in front of the gate - 門の前で

謹賀新年desu! :) nice image tetsu-san.

It's strange how sometimes pictres can not be commented... So this is just to mark that I was here ;-)

Too charming and so lovely. You captured the two generations so well, with the younger lit nicely with all of life of ahead of him, and the older in dimmly lit in their later years but with still so much to offer us; an awesome capture.

Hi Tetsu, Thank you for stopping by fotoforay. I love your black and whites. You take awesome portraits that show wonderful life and great moments in time. Its going to keep me coming :)

I love the little kid (either watching you or the ladies walking). Great range of ages in this shot. -Matt

ummm umm ummm gray... :-)...

Hi!
You have a great site! I think it is really one of the best asian photoblog.

I'm so far from Japan, but one day I would like to come!

Bye

Thanks H.O, Pier, Micki, Oko, Joris and Photorama!!!!

You can't really see his face, but you get the feeling the boy is waiting impatiently for the two women.

Thanks Robert!!!
Yes. The kid waited for the women. :-)

Wow, you really didn't get it, did you?
If you comment one of my photographs, at least try to pretend you mean it ('ummm' isn't very convincing).

Doesn't mean I think differently about your pics now; some are very nice. This one.. not so interesting.

Thanks Joris!!!

Hehehe. When I wrote 'Umm', I like the photo and think how I can express in english. My mother tongue is Japanese... :-P

Oh, Okay. I apologize.
I sort of get that feeling from some of your comments, but I guess it's the culture difference.

Thanks Joris.

Sorry for my bad english... :-)

Tetsu another stunner, I love the child presence it makes the shot....

Thanks Shooter!!!

この門の写真は私が良く行く杉並の大宮八幡宮の門と似ています。

お宮さんは似たところが多いので同じとは思いませんが、それにしても似ていますわ。

クリクリさん、ありがとうございます！
そうです！これは大宮八幡で撮った写真です。よくお分かりですね。
