• Pink Fiat Black Chevrolet

    The house is solidly middle class, while the car is bright pink. As you might guess, the contrast is what drew me to take the photo.

    Because the car was on full view from the pavement, but out of respect for the owner, I obscured the number plate, unlike with the Chevrolet Corvette that was parked on the street.

    Actually, I have a beef with the pink colour of the Fiat. I photographed it with a Fuji X100F and I don’t think it did a good job of capturing the colour. Maybe I will get the opportunity to photograph the Fiat again when I have a different camera with me. Then I will have something to compare it with.

  • Bridge Kyoto Garden Holland Park

    This, of course, is not the bridge in the Japanese Garden in Holland Park in London. It is the queue lining up to cross the bridge. In fact it is about one half of the queue that stretches off to the right of the frame.

    The bridge leads nowhere. It is just an ornamental bridge in the garden.

    My friend said he was not going to line up to cross the bridge, as he gently mocked the people for behaving like sheep. lining up to cross the little bridge.

    That suited me: I didn’t want to line up, nor to cross the bridge, because I had no interest in doing so, but I did want to photograph the people.

    The fact is that it is a bridge I have already crossed.

    I went across that bridge when it was free of visitors, so I know what it is like to stand on the bridge. It’s nice if you are walking that way, and yes, it is nice, but it is not that nice.

    It is not nice enough to stand in a queue for the opportunity. I guess the people wanted to take photos of themselves standing on the bridge.

    If not that, then there is not much to do other than walk across.

    I searched in Instagram and sure enough there are many photos of the bridge – photos of couples, of a man on one knee proposing, etc.
