some reason.

> Ashish Sidapara said : Aug 8, 2006 01:52
