Beautiful skyscapes beyond the trees choreographed to the mesmerizing sound of “Daylight” by Kokin Gumi from their “Zen Garden” CD. The music for this CD was written by the late Masakazu Yoshizawa, who is also heard performing in this recording. For more info visit: www.kokingumi.com, or visit the ‘more info’ section of my “There’s More To It” video, featuring “Snow” by the same great artists of Kokin Gumi. The depictive photography was carefully choreographed to quotes written by me that are sure to awaken your spirit, stir your soul, and provoke your thoughts.
Photography by me. Hope you enjoy 
Doesn’t the cloud at 5:36 look like a bird?

Sunflowers are starting to bloom here in Japan. There are many around where I live and I think they are quite fabulous to see. They can get pretty big and the yellow is very beautiful. This is just a short clip taken with the Creative Vado HD to give you an idea of how they can be seen in Japan. This particular shot was taken near Nagano city in a residential area. Although these are pretty big, you can actually find sunflowers much bigger than this around the countryside. There are also a lot of bees around them too so you have to be careful.

Noriko Furunishi’s monumental landscape photographs inaugurate New Pictures, a semiannual series dedicated to innovative work by emerging artists from around the world. Presented each fall and spring, the series highlights the vital experimentations in photography and new media undertaken by artists who grapple with making images that address today’s culture.
http://www.artsmia.org/new-pictures/
Furunishi, who was born in Kobe, Japan, and lives in Los Angeles, uses a large-format 4 x 5 camera to make several film images of geographical sites in the United States. Each image represents a different point of view, typically including one with a span from the tip of the artists toes into the foreground and landscape. After selecting four to six images, Furunishi scans the negatives onto a computer and then digitally stitches them together with Adobe Photoshop to create seemingly continuous landscapes. A close look reveals that some images have been flipped upside down or rearranged within the composition. The vertical orientation of Furunishi’s photographs recalls the complex formal compositions of historical Chinese and Japanese hanging scroll paintings, providing a contemporary perspective on the MIA’s renowned Asian collection.
Furunishi’s photographs suggest the new visual conditions and technological possibilities of our own time through their subtly warped vistas, which upend preconceptions about the land beneath our feet and the skies overhead.

Travel to Japan during the Spring to Summer season to see a wide variety of flowers in bloom, abundant bird life, pottery, crafts and culture. Toursgallery operate exclusive tours for people who want to see more than the common tourist attractions. Join a small group of about 10 to 20 discerning travellers from UK, Canada, USA , New Zealand and Australia escorted by a tour leader and translator who can show you the quirky and obscure places that independent visitors never see. For over 25 years Ken Osetroff and Mayumi Gray have been creating ‘behind the scenes’ tours to Japan that you can buy directly from Toursgallery.com
National parks, gardens, craft studios, pottery kilns, art galleries, bird watching, nature tours, trains, spa resorts, honeymoon and architecture are all included in the range of tours from Destination Management – Toursgallery.
May and June are excellent months to visit Japan after the huge crowds of cherry blossom tourists have vanished and azalea, iris and wisteria bring colour to traditional Japanese landscape gardens, Zen gardens and even the wild natural areas.

A nice chilled out HipHop track set to a collection of photographs that fall under the theme category of “green” here in Nagano City, Japan. One of the things I often do in photography is to shoot with a specific theme in mind. This could be a color, object, motion, texture, etc. I find shooting for specific colors to be a joy and especially in collecting the photographs over time. Most of the photographs taken in this collection were photographed sometime in the summer or late Spring. I hope you enjoy they slideshow as much as I have enjoyed photographing the scenes within. By the way, “Midori” means “Green” in Japanese. “A Midori Summer in Japan” is by Jim Atwood Photography at http://jimatwood.net. The music soundtrack is courtesy of http://teddygram.newgrounds.com. Thank you!
