About me and the site | Twenty-something male who likes text. Obsessed with things such as books, reality, communication, and one or two tv-shows.

Archives | Things written here since... well, 2001. Some of it is good, some is utter shait.

Books | Books read, not books written. So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.

Photo | I like my camera and it likes me.

Links | Outwards, away, flee.

Lately I’ve been surfing around and looking at Japanese photo-sites. Sometimes I don’t understand a thing but they tend to be rather straight forward in design so that isn’t really an issue. The main reason for my facination is that the people being photographed seem so natural, as if this was a normal procedure of their lives.

One site in particular has burnet itself into my link-list. Nippongraphica. It has a great portfolio, so for now forget the people category. Although it is good as well, it’s just portraits and they’re not as interesting to watch as the others. (102 portraids all shot in a similar fashion gets kind of boring after a while.) For instance the armour in portfolio five. Much light and much shadow. Or click ahead a few pictures to 5:09 and you’ll see a few houses in silhouette, three people and lots and lots of birds. But 5:10. Wow. That’s all I have to say.

The person responsible for the site also has a nice little link-bar at the side to other photograpgy sites, some which are quite good.

(Damnation! My fingers don’t work like they should today.)
